Tang Li dies suddenly after staying up all night and transmigrates into a period novel about a stepmother. She becomes the male lead’s deceased second wife, a character who exists only in other people’s passing remarks: a pure background character destined to be cannon fodder.
First, she has a father who favors sons over daughters; then there’s a hypocritical stepmother. Her aunt keeps urging her to marry the original male lead and become stepmother to his two children.
Remembering the suffocating life the original heroine led after marrying into the male lead’s family, Tang Li shudders and immediately decides that whoever wants to marry him can go ahead. She absolutely will not be anyone’s stepmother!
But after refusing the original male lead, does that leave her with no choice but to go to the countryside?
There’s no helping it. Just as Tang Li is preparing to accept her fate and head to the countryside, an eccentric old lady from the military compound comes to see her…
“That young man is handsome, six-foot-two, and has never dated anyone! He’s twenty-five and an up-and-coming officer stationed on an island!”
“He’s coming to Rongcheng to visit family this week. Meet him, and I’m sure you two will hit it off!”
After much thought, Tang Li grits her teeth and goes to meet him. To her surprise, they get married in a whirlwind wedding. It’s not until she steps onto the beach on the island that she realizes: she’s really married?
