[1970s setting + Everyday family life + A touch of ensemble cast]
[A calculating, self-serving beauty vs. a cold, sinister villain who later goes mad with love and fights tooth and nail to claim her]
Fu Wanwan, a mermaid zombie, transmigrates into a book, landing in a novel set in a bygone era.
She becomes the male lead’s ultimate devoted fan.
Just how devoted? After the male lead rejects her again and again, the original Fu Wanwan refuses to give up. She volunteers to take her stepsister’s place and marry the male lead’s fifth older brother, just so she can stay close to the male lead and see him every day.
But Su Yanci, the male lead’s fifth older brother, is no good guy either. He’s ruthless, vicious, and vindictive, the biggest villain in the book.
After marrying into the Su family, the original Fu Wanwan hears that Su Yanci bullied the male lead. She starts tormenting the villain in every way she can, determined to ruin him.
The villain hates her just as much and wants to divorce her.
Fu Wanwan, who has transmigrated into the book: “...”
The mess the original left behind is a real mess, but she can handle it.
As for divorcing the villain now? Hmph, no way.
The villain will become incredibly rich in the future and bankrupt every company owned by the protagonist’s gang. Even if she does divorce him, she’ll wait until he’s at the height of his success, then take a bigger share and become a rich woman.

The thing is, Fu Wanwan discovers that every member of the Su family is a weirdo.
Her father-in-law is an ugly womanizer who loves playing the repentant rake.
Her sharp-tongued sister-in-law loves taking advantage of people.
Her sixth sister-in-law is pregnant and still making a scene by threatening to jump into a river.
Her mother-in-law fell off a cliff when she was young and has been suffering from amnesia ever since.
So beautiful! 🤩 So beautiful! 🤩
It's very well written and a very enjoyable read. The female lead's mother-in-law is wonderful, but she gets even more powerful later on, with all the daughters-in-law uniting as a "female revenge alliance"—it's so satisfying!
