(1970s setting + family life + marriage first, love later + face-slapping and trash-taking)
Jiang Yi transmigrates into a book, becoming the heroine, a hopeless romantic who has been abused until there’s nothing left of her.
The original owner is utterly devoted to Xu Chi, the male lead. Even after he secretly has a child with the woman he still loves just a year into their marriage,
she not only refuses to divorce the scumbag, but tries to win him back and passes off his illegitimate child as her own.
But Xu Chi never breaks things off with his old flame. They have one bastard after another, six in total, and dump them all on Jiang Yi to raise!
The original owner spends her whole life slaving for the Xu family. After raising seven bastards, she is kicked out of the house in her old age and starves to death.
Jiang Yi had been so infuriated by this novel that she died of a heart attack, and never expected to transmigrate into the spineless heroine.
But she’s no pushover like the original owner. She refuses to take a raw deal, and she can write, dance, and take on the whole family!
When the scumbag and his mistress keep having babies, she broadcasts the news for the whole world to hear.
After a glorious divorce, her life takes off.
Later, her ex-husband comes begging to get back together, tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Yi, now remarried and doted on by everyone, hasn’t even had a chance to respond when her powerful new husband beats Xu Chi until he’s crawling on the ground.
Her in-laws even go to the Xu family to demand an explanation, cursing Xu Chi, the homewrecker, until he loses every shred of dignity.
Jiang Yi’s husband twists the knife by sending Xu Chi a pennant thanking him for divorcing her all those years ago. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to marry such a wonderful wife.
Jiang Yi: Didn’t this powerful man say they were only using each other when he married her? How did he not only fall for her, but get his whole family to dote on her, too?!
