Mu Jinyue transmigrates into the body of a rural girl in the 1960s. Her parents are honest and hardworking, while her grandparents are strict and domineering. All she wants is to live a peaceful life.

Her cousin, Mu Jinhua, is the most beautiful girl in the village. Engaged to a man from the city, she flaunts her status every chance she gets. But after suffering a high fever, Jinhua suddenly refuses to marry her city fiance—instead, she insists that Jinyue take her place!

…

Mu Jinhua has been reborn! In her past life, on her wedding day, her fiance had secretly married another woman. Forced to marry his younger brother instead, her married life was a mess. Compared to her sister-in-law, she was made to feel worthless. Later, when the economy opened up, her husband made a fortune—only to cheat on her and demand a divorce…

Around that time, Jinhua heard that her cousin—the one she had always looked down on—had married the poorest man in the neighboring village. Yet, that man became a successful entrepreneur. Unfortunately, her cousin died young, unable to enjoy her good fortune.

Now reborn, Jinhua’s first priority is breaking off her engagement! She’ll marry that man in her cousin’s place, bear him sons, and wait to become the wife of a wealthy businessman.

But as she waits… and waits… and waits… why has the man been arrested instead?

Note: Marriage before love. The male lead is not the person mentioned in the synopsis.
