Rebirth in the 80s: Became a Stepmother and Pampered by My Husband
They gave her ruins. She built a home.
After a brutal betrayal by her boyfriend and best friend ends in a fatal accident, Qin Lian wakes up inside a novel — as the fake daughter of the Qin family.
Discarded overnight after the real daughter returns, she is forced to swap engagements and marry a rumored old pig farmer from the countryside who already has three children.
Everyone mocks her fate.
“Wasn’t she the arrogant spoiled brat of the Qin family? Look at her now.”
“She stole Mu Rouyu’s life for years. This ending suits her perfectly.”
“Married to an old man with three children? Her life is finished.”
They expect Qin Lian to spend the rest of her life buried in mud and regret — becoming a vicious stepmother trapped in a loveless marriage while Mu Rouyu takes back everything that should have belonged to her.
But the moment Qin Lian steps into that village… the story begins changing.
Because the rumored old pig farmer is not old at all, but a dangerously handsome former soldier with broad shoulders, a cold face, and eyes that soften only for his wife.
The children who were supposed to fear her slowly begin clinging to her side.
The miserable life everyone expected never comes.
Instead, while others wait for Qin Lian to fail, she quietly rises higher and higher — building businesses, earning wealth, and becoming someone even influential figures cannot ignore.
And the people who once mocked her?
They can only watch in disbelief as the discarded fake daughter becomes the most successful person among them all.
Meanwhile, Mu Rouyu slowly realizes something she never expected.
Even after taking back her identity…
she still cannot win against Qin Lian.
Especially when the man once meant to stand beside Mu Rouyu can’t stop looking at Qin Lian instead.
But Qin Lian no longer cares about the people who betrayed her once before.
This time, she won’t beg for love.
She won’t fight for approval.
And she certainly won’t lose.
Because while they were waiting for her life to fall apart…
Qin Lian was already building a life everyone else could only envy.
.....Excerpt......
“Rouyu, your fiancé treats you so well.”
“No wonder so many girls envy you and Officer Lin.”
Surrounded by flattering voices, Mu Rouyu smiled faintly and glanced at the gold ring inside the counter.
“Miss, this one is 380 yuan.”
Her fingers paused.
Too expensive.
The saleswoman’s smile faded slightly as she quietly placed the ring back down. Mu Rouyu’s expression stiffened.
Just then, the jewelry store doors opened.
“Mom! That necklace is beautiful!”
Mu Rouyu froze instantly.
Qin Lian walked in beneath the crystal lights, three beautiful children surrounding her while the tall man beside her carried a cold, imposing aura that instantly drew attention.
One of the girls whispered, stunned, “Who’s that man?”
“So handsome…”
Mu Rouyu’s fingers tightened.
Wasn’t Qin Lian supposed to be suffering in the countryside?
Qin Lian glanced at the necklace and shook her head lightly. “Forget it. It’s too expensive.”
“Wrap it,” the man beside her said calmly.
Qin Lian frowned. “Xu Yinchen.”
“If you like it, why not buy it?”
Then Mu Rouyu noticed something even worse.
Lin Chengyan wasn’t looking at her anymore.
His gaze was fixed entirely on Qin Lian, the regret in his eyes impossible to hide.
