After the Rough-Hewn Man Proposed, the Gentle Educated Youth Took Off

(1970s + feel-good revenge + gossip watching: a genuinely satisfying story where the heroine never lets herself be wronged and settles scores the same day)

After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Yue becomes the book’s most infuriating cannon-fodder character. She knows the original owner was so clueless because the heroine, Yun Chan, had a universal-admiration aura. The female cannon fodder’s lack of brains is no big deal; stirring up trouble, getting hit with face-slapping comeuppance, and meeting a miserable end is the real classic plot.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yue transmigrated at the wrong time. Her innocence has already been taken, and she has already made an enemy of the heroine. There’s no way she can just give up and laze around; she can only start by breaking the heroine’s universal-admiration aura.

As she watches the main characters turn on one another, the hero and heroine split up and get back together, the supporting heroine bravely takes her place in the spotlight, the supporting male lead’s reputation spectacularly collapses, and the other cannon fodder scramble to flatter her, Jiang Yue can finally take it easy.

Who knew she would overdo it? Not only did the supporting characters escape the aura’s influence, but even the restrictions on heroine Yun Chan were removed.

Yun Chan: “I was wrong before. From now on, I’ll follow you.”

After transmigrating, is it really okay to recruit the heroine as a sidekick?

Then Jiang Yue discovers that the heroine is also a transmigrator being forced to follow the plot. Fine, then: two transmigrators join forces to build their careers.

She also happens to win over a future tycoon as her husband. Life is perfect.
