She Married For Three Years Yet Remain A Virgin; After Remarrying A Rough-and-Ready Man, She had Several Children

Jiang Fusheng, a celebrated culinary expert from the twenty-first century, awakens in the body of Jiang Laidi, a fictional character from a 1980s novel. In the original story, Laidi was a disposable supporting character who was married to Qian Weidong for three years solely to absorb her family's good fortune. Once Qian Weidong secured a lucrative partnership and became wealthy, his family fabricated a infertility claim to divorce Laidi and cast her out. Humiliated and abused by her own family, who viewed her as a failure for not producing an heir, the original Laidi attempted suicide but was rescued by the Xiao family, a formidable lineage known for their physical strength and hunting skills. Upon realizing her situation, Jiang Fusheng decides to alter her fate by immediately proposing marriage to Xiao Changhe, the taciturn and imposing eldest son of the Xiao family, to secure protection and a new identity.

Xiao Changhe, initially skeptical and stoic, is surprised by Laidi’s boldness and unconventional approach. Despite his reserved nature, he agrees to the marriage after witnessing her determination and the genuine danger she faces from her predatory birth family. Jiang Fusheng brings no dowry but offers five hundred yuan extracted from her parents as her contribution, establishing a dynamic where she relies on the Xiao family’s protection while contributing financially. The Xiao family, particularly Mother Xiao, welcomes her warmly, offering her a gold bracelet that serves as a family heirloom. This gesture marks Jiang Fusheng’s official integration into the Xiao household, distinguishing her from the neglectful treatment she received from her biological parents.

Shortly after her marriage, Jiang Fusheng discovers that the gold bracelet contains a modern kitchen management system named 007. The system allows her to redeem items such as appliances, tools, and ingredients using points earned by completing various tasks. These tasks range from mundane chores to bizarre challenges, such as performing a dance routine or kissing someone within a time limit. The system becomes a crucial tool for Jiang Fusheng, enabling her to improve her living conditions and gain leverage in her new environment. Her first major task involves a romantic interaction with Xiao Changhe, which she navigates using her modern social skills and acting abilities, further deepening their bond.

Conflict arises when Jiang Fusheng’s father, Jiang Fu, and mother, Chen Shuying, attempt to reclaim her. They had previously sold her to the Qian family for profit and later tried to sell her again to an elderly man for twenty yuan. Upon learning she had married into the powerful Xiao family, they resort to sabotage, dumping dead rats into the Xiao family’s cornfield to ruin their crops. Jiang Fusheng uncovers the plot with the help of a young village girl and confronts her parents. She uses psychological tactics and the threat of legal consequences to force her father to pay compensation, successfully defending her new family’s interests and severing ties with her abusive relatives.

The tension escalates when Jiang Wuren, a local rascal and cousin of Jiang Fusheng, leads a group to vandalize the Xiao residence in retaliation. Jiang Fusheng defends her home with a broom until Xiao Changhe returns, leading to a confrontation that highlights the protective nature of her new husband and mother-in-law. Jiang Fusheng manipulates the situation to portray herself as a victim of slander, turning the villagers against Jiang Wuren and his accomplices. Through these events, Jiang Fusheng establishes herself as a capable and resilient member of the Xiao family, using her modern knowledge and the system’s advantages to navigate the challenges of the 1980s rural setting while building a genuine relationship with Xiao Changhe.
