Transmigration + transmigration into a book + reborn + punishing scoundrels + face-slapping + sweet romance + love after marriage
An Ning transmigrates into the period novel she was reading and finds herself cast as a cannon-fodder supporting character.
This time, she decides to be the heroine herself and rewrite her fate.
Her husband, to whom she was engaged as a child, is certainly a catch. He's an army officer, too, so An Ning decides to hold on tight to this strong, dependable man.
“Our marriage is in name only. Your family background is bad.”
Lu Zhanting says this the first time they meet.
That doesn't matter. He's handsome, after all.
Lu Zhanting thinks the capitalist heiress he married is completely useless.
When her mother-in-law gives her a hard time for not knowing how to do housework, An Ning turns around and cooks dishes from all eight major Chinese culinary traditions, earning praise for food worthy of a state banquet.
When the reborn woman and the others try to denounce her, An Ning turns the tables, reciting Selected Works of Mao in front of everyone to prove that her thinking is progressive. Lu Zhanting is impressed.
She repeatedly saves lives, rescues the male lead, and establishes schools, while leaving the reborn woman utterly humiliated. Gradually, Lu Zhanting realizes just how important she has become to him.
She says, “Don't forget, ours is only a marriage in name!”
He shamelessly replies, “Who said that? I never did.”
