Name: The Deadbeat Couple
Author: Auntie Mantou

Synopsis

[Period Setting + Beloved by All + Transmigration into a Book]

Gu Tian, an overworked surgeon, pushes herself to the limit until she drops dead from exhaustion after taking a brief break and transmigrates into a book.

Only one thought remains in her mind: she swears she’ll never overwork herself again and wants nothing more than to lie flat in peace.

She happily marries He Qijun, the younger brother of the original heroine, who wants nothing more than to live off his parents. Together, they plan to make a career out of relying on their elders.

The original heroine, He Ronghao, has the protagonist’s halo and builds a business empire. Gu Tian clings tightly to the heroine’s coattails and is determined to stick to her path.

Her in-laws are soft-hearted, so she sweet-talks them into working hard while she invests.

Her parents dote on her like she’s their whole world, so she joins them in building their fortune.

Who could have guessed that her useless husband would get his act together and turn out to have plenty of potential? Gu Tian charges down the broad road to riches.

Looking for a Period Novel Like This. Please, Does One Exist?

Does anyone know a novel where the heroine transmigrates into a story set in a certain era? She has no storage space or any of that. She just happens to become the male lead's nanny, and not long afterward, they get together. I can't find this novel. The male lead is pretty rich and also owns an island.
