Chapter 1: A Swap Bride? I Got a Rough Guy with Super Strong Strength!

"Are you really that shameless? So unable to stand being alone?!"

"You're trying to be a female boss and run a shop? Why don't you call all your employees over and have them gang-raped with you before you feel better?!"

Jiang Wanqiu suddenly opened her eyes, panting heavily, cold sweat instantly soaking through her close-fitting silk pajamas.

She instinctively reached out and touched her neck.

She... didn't die?

Those bloodshot, distorted eyes are still vivid in my mind.

Jiang Wanqiu looked around and her heart skipped a beat.

This wasn't the marital home she and that man had lived in for over a decade; it was her old house in Shanghai before she got married.

The Western-style bed, with its carved and gilded decorations, was covered with a soft goose down comforter. A crystal lamp sat on the bedside table, and her favorite oil painting hung on the wall.

Everything was luxurious yet familiar.

Outside the door, the parents' voices could be heard, deliberately hushed and intermittent, carrying a lingering sense of sorrow.

"...That's all we can do. They're both my children, so let them choose for themselves." It was the father's voice, weary and helpless.

"What kind of mess is this! This damned sport!" The mother's voice was choked with sobs.

Jiang Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat as an absurd yet exhilarating thought surged into her mind.

"Squeak—"

The door was gently pushed open.

Father Jiang Weiguo stood at the door. His hair, which was usually neatly combed, was now somewhat disheveled, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days.

"Late Autumn, come out for a bit when you wake up." His voice was a little hoarse.

In the living room, the mother was holding her younger sister Jiang Wanxia's hand, her eyes red-rimmed.

Jiang Wanxia, ​​the younger sister, was dressed in a fashionable dress, her face showing a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

The family sat around the mahogany round table, quietly waiting for the father to speak.

Jiang Weiguo cleared his throat and said heavily, "Wanqiu, Wanxia, ​​Dad has something to tell you."

“Our family has been reported by malicious individuals as a capitalist family, but when has our family ever had any bourgeois behavior!”

"But no matter what, now that the organization has made its decision, our family must go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants."

He paused here, then continued, "But Dad pulled some strings and found Section Chief Wang at the No. 1 Department Store. His son was of marriageable age but still didn't have a girlfriend."

“As long as one of our daughters marries into that family, she can get a spot to stay in the city and become a worker in a state-owned factory.”

The mother wiped away her tears and continued, "But there's only one spot. You two sisters... Your father and I have been discussing it all night, but we still haven't come to a conclusion about who should go and who should stay."

Jiang Weiguo placed two identical small crumpled pieces of paper in the center of the table and sighed.

"Let's draw lots. It's the only way we can do it. Whoever we get, we'll see. It's all up to fate."

Let's draw lots!

It really is this day!

Jiang Wanqiu stared intently at the two small crumpled pieces of paper.

She was reborn! Reborn back to the day that determined her fate!

"Sis? Why aren't you arresting her?"

A crisp, impatient voice interrupted her thoughts.

Jiang Wanqiu looked up and saw her younger sister, Jiang Wanxia, ​​looking at her with an innocent expression.

Jiang Wanqiu hesitated to reach out, scratching her head in embarrassment.

She couldn't remember which of the crumpled pieces of paper had the word "city" written on it, and she was afraid of repeating the same mistake.

Just then, Jiang Wanxia couldn't wait any longer. She quickly reached out, grabbed one of the crumpled pieces of paper, and clenched it tightly in her palm.

Then, she pushed the remaining one in front of Jiang Wanqiu, a gloating smile on her face.

"Sis, this is all that's left, hurry up and open it!"

Jiang Wanqiu was stunned.

wrong.

It wasn't like this in my previous life.

In her previous life, she chose first, and her younger sister chose later.

But... this is for the best.

Jiang Wanqiu picked up the remaining crumpled paper and slowly unfolded it.

There was a single character written on it – “乡” (xiāng).

