Chapter 1

Late spring is a good time for apricot blossoms and light rain.

It was the busy farming season, but a small village on the outskirts of Kuncheng was in an uproar.

“Oh no! Someone, come! The bride has committed suicide by jumping into the river!”

Yu Ruyan moved her aching body, and her mind went blank for a moment.

She vaguely remembered that she had died of a very complicated heart disease.

So where was he now? The underworld?

I opened my eyes in a daze, and what caught my eye was the yellowed mosquito net, the dilapidated roof, the walls covered with old newspapers, and men and women wearing clothes from the 1980s and 1990s.

What’s going on?

These people, oh no, why don’t these ghosts have green faces, fangs and scary looks?

Could it be that the King of Hell is also trying its best to build a civilized and harmonious society, requiring ghosts to pay attention to their appearance and uphold civilized etiquette?

Just as she was still pondering how to deal with these ghosts from civilized society, a strange memory suddenly flooded into Yu Ruyan’s mind.

There is also a woman named Yu Ruyan, who was brainwashed for many years by her parents who favored boys over girls, and became an out-and-out Voldemort.

She married an officer named Dong Zhange at the age of 20, but under the instigation of her parents, she greedily and shamelessly stole Dong’s family property back to her parents’ home to build houses for her two younger brothers and marry them off.

Only two or three months after getting married, her husband died on the battlefield. Her biological parents coveted the Dong family’s property and even instigated Yu Ruyan to snatch the property.

The well-educated Dong family finally agreed to Yu Ruyan’s rude request to divide the property. Enduring the grief of their son’s sacrifice, they gave half of their property to Yu Ruyan.

What happened next was even more outrageous.

Yu Ruyan’s parents coaxed and deceived her into giving the two houses given to her by the Dong family to her two younger brothers, and also swindled the pension that her husband had earned with his life.

After squeezing her dry, he immediately turned against her and kicked this brain-dead woman out of the house on the grounds that his divorced daughter could not stay at her parents’ home during the New Year.

On New Year’s Eve, Yu Ruyan, who was wandering outside, finally came to her senses and eventually jumped into the lake and died.

“Revenge for me!”

“Atone for me!”

The end of the memory was a woman’s roar filled with hatred and pain, which kept echoing in Yu Ruyan’s mind like a brand.

So noisy!

Yu Ruyan turned over and sat up, only to see a middle-aged woman in a red bat-wing shirt and black leggings rushing towards her and slapping her hard in the face.

“Yu Ruyan, you’ve grown up, haven’t you? Your parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words mean you have to get married, whether you want to or not!”

The middle-aged woman had a ferocious look on her face as she pinched and twisted Yu Ruyan’s body fiercely.

“Do you know how much effort I put into forcing the Dong family to acknowledge the verbal engagement made by the elders, and to get Dong Zhange to agree to marry you?”

While cursing, the middle-aged woman raised her hand again, intending to hit Yu Ruyan in the face.

Modern white-collar worker Yu Ruyan was angry.

I’m riding a horse…

I was born in a new society and grew up under the red flag. I have always believed in civility, courtesy, harmony and equality. How can I tolerate your slaps in the face one after another?

Do you think I’m a weakling?

Getting out of bed, Yu Ruyan picked up the half-finished shoe sole beside her and blew it hard at the middle-aged woman’s face.

At the moment of counterattack, when Yu Ruyan realized that this body was young, healthy and full of energy, she was overjoyed.

This is much more useful than his sickly body, especially in fighting, it is simply too advantageous.

This realization filled Yu Ruyan with strength. She swung her shoe even harder and even grabbed the middle-aged woman’s hair tightly to increase her chances of hitting the target.

Soon, the situation changed.

The middle-aged woman who had been so arrogant suddenly howled like a pig, covering her head and running away while crying for mercy.

It was not until two young men with ferocious faces rushed in, grabbed Yu Ruyan’s arms on the left and right and held her tightly that this battle with a huge disparity in strength finally ended.

