Pampered Marriage in the 80s the Capitalist Heir Chases After Her to Spoil Her

Fu Yunzhu, a woman from the modern era, transmigrates into the body of a girl with the same name in a period novel set in 1987 rural China. The original owner of this body had been systematically abused by her father, Fu Weidong, her stepmother, He Cuihua, and her stepsister, Fu Yufen. They exploited her monthly child support payments from her biological mother, Jiang Youqing, while forcing her into servitude. The conflict escalates when the family pressures Fu Yunzhu to sacrifice her engagement to Gu Yu so that Fu Yufen can marry him instead, a man who has recently become wealthy and ambitious. In a fit of despair, the original Fu Yunzhu had attempted suicide by smashing her head against a wall, an act that allowed the modern Fu Yunzhu to take over.

Upon waking, Fu Yunzhu immediately confronts her father, refusing to be manipulated any longer. She discovers that Gu Yu is not merely a local businessman but a fellow transmigrator, a ruthless capitalist from her own time who has built a financing empire in the village. Gu Yu is secretly searching for his wife, who also transmigrated, and he has been tracking changes in Fu Yunzhu’s behavior, hoping to find her. However, the current Fu Yunzhu hides her identity, pretending to be the subservient original owner to protect herself. She realizes that Gu Yu is a dangerous man who will likely enslave the villagers if left unchecked, and she resolves to escape to the capital, Kyoto, to reunite with her biological mother.

Fu Yunzhu executes a plan to sever ties with her toxic family. She demands the return of the child support money her mother sent over the years, threatening to expose the engagement swap if her demands are not met. When the family refuses, she manipulates them into borrowing money from Gu Yu under the guise of a usurious contract. This backfires when her father is forced to work for Gu Yu to pay off the debt. Fu Yunzhu uses this opportunity to sell household assets, including a wild boar she hunted with Gu Yu’s help, accumulating enough capital to leave. She also secures a travel certificate from the village chief by bribing him, lying that her father approved her trip to care for her sick mother.

A key turning point occurs when Huang Hui, the village chief’s son, attempts to assault Fu Yunzhu on the road. Gu Yu intervenes, brutally beating Huang Hui and forcing Fu Yunzhu to strike him with a stone to teach her the necessity of ruthlessness. This incident deepens Gu Yu’s confusion, as he sees flashes of his true wife in Fu Yunzhu’s actions, yet she remains elusive. Fu Yunzhu departs for the county, leaving her family in chaos. Her father, realizing he has been outsmarted, is left with debt and no laborer, while Gu Yu races to the train station to stop her, driven by a mix of suspicion and an inexplicable urge to keep her close.

The story concludes with Fu Yunzhu successfully boarding a train to Kyoto, escaping the clutches of her family and the manipulative grasp of Gu Yu. Gu Yu, having traced her ticket purchase, learns she has already departed. He resolves to continue his search for his wife in the capital, while Fu Yunzhu begins a new life, determined to build her own future independent of the men who sought to control her. The narrative sets the stage for a confrontation in the city, where Fu Yunzhu must navigate her new reality while evading a husband who is both her savior and her captor in this new world.
