A Wrong Match in the Eighties: The Chaste Officer Is Seeing Red

[Both leads are reborn + swapped marriages + magic space + devoted to each other + sweet and satisfying]

In her previous life, Su Wanyin’s younger sister stole her arranged marriage. Su Wanyin married a country bumpkin, while her sister married the son of a commander.

After the wedding, the country bumpkin made a fortune with her guidance and help, becoming the richest man in the country. She, too, became the envy of all as a wealthy wife.

But then her sister’s commander-in-law family was suddenly sent to the countryside for reform. Her sister refused to go, stole the family’s last bit of money, and disappeared.

This time around, both Su Wanyin and her sister are reborn.

Her sister marries the country bumpkin before she can. Su Wanyin retrieves her mother’s belongings and marries into the commander’s family.

But the “ugly brute” and “wife-beater” her sister described turns out to be tall, aloof, and refined, righteous in public, yet fiercely possessive and competitive when it comes to her.

With her help, the commander’s family makes a comfortable life for themselves in the countryside and is cleared of wrongdoing and sent back to the city in less than a year.

Her husband gets promoted, she becomes an official’s wife, and she is admitted to a top medical university, becoming a renowned physician of her era. Her life turns out even more glorious than it was in her previous life.

Meanwhile, her sister, who stole the country bumpkin, never becomes a wealthy wife. Instead, she racks up enormous debts and ends up a beggar.

At first, Fu Shimo thinks the sly, foxlike woman is an enemy spy. He treats her coldly and even lets her mistake his subordinate for her fiancé without correcting her.

Later, he sees her growing closer and closer to his subordinate, until they’re on the verge of getting married.

Filled with regret, he stares at her with bloodshot eyes. “Wanyin, I was wrong.”
