After Remarrying a Childless General, She Has Many Children — Her Ex Goes Mad

Lin Ruyuan lived a life of sacrifice for the Fang family, only to be betrayed and murdered by her husband, Fang Shijun, who had conspired with his family to steal her wealth and hide the truth about her sister’s death. Reborn into the 1980s, she finds herself at a critical juncture during Fang Mother’s birthday celebration, where she confronts the reality that Fang Shijun’s childhood sweetheart, Bai Jingshu, is actually the mother of twin sons who are Fang Shijun’s illegitimate children. In her previous life, Lin Ruyuan had ignored these signs, but this time she acts decisively. When Bai Jingshu’s son, Xiaofeng, pushes her into a pond and mocks her, Lin Ruyuan retaliates by throwing the boy back into the water, shocking the Fang family and exposing the boy’s lack of discipline.

The confrontation escalates when Fang Shijun attempts to strike Lin Ruyuan in a rage. She defends herself by striking his weak point, forcing him to his knees and demonstrating her refusal to be a passive victim. Qin Jianchuan, a regiment commander and the son of a family friend, intervenes by offering her his jacket and later driving her home. Qin Jianchuan reveals that he used his grandfather’s influence to ensure the annulment of her engagement with Fang Shijun went smoothly, stating clearly that Fang Shijun is unworthy of her. Lin Ruyuan, wary of entanglements, initially keeps her distance but acknowledges his help. She returns home to her loving parents, Lin Baoguo and Zhao Guixiang, and announces her decision to annul the engagement, revealing the truth about Fang Shijun’s illegitimate children to her family.

Lin Baoguo and Zhao Guixiang are furious upon learning of Fang Shijun’s deceit and fully support their daughter’s decision to end the engagement. Lin Ruyuan’s elder sister, Lin Ruyi, returns from her own marriage to check on her, revealing that Lin Ruyuan’s previous life’s tragedy regarding her sister’s death was exacerbated by the Fang family’s concealment of information. Lin Ruyuan resolves to protect her family and build a new life independent of the Fangs. She transfers from the Finance Department to the Agriculture Department at university, choosing a path aligned with her true interests rather than the business role the Fang family had planned for her. This decision surprises her professors but reflects her determination to live for herself.

Meanwhile, Fang Shijun, desperate to secure the 500,000 yuan inheritance promised by his grandfather if he marries Lin Ruyuan, attempts to harass her on campus. He kneels before her, begging for forgiveness and claiming he cannot abandon his children, but Lin Ruyuan rejects him coldly, exposing his greed and deception in front of their classmates. Qin Jianchuan protects her from further harassment, claiming her as his girlfriend to deter Fang Shijun, and later confesses his romantic intentions. Lin Ruyuan remains cautious but begins to see Qin Jianchuan’s genuine care. She also encounters Bai Jingshu, who demands money from Lin Ruyuan to facilitate her divorce and entry into the Fang family. Lin Ruyuan refuses and slaps Bai Jingshu, asserting her dominance and rejecting any involvement in their schemes.

Lin Ruyuan’s business acumen resurfaces when she helps her father’s workplace at the Jing City Textile Factory resolve a contract dispute with foreign partners. She identifies critical errors in the translation and contract terms that nearly caused the factory a significant financial loss. Impressed by her skills, the factory director offers her a lucrative consulting role. This success provides Lin Ruyuan with the capital to start a small agricultural business with her parents, focusing on off-season vegetables. As she builds her independence and wealth, Qin Jianchuan continues to pursue her, while the Fang family descends into chaos due to Fang Shijun’s failures and Bai Jingshu’s manipulations. Lin Ruyuan is poised to reclaim her life, protect her family, and seek justice for the wrongs suffered in her past life.
