[Space] [Villainess Revenge] [Food] [Transmigrate into a Book: Female Lead vs. Reborn Female Lead]
Xia Miaoyi is a modern-day food blogger with tens of millions of followers on a short-video platform. Even her cooking videos easily rack up millions of likes.
Perhaps Heaven couldn't stand to see her enjoying life so much. On her way to livestream from the countryside, an electric scooter ran a red light. She swerved to avoid it, but slammed into a tree and died on the spot.
When she woke up, she had transmigrated into a book, and not just any character: she was the cannon-fodder supporting female character who died very early in the story!
Because the original owner was engaged to the male lead, she had moved into his home at a young age to manage household affairs and care for his elders. She even dragged her own family into the role of supporting him financially.
But as soon as the male lead passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he turned his back on her. He wanted to marry the daughter of a local teacher, who was also the female lead, and make the original owner his concubine. She agreed, and that was the beginning of her tragic fate.
The male and female leads lived in perfect harmony, with the female lead supporting him in his studies, while his official career flourished until he reached the third rank.
The original owner, meanwhile, was treated like a servant. She did the laundry and cooking, and had no status at all. Once the male lead's position rose, her very existence became a stain on his reputation, so he ended her life with a cup of poisoned wine. Her family sought justice, but his influence ensured their efforts came to nothing. Her family met the same fate as she did.
When she read the book, she had felt so sorry for the original owner. She had been the legitimate first wife, yet the male lead had climbed the social ladder and made her a concubine. After wringing every last bit of value from her, he had taken her life.
Now that she has transmigrated into the book, Xia Miaoyi just wants to stay away from the male and female leads and give her family a good life. But if they insist on coming over to make trouble, she'll play along.
But why is the male supporting character, who was supposed to die early just like her, steadily climbing the ranks?
Xia Miaoyi: I'm not ready to be an official's wife yet!
The Grand Secretary: My dear, sit tight and hold on!
