Romance

Qin Mei accidentally transmigrated to the 1970s. The original owner of the body was also named Qin Mei. She wasn't in an arranged marriage without choice, but rather coveted Jie Jingchen. Having heard from somewhere that he was going to marry a primary school teacher, she decided to strike first, creating a fait accompli and forcing him to marry her.
    Her methods were despicable, but they were effective.
    The original owner was a massive troublemaker; at only eighteen, she had already become a widow, branded as a husband-jinx.
    The 'Chong Xi' marriage failed, sending the person on their deathbed to their grave, and she was nailed to the village's pillar of shame.
    ...
    She has none of the original owner's memories. As someone from the 21st century, how is she supposed to survive in the 1970s?
    Fortunately, the original owner found her a husband before she died. She'll cling to his thigh, live off him, curry favor with her parents-in-law, dominate her sisters-in-law, tear apart the “green tea bitches,” help her eldest sister-in-law, kick her brother-in-law, encourage her disabled younger sister-in-law, and ride the spring winds of reform to get rich.
    ...
    “Why isn't Sister-in-law here to take care of you yet?”
    Jie Jingchen's mouth twitched. He looked at the busy figure by the next sickbed; his wife was taking care of another man.
    “Are you sure he's your husband?” Jie Jingchen couldn't help but ask.
    “Are you kidding? Would I mistake my own husband?” Qin Mei glared at him.
    Not until the man's wife arrived and she was beaten up for being the “other woman,” did Qin Mei become completely bewildered. After taking meticulous care of him for a week, who on earth had she been taking care of?
    ...
    Under a tree, the neighbors sat together chatting.
    “So-and-so's daughter-in-law died from drinking pesticide.”
    “Why drink the pesticide herself? Why not give it to her in-laws? If you're not afraid of dying, why would you be afraid of poisoning their whole family? If it were me, I'd definitely drag their whole family down with me to be buried together. That way, I wouldn't be lonely on the Yellow Springs Road.” Qin Mei couldn't help but chime in.
    “...” Everyone was speechless.
    This conversation... made all the in-laws tremble in fear.