At the same time, Jiang Wanxia couldn't wait to unfold her crumpled paper, on which was written the character "城" (city).

She let out a long sigh of relief, her lips curling into an uncontrollable smile, her eyes gleaming with ecstatic joy.

Very good!

In this life, she finally made the right choice!

Jiang Wanxia's heart was pounding wildly. Heaven knows how much she hated her past self!

On what basis? On what basis can drawing lots determine a person's fate for their entire life?!

In her previous life, my sister drew the lucky sign to stay in the city, married into a wealthy family in Southeast Asia, and enjoyed a life of luxury that everyone envied!

And what about her? She was sent to that godforsaken place, the Great Northern Wilderness!

She was pampered since childhood and had never experienced such hardship. She worked tirelessly day and night, earning meager work points, and the blisters on her hands never healed!

Although the country man was a soldier, handsome enough to be a minor officer in the military region, what good was a minor officer in the military region?! But whenever she thought of her sister wearing gold and silver in the city, she felt resentful! She was insanely jealous!

She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit whenever a man touched her! After getting married, they started sleeping in separate rooms.

She made a scene, she cried, she acted out of nowhere, and finally, in a fit of pique, she said she wanted a divorce, and that man actually agreed!

She ran back to Shanghai to find her sister, only to find her sister wearing a fashionable wool coat and a glittering gold watch. At that moment, she was so jealous that her eyes almost bled!

She ran to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva, kneeling on the cold prayer mat and swearing that she would do anything to replace her sister!

Unexpectedly, she was robbed that very night and pushed into the Huangpu River, where she was drowned!

But the Bodhisattva really did appear!

She was reborn!

In this life, she will never let her sister have good fortune again!

Looking at the character "乡" in Jiang Wanqiu's hand, Jiang Wanxia felt a surge of vengeful pleasure.

Go! Go to the Great Northern Wilderness and eat coarse grains and wild vegetables!

Go and taste the suffering I endured in my past life!

And I will replace you, become the Wang family's daughter-in-law, live a good life as a city dweller!

Jiang Wanqiu took in the fleeting smugness and resentment in her sister's eyes and understood everything.

It turns out, she was reborn too.

That's fine.

You can enjoy this "blessing" that everyone envies on my behalf.

She raised her head and met her parents' worried gazes. There was no resentment on her face; instead, she calmly revealed a faint smile.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to the countryside." Jiang Wanqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, she had the "good fortune" of staying in the city and married Wang Jianjun, the son of Section Chief Wang.

Everyone envied her, saying she was lucky to have escaped the hardships of being sent to the countryside and instead became the enviable wife of a cadre in the city.

But who knew that the seemingly respectable Wang Jianjun was not a man at all!

He's impotent!

The humiliation on their wedding night, the daily emotional abuse, and the escalating torment and abuse after she discovered his secret...

In order to maintain a semblance of peace, she even agreed to adopt a child to cover for him.

Just moments before, he discovered the "little toy" she had secretly hidden, and his pitiful pride was completely ignited, turning into a ferocious murderous intent.

As soon as she finished speaking, a "ding" sounded in her mind, accompanied by a completely emotionless mechanical voice.

[Host has actively chosen their destiny, meeting the binding conditions. The Elysium Space System has been activated.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a newbie gift pack. Would you like to open it now?]

Jiang Wanqiu was startled, thinking that she was hallucinating from the torment of her past life.

She shook her head instinctively, but the voice rang out clearly again.

[Since the host did not confirm in time, the newbie gift pack will be automatically saved to your space.]

Jiang Weiguo and his wife stood there stunned after their eldest daughter finished speaking, their faces pale, their eyes vacant, their hearts aching as if being cut by a knife.

“Late Autumn… your parents are so sorry for you…” The mother covered her mouth, and tears fell again.

At this moment, Jiang Wanxia sighed softly, stepped forward, and pretended to be affectionate as she took Jiang Wanqiu's arm.

"Sister, don't blame Mom and Dad, it's all fate. It's destiny, so just accept it."
