Tong Leyan transmigrates into a book! She becomes the pathetic female supporting character everyone can push around!
And the heroine is her younger sister.
According to the plot, she is a one-dimensional oddball. She obeys the heroine without question, gets humiliated and used, is despised by her husband, and eventually ends up divorced and miserable.
Her younger sister just hides behind the scenes and laughs, pretending to help her only so people will praise her for being kind.
And the worst part is, she isn't the only oddball in the book. Her whole family is full of them... Her eldest brother is a male chauvinist, her second brother is an ingrate, and her third sister is sickly.
As for Tong Leyan, she starts out abandoned by her husband... All of it is meant to make the heroine's “happy life” look even better.
Tong Leyan: ...Does someone really have this much free time...?
But reality is harsh, and she isn't allowed to lie flat. So the moment she opens her eyes, she has to find a way out!
She promptly dumps the useless man. Since she can't go back, she'll rewrite this rotten script herself and turn a losing hand into a winning one, so everyone waiting to laugh at her can see who really ends up miserable.
The people around her snicker. Who would want a discarded wife like Tong Leyan?
But then, Tong Leyan turns around and marries an officer.
Everyone: So what? Three kids. Isn't being their stepmother just being a servant?
No one knows how the cold, taciturn Shen Tian Sui treasures her, cradling her jade-like feet as if they were priceless.
Everyone: Shen Tian Sui has no connections. He'll never amount to anything! Tong Leyan has a tiny waist and small hips, so she can't have children! They're just using each other!
But after Tong Leyan marries Shen Tian Sui, he rises swiftly through the ranks. And she proves fertile, having one child after another, each of them cherished.
Yet Shen Tian Sui treasures his beloved wife most of all, pampering her as if she were the most precious person in the world!
