She bonds with her rapist and that family later in the book despite the fact that they destroyed her looks deprived her of educational opportunities and did nothing to stop the human traffickers that kidnapped and sold her.

When she does finally reunite with her family she shows complete disinterest. There's lots of reactions but hers is off the wall. Especially since parts of the family treat her as a thief looking to grab family property.

In Chapter 423, Jiang Ran talks about what happened. It isn't translated perfectly because this was pulled from an MTL, but this is a direct quote:

The Pei family never considered her as a child bride. Yes, she was removed from her education, but that was because they couldn't afford it. Heck, Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan also dropped out of school early even though they are the biological children of Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan. And can I just remind you that everyone was afraid of OG Jiang Ran and gave her free reign? OG Jiang Ran bullied everyone and they let her, so they did not "mistreat" her.

This is another quote pulled from Chapter 425 about Wang Cuilan's POV:

Wang Cuilan bought Jiang Ran from the child traffickers out of concern for her. In the modern-day, we could call the police but do you think they could have done that in a rural village in the 80s. This would have probably been the only solution they could think of. They bought her and yes, this is considered human trafficking. But, what would happen to a cute little girl? There are a lot of creeps in this world and human trafficking still exists. It has always existed and I hate to say it, but it probably always will in some way or another. There were a lot worse outcomes that could have happened to Jiang Ran and Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan probably thought of those. They SAVED that child and gave her a life.

He didn't want to get married to her before leaving for college. He wanted to marry her after he graduated from college. OG Jiang Ran forced him to marry her, it's written earlier in the book.

The reason she shows disinterest in her blood-related family is because she is not OG Jiang Ran. She has no relation to the Jiang Family other than genetics. Also, they're all selfish and greedy people who did not care about her at all.

the MC has supreme "Chinese" medical skill, can cook and design clothes that no one can ever make, easily got red of poverty and become supper rich then bought a courtyard in the capital and continues to become more rich.

it has the same problem with other novels, everyone around the MC is overly depending on her to succeed and there is no rivals at all

something that usually bothers me in most of rebirth in the past novels not only this one, there is no competition, the MCs always succeed easily, no matter what they do people will accept it and buy it no matter the price. if what the MC makes is totally out of the era how can people accept it easily and if it could be made why can't others duplicate it or create something better.

Most of the chinese MCs usually "borrow" other people's stuff, I don't think I have read about any MC creating something original or work hard to develop what they have without cheat. even if it's original why can't it be remade since it could be made in the first place. usa was the first to develop nuclear power but it's not the only one now. same as other stuff but in most chinese novels I read characters lack creativity.. or brains, even the MC is nothing most of the time without cheat or plot armor

The writer talked later a lot about how good and nice the original owner was when she was a child but such a kid became like that when she grew up, I can only blame the people and environment around her, even if the writer try to justify their actions later.

Also with the personality of the ml, his family shouldn't be able to force him marrying someone he doesn't like. even if we say he is forced, he should hate the MC and look for divorce by all means but no, the moment he saw the beautiful MC who can make money, his so called feelings and hatred dissipated in mere seconds and he turned into a loving husband and father... really.. I'm speechless

his so called love and faithfulness is no more than a joke in my eyes, no matter how I look at it I only see him as a greedy hypocrite, wasn't it mentioned that he married his love after divorcing the ofl.. yeah I know that wasn't his true love it's just a spare tire love

I don't mind people with different past love experiences (not cheaters, sc*mbags or people who maintain ambiguous relationship with several partners at the same time), it's hard to find your true partner but they should be responsible for their own actions and respect their partners at least

The MC looks like someone with a strong personality. She refuses to have any relationship with the family of oFL and this pretty normal with this setting as they are considered strangers and except for the grandpa no one has shown any enthusiasm for her return when they first knew about her existence and since she can make money and don't need them, things developed naturally

But what is the h*ll is her problem with ML, the OFL became the one in wrong because he is the ML and can't be Wrong? she decided to stay with him because the child needs a father? that sc*mbag didn't even see his child one time since he was born for 4 years

if the writer wanted the plot to move the way it's, he/she should have changed the sittings not just treat it as 2d world so everything is fine and can be changed with few words. yes in reality many females prefer to get in relations with sc*mbags whether because they think they are cool or have the illusion that they are the chosen ones who can change them with the power of 'love' but too bad they tend to get disappointed or even badly hurt later as human nature isn't that easy to change.

REASONS BEHIND OG BODY BEING A CHILD BRIDE:

The ml's family didn't buy og body as a child bride for their own selfish reasons. They went to see her, and she was scared and so thin, that they felt pity for her. They didn't have money, then they worked hard to earn money to buy her from those traffickers. They loved her instantly, that's why they bought saved her from them. You can say why they didn't call the police. Because they're so poor and weak. And not everyone has the courage to be hero. And they're just powerless, you can't blame them for that. They can't fight powerful crime association.

