Only after Lin Jingzhu awakens does she realize that she is merely a cannon-fodder supporting character meant to make the heroine shine, and that her entire family is a bunch of awful people.
Her grandmother is a notorious old harridan, fierce, stingy, and always looking to take advantage of others.
Her parents are intent on exploiting the heroine, their adopted daughter, treating her like a workhorse and beating and berating her at the drop of a hat.
Her brother can’t find a wife, so he sets his sights on the heroine, a toad dreaming of eating a swan.
And she herself is a wicked woman who envies the heroine, does every kind of evil, and even drugs her.
Jingzhu is speechless. So there isn’t a single decent person in the whole family?
After awakening, Jingzhu just wants to live her own quiet life, keep her family away from the heroine and reform their ways, and lead them all toward a comfortable life.
But the plot won’t let her!
Whenever she sees the heroine, she can’t control her own body and desperately does everything she can to get herself killed.
She thinks she’ll just have to watch herself go further and further down the road to ruin. But unexpectedly, the man she spent one passionate night with can save her from disaster.
She assumes that after their one-night fling, they’ll never see each other again. But unexpectedly, he refuses to let her go.
"Lin Jingzhu, you’re not going to pull up your pants and pretend nothing happened, are you?"
Lin Jingzhu: "My mother loves money, and your family background isn’t good. She won’t agree to this."
Su Wang: "I can bring the betrothal gifts and marry into your family."
Lin Jingzhu thinks he’s joking, but it turns out he’s serious.
"I’m strong and healthy, and I’ve got plenty of energy. Once I’m part of your family, I’ll do whatever you say. You won’t have to work at all. I can keep you plump and happy."
Lin Jingzhu has to admit, that offer is tempting!
It's okay. You can read it in Shuhuang
