Fully Completed

Pre-received "Eighties Opening, Struck the Boss's Head with a Stick", Hong Kong-style era story. Interested readers can check out the author's column.

There's a contrasting pair in Qinghe Village.

Jiang XiuXiu from the village captain's family and Meng Wanqiu from the village committee secretary's family. The former is white-skinned and beautiful, hard-working and capable - a girl pursued by many families.

The latter, however, was mentally disabled for more than a decade. Though she eventually recovered, her character appeared lazy and gluttonous. Everyone's skin pale and underweight in rural China, yet the Meng family strangely raised a plump, rosy-cheeked daughter.

Mother of Heaven! Who dares to marry this girl?!

So one girl represents a "hundred families seeking marriage", while another causes "every family running away".

Meng Wanqiu was adopted by an assassin organization in her previous life. Due to dull talent, she didn't qualify as an assassin but became support staff instead.

The good news is that Meng Wanqiu's biggest advantage is her easygoing nature - she has no grand ambitions, just desires good food, clothing and a peaceful life.

Who knew, due to internal chaos in the assassin group without self-defense skills, she inevitably got eliminated.

After death she didn't drink Mengpo's soup, but directly reincarnated as the village committee secretary's youngest daughter in Qinghe Village.

Jiang XiuXiu has been reborn too.

Before dying, she saw Pei Xingzhi - once the same urban intellectual in Qinghe Village as her ex-husband. Now he's a famous business magnate.

In drizzling rain, Pei Xingzhi strides forward in a well-tailored black suit with shoulder-length coat and scarf protection assistant following closely, disappearing from Jiang XiuXiu's sight amidst a group of admirers.

Jiang XiuXiu thought, how good it would have been if she'd chosen Pei Xingzhi among the intellectuals back then.

Favored by fate, Jiang XiuXiu swears that in this life she will definitely win Pei Xingzhi.

But how come Pei Xingzhi married Meng Wanqiu - the lazy, gluttonous "retarded" daughter of Qinghe Village?

Pei Xingzhi's life story is complicated. His father was sent to the farm, mother remarried. Grandparents died from humiliation. At 14, his house was taken from by force and ended up on the street, relying on street cleaning for survival. At 16, his mother brought him back, yet only to serve as substitute for his stepbrother's "sending to countryside" program.

Four下乡 years, constantly kind, still got university spot stolen. Now they even force him to marry their daughter, or he'll never be allowed to leave Qinghe Village.

Pei Xingzhi smirks and immediately heads to the village captain's bitterest rival - the committee secretary's home.

Pei Xingzhi appears gentle, but cold-hearted inside. He doesn't care about anyone. By marrying Meng Wanqiu, he wants to avoid trouble. Though he doesn't love her, he will make her family his permanent responsibility.

Meng Wanqiu (yawns lazily): Just do your thing. Hand over the money regularly that's fine.

Pei Xingzhi had always hated being controlled. But one day, when his emotions fall completely into Meng Wanqiu's control, he finds himself enjoying it.
