[Transmigrate Into a Book + Household Infighting + Political Schemes + Protagonist's Growth Arc + 1v1 + Devoted Love]
"The female lead slacks off at first and grows slowly, but later she'll grow and level up alongside the male lead."
After working overtime for days on end, Zou Ying dies at her desk. When she opens her eyes, she discovers she's transmigrated into a deranged book called The Marquis's Wife's Guide, as its heroine, who shares her name.
In the deranged book, the heroine is the ultimate do-gooder. Whether at her birth family or her husband's, she wakes up ready to forgive everyone and everything. In the end, the only ones left hurting are the readers.
Before Zou Ying can even figure out what's going on, she discovers that the vicious younger sister, the villainess, has been reborn.
The younger sister is scheming to dump her own short-lived husband on Zou Ying, while plotting to steal her marriage into the marquis's household.
Then she discovers that the scheming, white-lotus beauty has also been reborn and wants to steal her marriage into the marquis's household!
Zou Ying: He's just an old man. What's there to fight over? Whoever wants him can have him.
In her previous life, she worked herself to the bone until she dropped dead on the job. In this life, these reborn women can fight among themselves while she enjoys a few carefree days.
Just then, her sister's short-lived husband suddenly shows up to propose, saying he wants to marry her.
Zou Ying: Hey, are you kidding me? You're about to go to war and become a wandering ghost. Can you stop dragging me into this?
What? The Emperor personally ordered the marriage, so it can't be called off?
If she can't call it off, then she'll break that short-lived man's legs first so he can't go to war!
Short-Lived Husband: Madam, what are you afraid of? Worst comes to worst, we'll rebel!
Zou Ying: R-Rebel? I suppose that's not out of the question!
