Song Yuanxi transmigrated into a period novel as the doomed first wife of a powerful, beautiful, pampered man.
In the book, she was arrogant and ambitious, trying to marry into a higher station, but was forced to wed a notorious local thug.
After they married, she was mean and snobbish. She even cheated on the thug, and in the end, she died miserably on the street.
The moment Song Yuanxi opened her eyes, she found herself in the big shot's bed. Blinded by desire, she pounced on him.
The next morning, the big shot's widowed mother, who would die young, carried in a chicken with a knowing smile. “Yuanxi, Qinian's a rough sort, so last night must have been hard on you. This old hen will help you build up your strength.”
The big shot's young nephew, also destined to die early, offered her some wild eggs he'd collected, looking reluctant to part with them. “These eggs will help you get your strength back, Auntie. I hope you give the Shen family a child soon.”
Song Yuanxi stared blankly at the shabby house with its leaking roof, packed her things, and left without hesitation.
Who knew the big shot would be hooked? He blocked her way and pulled a set of keys from a snakeskin sack. “I bought a plot of land and built fifty apartment buildings. You'll be the landlady of all fifty. Still want to leave?”
Song Yuanxi quietly put away her spinning sweep kick. “...I suppose staying isn't out of the question.”
The heroine is a bit too infatuated and has lost herself. She doesn't like men-centered things.
