Transmigrated into a Scorned Daughter, Taming My Delinquent Husband into a Tycoon

Yang Yiyang, a ruthless sales director from 2026 Shenzhen, dies in a hit-and-run orchestrated by her betrayed boss and is reborn in 1976 China as a woman with the same name. The original host was a abused daughter sold by her parasitic family to a violent ruffian, Jiang Zihao, for a thousand-yuan bride price. On her wedding day, she is pushed by her father-in-law, Jiang Heda, and falls, sustaining a fatal head injury. Yang Yiyang awakens in the body, discovering her new husband is weak and kind-hearted, while his mother is also beaten and unconscious. She immediately takes charge, navigating a hostile environment where her in-laws demand the return of the bride price and her own family refuses to acknowledge her.

The core conflict centers on survival and financial autonomy. The Jiang family patriarch, furious that his savings were stolen by his second wife to fund the marriage, seeks to beat both women to death or force them to return the money. Yang Yiyang outmaneuvers the situation by involving the police, the Street Office, and the Women’s Federation. Through sharp negotiation, she secures a two-hundred-yuan dowry, which she cleverly has placed under the custody of the Women’s Federation rather than handing it to her abusive in-laws. This ensures she retains control over her funds, a critical asset in a time of extreme poverty.

A pivotal turning point occurs when Yang Yiyang discovers she has brought a spatial dimension from her previous life. It contains a single bedroom from her luxury apartment, equipped with modern amenities like hot water and a preserved wardrobe. She uses this space to hide her possessions, including a suitcase full of hair accessories, jewelry, and textiles, which she plans to sell as startup capital. This supernatural advantage provides her with the means to escape destitution, though she must keep it secret from her suspicious in-laws and the nosy hospital environment.

Yang Yiyang also begins to reform her husband and mother-in-law, who are psychologically broken by years of abuse. She educates Jiang Zihao on marital property rights and self-worth, encouraging him to stop his thuggish activities and seek legitimate work. She helps his mother realize that her sacrifices were unappreciated and that she deserves respect. Together, the three form a fragile alliance against the Jiang family patriarch and his other sons, who view them as burdens and thieves.

The story follows their struggle to establish independence. After recovering in the hospital, they face the threat of being cast out by the Jiang family. Yang Yiyang prepares to use her hidden assets to rent a place and start a small business, leveraging her modern knowledge and the goods from her spatial dimension. The narrative sets the stage for her rise from a abused bride in 1976 to a self-sufficient woman, fighting against a patriarchal system that seeks to keep her subservient and poor.
