Reborn in the 80s: The Husband-Doting Fanatic Slays All

Tang Ximian lived a regretful life where she was raised by neighbors and married Chu Jiangchuan, a soldier who had been injured and retired, out of a sense of obligation. Despite his devotion, she was manipulated by Xia Wenbo, a smooth-talking village man who deceived her into believing Chu Jiangchuan was unfaithful. Tang Ximian demanded a divorce and attempted suicide by jumping into a river, which led to their separation. In her final days, she learned that Chu Jiangchuan had remained single and cherished her belongings, realizing too late that his silence was born of deep love. Upon her death, her soul returned to her wedding day, giving her a second chance to alter her fate.

Waking up in her past, Tang Ximian immediately rejected the idea of divorce, shocking Chu Jiangchuan and her mother-in-law, Xu Guangfen. She recognized that her previous foolishness had been caused by the lies of Xia Wenbo and the toxic influence of her so-called friend, Fang Juan. Determined to rebuild her life, Tang Ximian took charge of the household, using her knowledge of traditional medicine to treat Chu Jiangchuan’s leg injury. She confronted Xia Wenbo and Fang Juan, firmly establishing boundaries and exposing their malicious intentions. Her sudden change in attitude confused those around her, but her diligence and affection toward her husband began to soften the strict Xu Guangfen.

The family faced a new crisis when Chu Jiangchuan’s sister, Chu Jiangrong, fled her abusive marriage to the Lu family. Tang Ximian organized a confrontation, physically defending her sister and exposing the Lu family’s cruelty and corruption. She successfully negotiated a divorce for Chu Jiangrong, ensuring she took her daughter, Nana, with her. Nana suffered from a congenital heart condition that required expensive surgery, creating an urgent financial pressure on the family. Tang Ximian realized that farming alone would not provide the necessary funds, prompting her to seek employment outside the village.

Tang Ximian traveled to the county town and secured a position as a morning news announcer at the local broadcasting station, a rare opportunity for a woman with only a high school education. Her standard Mandarin and professional demeanor impressed the director, Song Weiguo. During her tenure, she discovered a hidden talent for translation when she correctly interpreted a French news segment that stumped the staff. This led to a side income through a connection with her dormitory roommate, Liu Mengjia, allowing her to earn significant extra money.

As Tang Ximian’s career progressed, she balanced her work with her family responsibilities. She bought gifts for her relatives and invested in Chu Jiangchuan’s recovery, which showed steady improvement. Her relationship with Chu Jiangchuan deepened from mutual respect to genuine romantic love, marked by intimate moments and shared future plans. Meanwhile, she continued to fend off interference from Fang Juan and her mother, who attempted to exploit the family’s newfound stability. Tang Ximian remained focused on her goal: earning enough money to fund Nana’s surgery and secure a prosperous future for her family, effectively rewriting the tragic outcomes of her previous life.