The middle-aged woman’s face was swollen from being hit by the shoe soles, and it was red and swollen like a braised pig’s head.

She cried as if she had lost her parents, slapped her thigh and cursed.

“Oh my! What sin have I committed? How could I raise such an unfilial daughter? What daughter would dare to hit her own mother?”

Yu Ruyan, still holding the shoe sole with murderous intent: “…”

Eh? Is this the original owner’s patriarchal, vicious, and ruthless mother, Wang Dafen? Tsk…

If I had known earlier, I should have used more force and beat this woman into a bitch!

Wang Dafen climbed up and pointed at the two men holding Yu Ruyan, crying, “What are you two still standing there for? Didn’t you see your mother getting beaten? Beat Yu Ruyan up! Beat her to death!”

Hearing this, the two muscular men rolled up their sleeves and prepared to deal with Yu Ruyan.

Looking at the other party’s vicious look, Yu Ruyan felt terrible in her heart.

It is true that this shell is very useful, but it cannot withstand a one-to-many situation!

And they are two heavy and strong men. What a good guy… I am afraid that I will die again after being reborn?

Just as the opponent’s fist was about to fall, the door was kicked open.

A handsome young soldier in military uniform stood at the door with his back to the light, like a god descending from the sky, instantly giving Yu Ruyan hope of life.

This, this, this… Isn’t this the original owner’s ATM machine? No, isn’t this the original owner’s husband Dong Zhange?

Without considering anything else, Yu Ruyan adhered to the principle of saving the dog’s life, and rushed forward decisively, holding Dong Zhange’s thigh tightly.

“Husband, help!”

Dong Zhange couldn’t handle the word “husband” anymore.

Today is the day he marries Yu Ruyan.

Before this, they had only met briefly when they got their marriage certificate, so there was naturally no such thing as free love and cultivating feelings.

My grandfather and Yu Ruyan’s grandfather were comrades who fought against the enemy in the same trench. Yu’s grandfather even saved my grandfather’s life several times.

After a great victory, the two were smoking and chatting when they got excited and decided to get engaged.

Perhaps even God felt that this marriage was unreliable, so the two families gave birth to sons one after another, but there was not even a shadow of a daughter!

Later, with the passing of Yu Ruyan’s grandfather, this verbal marriage contract had long been forgotten by later generations until Wang Dafen came to the door and asked the Yu family to fulfill the contract.

The old man of the Yu family was a man of his word. He did not deny the marriage, so he decided to arrange the marriage between Dong Zhange and Yu Ruyan. He even gave a high betrothal gift according to Wang Dafen’s request, which was no different from selling his daughter.

Today, just as he entered the village to welcome his bride, he heard that Yu Ruyan had committed suicide by jumping into the water. He also heard that it was because she already had a lover and was not satisfied with this marriage…

Thinking of this, Dong Zhange looked down at the woman who was hugging his thighs and calling him husband, and was a little confused for a moment.

No, Yu Ruyan, can you focus on yourself?

Could you please move your hand down a little instead of climbing up all the time? If you move up any further, it will get stuck in your crotch!

Dong Zhange’s face was a little dark.

However, remembering the old man’s instructions before leaving, he had to suppress his displeasure, reached out and grabbed Yu Ruyan’s arm, protecting her behind him.

“I’m here, let’s see who dares to touch her!”

Dong Zhange has been training in the army for a long time. He has a strong body and is nearly 1.9 meters tall. Just standing there, he gives people a sense of fear and oppression.

“Can this marriage still be concluded?”

Hearing this, Wang Dafen quickly replied, “Of course they are married. They were just joking around just now. Don’t take it seriously. Our Ruyan is the most docile and obedient!”

When Wang Dafen said the words “docile and obedient”, she couldn’t help but touch her face which was swollen like a pig’s head, and a thousand swear words flashed through her mind.

“In that case, pack up and get ready to go out!”

Dong Zhange looked at Yu Ruyan, who was wearing a thin shirt and was soaked all over, and couldn’t help but frowning slightly.

“Do you have any new clothes? If not, I have some in the car!”
