Opening My Eyes After Death and Returning to the Pre-Marriage Period, Kicked the Scumbag and Married the Military Officer

He Wanqing was a woman who sacrificed her entire life for a family that viewed her only as a resource. After her father died, she married Xu Weijun, a man who claimed to be injured and impotent, believing his promise of a quiet life together. Instead, she was trapped in a web of deceit orchestrated by Xu Weijun and his cousin, He Cao. For decades, He Wanqing worked tirelessly, supporting Xu Weijun’s career, raising his children with He Cao as if they were her own, and funding the entire Xu family. She endured the label of being a jinx after her relatives died one by one, isolated and exploited, all while Xu Weijun lived a lie, pretending to be dead to escape his obligations and later rising to power with He Cao by his side.

The turning point arrived when He Wanqing, suffering from kidney failure, returned home with her medical report. She overheard her in-laws and adopted siblings discussing how to evict her and steal her remaining assets. They revealed that Xu Weijun was alive, that the children were his with He Cao, and that they had planned to harvest her organs for He Cao’s wife. Shattered and enraged, He Wanqing realized the depth of their betrayal. She sought help from her cousin, He Cao, unaware that He Cao was the very woman conspiring against her. He Cao feigned sympathy, extracting information about He Wanqing’s hidden assets before betraying her. That night, He Wanqing confronted the Xu family, exposing their lies and abuses. The confrontation turned violent; she attacked them with a wooden stick, killing them in a fit of rage. As she lay dying from the injuries inflicted by Xu’s mother, she learned the final, cruel truth: her cousin He Cao had been Xu Weijun’s lover all along.

He Wanqing’s soul lingered, watching as the Xu family disposed of her body and stole her wealth. She witnessed decades pass in a spectral state until a beam of light transported her back in time. She reopened her eyes to find herself in the past, on the day her mother-in-law, Zhu Sanni, came to demand she agree to a rushed wedding date. In her previous life, He Wanqing had been submissive and naive, allowing herself to be manipulated into the marriage. This time, however, she was fueled by the memory of her brutal death and the betrayal she suffered.

When Zhu Sanni arrived, berating He Wanqing and demanding she accept the wedding terms, He Wanqing slapped her. The village erupted in shock. He Wanqing, no longer the timid girl, stood her ground. She publicly exposed the Xu family’s greed and the rumors surrounding Xu Weijun’s infidelity. When Zhu Sanni attempted to twist the narrative and claim He Wanqing was the aggressor, He Wanqing used her knowledge of future events to dismantle Zhu Sanni’s lies. She pointed out the inconsistencies in the dowry promises and the suspicious behavior of He Cao, who was secretly pregnant with Xu Weijun’s child. The He family, initially reluctant to interfere, rallied around He Wanqing upon seeing her bruises and hearing the truth. Her grandmother and aunts physically assaulted Zhu Sanni, forcing the Xu family to retreat in disgrace.

He Wanqing refused to marry Xu Weijun, breaking the engagement publicly. She also demanded the return of all money and tickets the Xu family had borrowed from her relatives over the years. With the marriage off, He Wanqing began to rebuild her life. She protected her family from the tragedies that had befallen them in her previous timeline, ensuring her father and brothers survived. She distanced herself from the toxic Xu family and her deceitful cousin, He Cao, who was now forced to marry into the Xu family without the security of He Wanqing’s support. The story follows He Wanqing as she navigates her second chance, using her foreknowledge to secure her family’s future and exact revenge on those who had destroyed her life.
