Married Off in the '80s: Remarried to the Roughest Man and Carrying His Twins

Song Qingdai awakens on the night of her engagement in 1984, realizing she has been reborn to the moment she was drugged and betrayed by her stepsister, Song Mingshan. In her previous life, Song Qingdai was forced to marry Zhang Shaoxing, a divorced man with three children, to fund her brother's marriage. Despite enduring a manipulative and abusive marriage, she raised his three sons to success and built a wealthy life, only to be stabbed to death by a jealous Song Mingshan. Upon waking, Song Qingdai finds herself in the arms of Gao Han, a notorious local troublemaker, after accidentally grabbing him instead of her intended victim, Jiang Zhaoyun. Recognizing that Song Mingshan has also been reborn and is attempting to swap their fates, Song Qingdai seizes the opportunity to reject Zhang Shaoxing and declare her engagement to Gao Han.

Song Mingshan, eager to reclaim the wealthy life she remembers Song Qingdai having, insists on marrying Zhang Shaoxing in her sister's place. She believes that by becoming the virtuous stepmother, she will secure the family fortune and status. However, Song Qingdai knows the dark truth: Zhang Shaoxing is impotent and abusive, and his three sons are cruel psychopaths who tortured her to death. She watches with detachment as Song Mingshan falls into the trap, while she prepares to build a new life with Gao Han. Gao Han, who has harbored feelings for Song Qingdai since childhood, is determined to protect her from her predatory family. He offers a substantial bride price of 3,888 yuan, directly depositing it into Song Qingdai's personal account to prevent her family from seizing the money.

The Song family, led by the greedy stepmother Feng Cuifen and half-brother Song Guangji, attempts to extort Song Qingdai and throw her belongings into the courtyard to force her submission. Gao Han intervenes, physically assaulting Song Guangji to retrieve a pendant belonging to Song Qingdai's deceased mother. He publicly declares his commitment to Song Qingdai, earning the support of the neighborhood residents who have long sympathized with her mistreatment. Gao Han then takes Song Qingdai to his home, where his parents, particularly his mother Ye Chunjiang, welcome her with warmth and respect, offering her a safe haven and a house in the provincial capital.

Meanwhile, Song Mingshan visits Zhang Shaoxing's home for the first time, encountering his three sons. Despite their outwardly charming behavior, they reveal their true nature by attempting to drown her in a sink, framing her for the attack when Zhang Shaoxing returns. Song Mingshan realizes too late that her plan has led her into a nightmare, but she is trapped by her own ambition and the family's control. As Song Qingdai and Gao Han prepare for their wedding, she begins to heal from her past trauma, supported by a family that values her well-being. The story follows her transition from a victim of familial exploitation to a woman claiming agency over her destiny, while Song Mingshan faces the consequences of her greed and betrayal in her second chance at life.
