Summary:
In her previous life, Li Qinghe married into the Xu family with pomp and splendor but was treated coldly and ignored by everyone in the household she married into. She eventually died of an illness to make way for her husband’s white moonlight.
However, she woke up again, this time with prior knowledge of herself being just a cannon fodder in a sweet romance novel. In the original novel, Qinghe had saved the male protagonist’s life and then asked him to marry her as repayment. She then made the lovers’ lifetime a hell because of her jealousy. Now that she had returned to the past and been given a second chance at life, Li Qinghe decided to change her way of living. She resolved to stay away from the male and female protagonists. It was still important to save his life for the story to continue, but that kindness would be exchanged for silver, and she would leave instead.
But unexpectedly, the original male protagonist was not reconciled to this and rushed to become entangled with her ruthlessly. She had a violent temper and rolled up her sleeves, intending to hit him. Another man beside her saw this and felt very distressed. Hurriedly taking her hand and squeezing it gently, he said, “Be good. If you’re not careful, your hand will hurt. You should stand aside and let me do such menial work.”
…
In his last life, Zhou Chengkang had built and maintained a large tombstone in front of Li Qinghe’s grave for his entire life after her death. He regretted not expressing the feelings in his heart to her many times. He then died, still carrying that regret.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was reborn and had returned to the time before she had gotten married to Xu Changjie. The beautiful lady was again alive and graceful, drawing at his heartstrings. He couldn’t help but want to take her into his arms.
This time, he won’t miss his chance again.
Double rebirth; a story of a husband and wife farming together and living with scums.
Review:
It's a calm romance story. No, actually the romance is a bit too little. Most of the story is telling about the life of villagers. There is no revenge or something but author give retribution for the bad guys. Overall I enjoyed the story though it is not unique and the conflicts are as expected.
MC rebirth and found out she was a cannon fodder for OML and OFL. After saving OML, she asked for money. OML mother offer to marry her as daughter in law, but MC refused. ML hastily run to MC house and about to prevent her marrying OML. He was rebirth too. Both of them knew that the other was rebirth but they never speak it out. They just got along together and married. No backstory why ML like MC from previous life, where MC married to OML early.
ML family is poor and he was the fourth son, so he need to wait his brothers to marry first. Soon his brothers marry one after another. The first brother marry a widow, who also bring her ex-mother in law to live with ML family. The second brother marry out as recruit son in law. The third marry a rich daughter who asked a high bride price.
There are conflicts between brothers, neighbor, OML and OFL family. In the end it always went back to a peaceful village. MC has 2 son, soon after the second son show up, the novel end. I think it's a bit abrupt but overall it's still okay.
