After getting drunk at her birthday party, Liu Qingqing wakes up to discover she has transmigrated into a book.
She has become the cannon-fodder supporting female character in a period novel her best friend recently recommended.
And it’s the day after her wedding night: the original host enjoyed herself, and now Liu Qingqing has to suffer the consequences.
In the book, the original host is not only a bit dim, but also hopelessly lovesick.
She likes He Songming, an educated youth sent down to the countryside, and secretly steals food from her family to give him so they can be together.
But He Songming doesn’t like her at all. He’s been using her the whole time.
She also discovers that the heroine, Yang Manzhi, has been exploiting her under the pretense of acting on He Songming’s behalf, and even schemed to nearly ruin her virtue.
In a fit of anger, she marries Zhou Shu, the village’s notorious, grim-faced, rugged man.
Everyone feels sorry for him and mocks him for picking up a “discarded woman.”
But he alone knows he’s struck gold.

Liu Qingqing: “Why were you willing to marry me back then?”
Zhou Shu: “Because you’re Liu Qingqing.”
Liu Qingqing: “???”
Liu Qingqing stayed in the hospital for a week and was discharged. Back home, the man Zhou Shu (Zhou Mucheng) took care of her every step of the way during her confinement period. Li Damei and Jia Guixiang also often sent home some good things. A month passed like this, and the two took their children and boarded the train back to the provincial capital. "Mom, go back!" Liu Qingqing shouted from the car window to Li Mei who was standing on the platform. "Hey, have a safe trip!" Li Mei reluctantly waved goodbye to her. Then there was a roar, and the train started, slowly moving forward...
