Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Dong Yunqing, or rather Dong Ping, curled the corners of her lips. This mission had finally found a clue.

Whether in her past life or this life, the original owner will become Mrs. Guo, which shows that the original owner's marriage is indeed with Guo Likai.

However, he died of illness in his previous life, but was poisoned in this life.

From this, Dong Ping can conclude that even if she lives a normal and healthy life until Guo Likai's triumphant return, she will ultimately only follow in the footsteps of the original owner.

The power of the Dong family and the good reputation they have maintained are not something that Dong Ping, a weak woman, can contend with.

However, while the Dong family in this life was indeed vicious, the Guo family parents' final acquiescence also chilled the original owner's heart.

Although the original owner's death was caused by the Dong family, Dong Yunqing ultimately usurped the praise and love that should have belonged to the original owner. Wasn't that also with the tacit approval of the Guo family parents?

Perhaps this tacit consent was tinged with helplessness, but in the end they chose silence, acceptance, and concealment.

Indeed, the original owner was foolish. When the Dong family sent people to pick her up and take her back to the Dong family, the silly girl thought that the Dong family in this life were trying to persuade her because they were afraid she would reveal the matter of being married in place of another.

Little did they know they harbored malicious intentions!

But the original owner died because of her own stupidity, which was one thing, but the tacit acceptance of Dong Yunqing usurping her place by Guo's parents made it even harder for her to let go.

The original owner asked himself, "In the past few years, I have been dutiful to my parents-in-law in the Guo family and worked hard to improve the Guo family's situation. Have I done anything wrong in doing so well?"

Since there was no wrongdoing, and after she was poisoned to death, the Dong family confessed to the substitution marriage and revealed the original owner's true identity. How could Guo's parents simply accept Dong Yunqing's identity without remembering any of the original owner's good qualities?

Just because the original owner was a courtesan, all the merits of sharing joys and sorrows over the years were erased.

So you just condoned Dong Yunqing's snobbish and materialistic behavior of usurping someone else's place?

The original owner felt that his two lives were a complete joke.

Just because she was born into a lowly family, Guo's parents could disregard the original owner's hard work and filial piety over the years, could ignore Dong's parents' efforts in finding someone to marry in her place, could...

Dong Ping placed her right hand on her heart, lowered her eyes, and said with a cold smile, "Dong Ping, don't worry. In this life, I will definitely protect your happiness."

What are the host's plans?

At this moment, the tiny figure, no bigger than the palm of a hand, perhaps to match the occasion, also changed into a bright red outfit.

Her long, dark hair was styled in a bun, adorned with a delicate pink double-petaled peach blossom.

She wore a light red silk narrow-sleeved inner garment over a bright red double-breasted short-sleeved top, paired with a peach-pink brocade strapless skirt embroidered with golden lotus patterns. At this moment, Yingying looked extremely festive.

"You could say Dong Ping died a stupid death in both her lives." Dong Ping chuckled and continued, "Perhaps it's also because she's somewhat insecure!"

Dong Ping smiled with some relief and said, "Luckily, you delivered it just in time."

“Whether I’m possessing a past life or this one, the timing is perfect.” Dong Ping said, playing with the love knot tied around her waist, “If it’s a mistake, it should be corrected from the beginning.”

[Host, you're not planning to run away from your wedding, are you?]

"Run away from the wedding? Only an idiot would run away from the wedding." Dong Ping rolled her eyes inelegantly.

"Since my official partner is Guo Likai, where am I supposed to find another chance to marry him after I ran away from the wedding?" Dong Ping said with a smile, "I'm going to be a dutiful and virtuous daughter-in-law! But the premise is..."

"I, as a good daughter-in-law, cannot follow in Dong Ping's footsteps. The key is indeed one's background!" Dong Ping couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants are ranked first, while merchants are ranked last.

Although the Dong family was a wealthy family in the city, they were ultimately merchants and, despite their wealth, they had no power.

Guo Likai, who returned in glory, was a sixth-rank centurion. Such honor was right before one's eyes; only a blind man wouldn't be envious.

Although Guo Likai and Dong Yunqing were betrothed since childhood, the Guo family and Dong Yunqing had never met since the Guo family's decline. Now that Dong Ping has married into the family, Guo's parents will not suspect anything.

When Guo Likai returns home in glory, it won't be difficult for the Dong family to replace the imposter, Tao'er. After all, Dong Ping is just a lowly person with no power. As long as they gain the approval of Guo's parents, Dong Yunling will still be Dong Yunqing, the Guo family's daughter-in-law—"Dong Yunqing".

But host, you cannot change your origins, so how can you guarantee your own safety...?

“People’s hearts are made of flesh and blood. I don’t believe that Guo’s parents don’t care about this daughter-in-law. It’s just that…” Dong Ping sighed deeply, “The hearts of parents are all the same.”

At that time, Dong Ping had already died, and the Dong family was willing to let Dong Yunqing come back to be Guo's daughter-in-law.

Guo's parents probably didn't want their son to return home in glory only to face the loss of his wife, or even be branded as a jinx.

Even if Guo's parents had feelings for Dong Ping, how could they compare to their own son's reputation and future?

Furthermore, although Guo's parents disliked the marriage arrangement and had some dissatisfaction with Dong Yunqing, it was undeniable that Dong Yunqing's background and appearance were impeccable compared to Dong Ping's. Although she came from a merchant family, she was also well-educated and courteous.

Dong Ping lifted her bright red veil and said with a bitter smile, "The deceased is gone. Even if Dong Yunqing had a thousand faults, her virtues outweigh her flaws. After all... the Dong family will not tell the truth that Dong Ping was poisoned by them. She just 'died by drowning' like in the first life."

"Then wouldn't you be...?" Yingying asked with some concern.

"Dong Ping's background is still incomparable to Dong Yunqing/Ling's." Dong Ping smiled indifferently and said, "Background is something that is fixed and can never be changed."

“But in the end, the Dong family dared to poison Dong Ping because she had no power, influence, or reputation, right? Of course!” Dong Ping said, rubbing her aching shoulders. “Power is something that is related to one’s background.”

“Ordinary women wouldn’t be interested in fame or fortune. But… what if I had money?” Dong Ping said with a smile, “With money, firstly, I could certainly ensure the Guo family’s safety and well-being in this society plagued by war and natural disasters. Secondly, money brings fame. Even if I couldn’t become the richest person in the country or the richest person in the city, at least in this situation, gaining a good reputation wouldn’t be a problem. It’s just a pity…”

Dong Ping shook her head helplessly and gave Yingying a cool glance: "My system... never mind."

Money is essential to save Dong Ping's life.

If she had the money, Dong Ping wouldn't have waited five years; she could have simply moved the Guo family to the capital.

The capital city is nothing like this small county town. No matter how wealthy and powerful the Dong family is in this county town, they are nothing in the capital city.

Of course, moving the whole family away is the most passive response.

If one were truly wealthy, there would be no need to go to such lengths.

From beginning to end, Dong Ping did nothing wrong. Why should someone who didn't even kill the wrong person have to leave their hometown because of the Dong family?
