Synopsis:

Song Miansi was thoroughly defeated  by her cousin's family in her last life. The house left by her parents, money and food stamps all went to her cousin's family.

Even her death was completely taken advantage of by her cousin's family and became a material for blackmailing her husband.

After turning into a ghost, she watched her cousin's family get better. The cousin became a college student, married into a big family, and became a millionaire; then she seduced her husband Lin Hecheng, and after failure, she became angry and retaliated against him.

Fortunately, Lin Hecheng's methods were superb and did not let her succeed. Instead, he discovered that there was a problem with her death. He ran around, trying all kinds of ways to investigate the truth of her death and the secrets of her cousin's family.

Just when all the answers were about to be revealed, Song Miansi was born again, just before they got married.

Her Eldest Aunt refused the matchmaker: "Miansi looks down on your family's Hecheng."

Song Miansi : "Who said that! Of all the men in the world, I just want to marry him!"

There are many affectionate women in the world, but few dedicated men. There is someone who loves her all his life and seeks justice for her, remembering her birthday and death, year after year. 

Song Miansi decided to treat him well, help him take care of his younger siblings, and lead his family to get rich. More importantly, she wanted to ask when Lin Hecheng started to like her.

Impressions: This is also good. Not much sweet romance, but more on family and business management.

So our MC was reborn. In the past life, she didn't want to marry ML so she was tricked by a family friend to leave on the wedding night. In the end, her friend was actually planning to sell her off; when she tried to escape, he hit her with a brick and she died. Later, she became a ghost and watched her cousin become a winner in life. She found out that the cousin's family who took her in after she was orphaned was actually evil/harming her behind the scenes. And ML was investigating the truth about her death.

She rebirth right when ML was proposing marriage to her and this time, she agreed. Soon, MC's aunt/uncle/cousin quickly revealed their true face and MC also gets revenge on them little by little. After the marriage, ML leaves to go to the army while MC stays with ML's younger sibs in the countryside. ML and his sibs are not favored in their family, and when it was suspected that ML had an accident (ML went on a secret mission and forgot to send a letter home), ML's family kicked the three of them out (MC & ML bro and sis). Using the magical space, MC went to do business/sell in the City/black market. Laters she sent all her goods to a state restaurant. After this business, she also set up a stall to sell clothes. She also proposed to build an oil mill factory in their village and she became the Factory Director (business management tag)

On MC's evil relatives, they would always come up with plots to make trouble with MC, sometimes the idea is theirs, sometimes, they are instigated by MC's cousin. The winner-in-life cousin is actually a transmigrator. She transmigrated into a book where MC was the original heroine. She resents the MC for being the heroine so she keeps sabotaging her. MC cousin also wanted to get the male lead(?) in the book. (Not sure if he's the male lead, but he was chasing MC in the book) Anyways, life is getting better and better for MC, and the relatives that try to frame her all end up miserable.

Laters, MC and book male lead really did meet when cousin brought the book male lead home to their as hometown as her boyfriend. Cousin's true face is exposed and book male lead broke up with her and also fell inlove with MC. But MC already has ML so he didn't chase her. MC passes the college exam and went to a University in the Capital where there is an...extreme girl inlove with book male lead and treats MC as a love rival. She also ends up miserable. MC starts her own clothing company. Then MC's life experience is revealed, she is actually the long lost daughter of rich Hongkongers. Ending is MC & ML going back to the village to get married/have wedding wine. The End.

Like I said, it isn't that fluffy/sweet since most of the time, MC & ML live apart (ML's in the army). And when they're together, ML is a bit...stupid/dull (lol) so his sibs always worry that their sister-in-law will run away. The business management part was okay, it shows off  our MC's luck and talents. I guess what I really like is that when MC's enemies try to harm her, they would ultimately end up harming themselves. It isn't the usual faceslapping, but more on karma ^_^ Its fun seeing them be miserable without MC needing to do everything~~ hohoho~

Read this for a good person MC and ML that shows up from time to time XD
