[Military Marriage + Transmigrate into a Book + Love Grows Over Time + Pocket Dimension + Rugged Officer VS. Charming Capitalist Heiress]
Ning Xiyuan was a pretty, charming young woman. After graduating from college, she couldn't find a suitable job, but her looks unexpectedly landed her the lead role in a short drama. Then, thanks to a ridiculous stroke of luck, she became an overnight sensation. One night, while staying up late to read a script, she suddenly died and transmigrated into it.
The drama was adapted from a novel. She wasn't the heroine, but the second female lead, a side character meant to contrast with the capitalist's ugly daughter. Ning Xiyuan was unhappy about it, but the money convinced her to compromise.
In the book, she and the heroine were foils for each other. She was a beautiful, flirtatious airhead who could be provoked into impulsive decisions by a few words from her stepmother. She refused to marry the army officer and insisted on marrying some so-called rich young master instead.
In this era, she was still dreaming of marrying a young master? This supporting female character really had no brains. What happened next was only to be expected. Her attempt to marry the so-called young master offended the officer, and she met a miserable end. Abandoned by everyone, she died of illness in the countryside. As it turned out, the so-called young master was actually the butler's son. The real young master had long since fled to Hong Kong.
The heroine, meanwhile, took the supporting character's place, fulfilled the engagement, and married the officer. Their married life was blissful.
Once Ning Xiyuan realized she had transmigrated into a novel, she refused to follow its plot. She was done being a capitalist heiress. She would honor the engagement and join the army instead.
Her stepmother was beside herself when she saw her stepdaughter about to marry the officer. But her own useless daughter refused to marry anyone but the young master, even going so far as to threaten a hunger strike.
At first, the officer was also opposed to the engagement. But after spending time with her, he realized his prejudice had been misplaced. This heiress was simply wonderful.
