After Getting Rich, My Deceased Husband Returned

Description

Xu Shuyue wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor village girl. Her parents died early, and her aunt sold her off for three taels of silver to marry into another family as a “lucky bride.”

Her groom? The eldest son of the Qi family, Qi Siming, who joined the army three years ago and hasn’t been heard from for six months.

The Qi family believed that marrying their unlucky son to someone equally “unlucky” would cancel out their bad fortune. And who was the unluckiest girl in the area? None other than Xu Shuyue, who was rumored to have “cursed her parents to death.”

So, Xu Shuyue ended up marrying… a rooster, in place of the absent groom.

But on the day of the wedding, news arrived: Qi Siming had died in battle.

The festive wedding quickly turned into a funeral. Not wanting to waste the money spent, the Qi family insisted on a ghost marriage, officially marrying Xu Shuyue to their deceased son.

Xu Shuyue, now stuck in this strange situation, thought: Fine. A wife is a wife, whether the husband is alive or not. I’ll just make the most of it.

Luckily, her in-laws were wealthy and owned several fertile fields. Since she was now part of the Qi family, she figured, Marry a man, eat his food. The man’s dead, but I’ll still eat.

Soon after, Xu Shuyue began managing the fields and even cleared the barren land to plant oranges, apples, and watermelons.

When the harvests grew larger than they could handle, she turned the farm into an agricultural tourism hotspot, where visitors could pick fruit, barbecue, and relax. Nobles and officials came from miles away just to enjoy the experience.

As her wealth grew, she renovated the house into a grand estate, even adding guesthouses and hot springs to attract scholars to drink tea and compose poetry.

One day, her mother-in-law tearfully held Xu Shuyue’s hand and said, “My child, you’ve worked so hard these years. It’s time for you to remarry.”

Just as Xu Shuyue was about to politely refuse, someone came running with shocking news: “Qi Siming is alive! He’s returned as a general and is coming home!”

Xu Shuyue: “???”

Now completely flustered, Xu Shuyue thought: How do I deal with a husband I’ve never met and who’s supposed to be dead?

Qi Siming, tall, handsome, and full of heroic energy, arrived and gently said to her, “You’ve suffered all these years. From now on, I’ll make sure you live a life of comfort, free from hardship.”

Xu Shuyue, dripping in gold and wearing silk, awkwardly replied, “…T-thank you… but honestly, life hasn’t been that hard. I got so tired of eating pork knuckles yesterday I couldn’t finish them.”

I loved this story!!!!! It was a fast paced transmigration with a very cool MC. She rises until we meet the ML and then their sweetness is so much fun! It’s pretty short and I was literally craving more but I would definitely suggest reading this. I know others may have not liked the pace, but it was never boring, and I couldn’t put it down. The plot and the characters overall were perfect for a short novel as well. 10/10 if you have an hour or two... read it!!!

Summary is misleading; ML surviving is known relatively early on in the plot, so there's no mention of remarriage.

Story starts off alright, good pacing and a sensible, not OP FL, but about maybe a quarter of the way in, the plot moves at break-neck speed, turning into a cluster of summaries and what's essentially jump-cuts.

Good development between FL and in-laws, hardly anything brewing with FL and ML before they magically develop feelings.

The parallel universe extra story got more depth and development than the main story.

Great translation and translator notes.

Short and sweet I love it. This is one of those novels where I wished it was longer. The summary was a bit misleading since there was no talk of remarriage.

Spoiler

The least favourite part about this was the last chapter, I was so invested in it that I wanted them to release more chapters of the parallel universe story.