And you can't disagree with the fact that they treated Og body way better than how real abducted child are treated. She didn't have to be s*x worker or do hard works and treated like a sh*t which real victims faced. If ML family didn't buy her, what she would face was scary to even think about.

Secondly, now coming to education, you all are blaming ML parents for not giving her the chance to study. But you guys keep forgetting that they're poor. And they can only afford one child to study and that's their son. As he can earn money and send it back. I'm not saying Og body can't earn money. But at that time only few women can get education and job. And they also didn't send their other two child to study as they don't have money.

You all are saying, ML is unfaithful. How can he cheat? Why everyone disliked og body? But you guys, just know none like a bad-mannered person who only abuse others. Don't tell me, you all love those who bad mouths you all day? You can't, like that those people also can't. Now coming to Ml, he didn't wanna marry og body. It was her who forced him and drugged him to marry and impregnant her. None likes to do things without their will. Now, you tell me you'll like that person, who schemed against you, impregnant you and marry you with deceit? No right? None could.

If you could do all these then you're a saint out of the world. Anyway, my point is this is a very good novel of childcare. MC cooking, making money, raising her family. It's pretty much of a slice of life. Which is very enjoyable if you like this type of genre.

I felt very pity for the og MC who suffered because of those f*cking traffickers. Poor og MC. Hope she gets happy in her next life.

Please read the whole novel before giving low ratings, readers. For this, Translators stopped translating the novel. All reasons are explained in the later part of the story. Please read before you speak.

I also agree with @Aquarius173 review. She said things on point. You shouldn't drop this novel for seeing bad reviews.

The ML, her instahusband, is the creepiest SOB in the history of Chinese literature. His appearances in the first 100-200 chapters were really spoiling the pleasure of reading this novel. He is a victim of his life circumstances, of his parents and his adopted sister slash wife, of the rural customs of his era, of course, and not once, bit twice he is presented with a wife that does not love him or even want him or anything of his at all - the original and the transmigrated FL. Sometime by the middle of the novel he begins to change and behave better, in a more manly way, no longer suppressed by the unbearable guilt of missing the first four years of his marriage and the first three of his son's life, being guilty of horrendous neglect, only sending money dutifully while he was studying and working thousands of miles away from them to pay for his own education and to support his family and parents in the village. Now he is more free and having his own choices, so there is hope for him. But not for the FL so far. She is not feminine in the normal C-novel sense. She is more of an oberbearing CEO male character type, a business mogul in the making. At the same time she is very down to earth, cooking and sewing clothes and shoes, for their large family and for sale, doing huge amounts of manual labor.

I have nothing to say about the original girl in the book into which the FL transmigrated. She is another author's fantasy about China of the 1950s-1960s and this rural setting with their medieval customs and she is very contradictory and probably mentally ill, from PTSD as she was kidnapped and human trafficked and SOLD as an item or an animal, or as*ave, to depression as she was unable to go to school in the village and had to work and regress, resentful and revengeful that the ML as a boy got preferential treatment, the dirt poor family pooled their resources for him, so he went to school and qualified to go to university. So the OG forced that boy to marry her before college and forced him to have s*x with her and got pregnant on their wedding night. Out of spite. And later on she had postpartum depression, eating disorder and a completely warped personality, abusive and mean. She was a fantasy of the other author and a designated villain cannon fodder who reared an incorrigible villain child.

I cannot really judge anyone from the og past, her and her adoptive parents included, because we haven't read that other book, and this book begins with the transmigrated woman taking over and everyone in the family behaves beautifully, very loving, caring and supportive, letting her be the de facto head of the family.

I do not see the peasant adoptive parents as sinners or villains (because they paid money to the human traffickers to release/free the girl but not returned her to the authorities or to her family in the 1960s cultural revolution and the worst famine in history era China) at all. There is no original novel text to judge all circumstances and in this novel nothing is said about it so far. But we know from this novel that the original's wealthy biological parents were not looking for her after the abduction and were not seeking the reunion years later either.

Just want to quote this from C303

"Not only that, but because they didn't let the original owner go to school, they felt owed to the original owner and allowed the original owner to bully them.

Being nice to the people of the Pei family can be considered a repayment of gratitude. "

"At that time, there was actually no money in the family, and the trafficker wanted to take you away, I couldn't bear it! I couldn't bear you to go with her, I was afraid that you would be wronged again, so I bite the bullet. I gritted my teeth, worked hard, and took out everything I could at home, and finally I bought you."
