Cheng Su sat hugging her knees, staring blankly at the red room, letting the memories of her predecessor erode her.
Qi Taiguo, now twenty-eight years old, had significant military accomplishments and was already a company commander in the Qing City Army Command, highly valued by his superiors, with a future that shone bright.
In contrast, Cheng Su was the daughter of farmers. The Cheng family ancestors were capitalists, but their fortunes had declined generations ago. Yet she still fancied herself as someone descended from wealth. She failed to realize how far they had fallen; in this 1980s era, she was a true village girl, a pure bumpkin.
Yes, the 1980s!
Cheng Su, having died saving someone in her past life, was dragged down from a building and her soul transmigrated into someone with the same name and surname. That is, the Cheng Su who was about to jump from a building was now twenty years old!
Cheng Su covered her face and wailed. Was this what they meant when they said good people didn't live long?
Out of all the rare occurrences, she had to encounter this one. Was it a coincidence or a cruel jest by the heavens?
Returning to the body's original owner, she was quite a character: proud and arrogant, barely shy of being aggressive and domineering. How could such a person marry Qi Taiguo, a man with such a promising future?
It was also Qi Taiguo's shame. When he was young, he broke his leg working in the fields with his father and had no money for treatment. Cheng Liushan, Cheng Su's father, had earned a large sum of money for capturing bandits before the liberation and thus lent a significant amount to the Qi family, saving Qi Taiguo's leg. The condition for this loan was a marriage arrangement between their children.
At that time, the Qi family was in dire straits, Mother Qi was in poor health, and Cheng Su, the family's daughter, was also well-born. On a whim, Father Qi agreed to the marriage, not realizing it would be a lifelong regret. The Cheng family's fortunes kept declining year by year, and Cheng Su's personality twisted as she grew, believing they had bought Qi Taiguo with money, which only fueled her possessiveness.
