Rebirth: Exchange Marriage, Jiaojiao is Pampered by the Big Shot into a Little Good-for-Nothing

Jiang Li, an adopted daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, experienced a traumatic five-year marriage to Ye Yuchen in her previous life. Despite Ye Yuchen’s public persona as a devoted husband, he privately tortured her, forcing her to copy books for his beloved "white moonlight" until her hands were scarred and her health ruined. After her death, Jiang Li was reborn to the day before her marriage swap was finalized. The Jiang family’s true biological daughter, Jiang Song’er, had also been reborn. In her past life, Jiang Song’er had married the powerful Yuan Hezhi but was neglected and unhappy. Determined to avoid that fate, she manipulated her parents into swapping the arranged marriages, claiming she wanted to marry the seemingly gentle Ye Yuchen instead.

Jiang Li, aware of Ye Yuchen’s true cruel nature from her past life, eagerly accepted the swap to marry Yuan Hezhi, whom she believed to be impotent and therefore harmless. She anticipated a life of wealth without marital intimacy. However, Yuan Hezhi was not the passive figure she expected. He was a dominant, possessive, and intensely observant man who had long harbored an interest in her. During their first meeting at a matchmaking banquet, Yuan Hezhi immediately recognized Jiang Li’s shift in attitude and became intrigued by her apparent willingness to marry him. Meanwhile, Ye Yuchen, also reborn, found himself obsessed with Jiang Li, realizing too late that he had taken her for granted in his previous life.

The core conflict centers on Jiang Li’s attempt to navigate her new marriage while avoiding the pitfalls of her past. She tries to please Yuan Hezhi through flattery and obedience, unaware that he is already deeply invested in her. Yuan Hezhi, who suffers from a strong need for control, finds Jiang Li’s submissive and sweet demeanor irresistible. He accelerates their wedding plans, determined to secure her as his wife. Jiang Li, however, remains cautious, fearing Ye Yuchen’s potential retaliation and hoping to maintain a distant relationship with Yuan Hezhi.

A key turning point occurs when Jiang Li outsmarts a trap set by Yuan Hezhi’s stepmother, Madam Yuan, who attempts to embarrass her by demanding a sutra copy for the family matriarch, who has banned Buddhist texts due to a recent tragedy. Jiang Li cleverly presents a non-sutra gift, avoiding the taboo and earning Yuan Hezhi’s admiration. This incident solidifies Yuan Hezhi’s resolve to protect and cherish her, while Jiang Li begins to see him not as a threat but as a potential ally against her past abuser.

As the story progresses, Jiang Li’s relationship with Yuan Hezhi deepens. He reveals his intense possessiveness and desire for a genuine marriage, shocking Jiang Li, who had assumed their union would be loveless. Meanwhile, Jiang Song’er struggles with her marriage to Ye Yuchen, who is increasingly distant and obsessed with Jiang Li. Jiang Li, now empowered by her new position and Yuan Hezhi’s protection, begins to plan her revenge against Ye Yuchen and the Jiang family for their past mistreatment. The narrative follows her journey from a victim of abuse to a confident woman navigating a complex web of family politics, romantic entanglements, and personal growth, all while uncovering the true nature of those around her.
