[Period setting, transmigration into a book + face-slapping + married first and fall in love later]
Gu Zhenzhen, a middle-school teacher, stayed up late reading a period novel. The male lead’s wife shared her name, but was nothing more than a disposable character.
The male lead was so outstanding that he attracted romantic trouble without even trying.
The unlucky original owner was tricked and sold into the mountains, where she eventually jumped off a cliff and died.
Not long after she disappeared, the male lead met the heroine. The two joined forces, became successful in their careers, and enjoyed a happy marriage. They were the perfect winners in life.
Enraged, Gu Zhenzhen gave the book a one-star review, only to find herself transformed into the unlucky original owner in the blink of an eye.
Faced with an imminent kidnapping, Gu Zhenzhen turns the tables, sending the “friend” who plotted against the original owner to prison along with the human traffickers.
When her in-laws try to bleed her dry, Gu Zhenzhen simply splits from the family!
The male lead isn’t home anyway, so she can just shut the door and enjoy her own little life. What could be better?
Unfortunately, her carefree “single” life comes to an abrupt end one day when the male lead she’d long since forgotten comes home!
Gu Zhenzhen: The sky is falling!!!
Faced with the unfamiliar male lead and his intimidating presence, Gu Zhenzhen prepares herself mentally.
She’ll just treat him like a partner she shares a home with. If she doesn’t want to continue, she can leave whenever she likes.
In the days that follow, Gu Zhenzhen eats well, earns money, and admires the male lead’s good looks when she has time. Life isn’t so bad after all?
Who knew the plot of the book would have already gone completely off the rails?
The heroine appears, but the male lead coldly tells her to go away.
Yet at home, he plays all kinds of games with Gu Zhenzhen, flirting, acting coy, getting jealous, and seducing her, pulling out every trick in the book.
Gu Zhenzhen refuses to play along, and the male lead grits his teeth in frustration.
“I want to start a relationship with you, so I’ll just take that as a yes!”
