Scumbag Regrets Breaking Off Engagement? Daughter of Capitalist Makes a High-profile Marriage.

Jiang Jinwan, a successful farm owner from the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the body of a young woman with the same name in 1970s Hainan Island. The original owner was the heiress of a capitalist family that had been sent away for re-education. Her parents publicly severed ties with her to protect her, instructing her to travel a thousand miles to find her military fiancé, Zhao Haiyang, in a desperate attempt to secure her safety through marriage. Upon arriving at the port, Jiang Jinwan suffers from heatstroke and collapses. She is rescued by Huo Zeting, a stern and imposing regiment commander known for his intimidating appearance and a facial scar that makes him feared by locals.

While recovering, Jiang Jinwan discovers she has brought her vast farm from her previous life into a spatial dimension, activated by a jade pendant. This golden finger ensures she will never lack resources, regardless of the era. Huo Zeting, initially surprised by her lack of fear and her bright eyes, offers her a ride to the 132nd Division military district. During the journey, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, a feeling he quickly suppresses. Upon arrival, Jiang Jinwan confronts Zhao Haiyang, only to find him cozying up to Yang Qingling, the daughter of a deputy division commander. Zhao Haiyang had been using the Jiang family’s wealth for years while secretly planning to marry into a more powerful family for promotion.

The confrontation escalates when Zhao Haiyang attempts to dismiss Jiang Jinwan as a distant cousin and deny their engagement. Yang Qingling, threatened by Jiang Jinwan’s presence, joins in the humiliation. However, Jiang Jinwan remains composed. She presents a letter proving the engagement and exposes Zhao Haiyang’s infidelity. When Zhao Haiyang tries to have her arrested for her capitalist background, she reveals that her parents had already publicly severed ties with her, leaving her independent. Furthermore, she produces a detailed ledger showing that Zhao Haiyang and his family had extorted nearly ten thousand yuan and numerous valuables from her over the years.

Jiang Jinwan demands the full repayment of all debts and threatens to donate the recovered assets to the military’s scientific research department if they are not returned. The political commissar, impressed by her righteousness and the potential funding, supports her claim. Zhao Haiyang is forced to agree to repay the money within a week, facing ruin if he fails. With the engagement broken and her reputation cleared, Jiang Jinwan is left without a protector in the hostile military environment. Zhou Yunpeng, Huo Zeting’s subordinate and a matchmaker at heart, sees an opportunity to pair the cold commander with the beautiful widow-to-be.

Despite her initial hesitation, Jiang Jinwan agrees to marry Huo Zeting, recognizing that a military marriage offers the best protection and stability in this era. Huo Zeting, though initially reluctant and insecure about his scarred face, is won over by her genuine acceptance and compliments. Their courtship is swift, and they are married within a week. Huo Zeting’s wealthy and influential family in Beijing decides to travel to Hainan for the wedding, causing a stir in the military compound. Jiang Jinwan, adapting quickly to her new life, chooses to work at Yuxi Farm as a veterinarian, utilizing her extensive knowledge and certifications from her past life to help the local agricultural team.

At the farm, Jiang Jinwan encounters a crisis when the pigs fall ill. The local veterinarian, Yu, misdiagnoses the condition as swine fever and prepares to cull the herd. Jiang Jinwan steps in, correctly identifying the illness as feed poisoning from moldy potatoes. She successfully treats the pigs using her knowledge and the healing properties of the spiritual water from her dimension, saving the livestock and exposing the incompetence of Veterinarian Yu. This victory establishes her value within the military district and marks the beginning of her rise from a displaced heiress to a respected and capable member of the community, all while navigating her growing relationship with Huo Zeting.
