Synopsis

[1970s + female supporting character awakens + face-slapping and scum-tormenting + System + military marriage]

Su Zhaoyuan is bright and beautiful, and adored by everyone. But in a period romance novel, she's a love-struck female supporting character controlled by the plot.

The heroine is her cousin, Su Routang, and the hero is her fiancé, Gu Lisong.

Su Zhaoyuan's whole family are stepping stones for the hero and heroine.

When her cousin needs a job, she listens to her fiancé and gives her newly earned position to her cousin, then signs up to go to the countryside as an educated youth.

After arriving in the countryside, a hooligan ruins her reputation, and she's cruelly jilted.

Then her cousin turns around and gets together with Gu Lisong.

Su Zhaoyuan insists on returning to the city. Her family exhausts themselves trying to help, spending money and ration coupons and calling in favors, only to be swindled out of everything.

Later, Su Zhaoyuan gets into university. On the train back to the city with her acceptance letter, she's kidnapped and sold into a remote mountain village, where she remains until she's rescued seven years later.

After Su Zhaoyuan is rescued and returns to the city, she discovers that her cousin took her place at university. Her parents, second older brother, and younger brother have all died, leaving her utterly alone and miserable.

The jade bangle her mother left her has also been stolen. It becomes the first capital her cousin uses to make her fortune.

Su Zhaoyuan awakens to her own will and resents the fact that the hero and heroine's glorious future was built on the bones of her family. So she takes them down with her.

Then she is reborn, this time with a System.

Now Su Zhaoyuan has set her sights on Gu Jinye, the hero's older half-brother.

In her previous life, after Gu Jinye retired from the military due to injury, he became a police officer and rescued her from the mountain village.

Sadly, he died in the line of duty at a young age, and the connections and resources he left behind all went to Gu Lisong. He was nothing but a tool of a male supporting character.

Su Zhaoyuan thinks that if those things are going to benefit someone, they might as well benefit her instead of the hero and heroine.

Overall, the plot, logic, and character development are clear and well-defined, and the relationships between characters are logically sound. It is a highly accomplished novel. The novel doesn't have a strong sense of date; its central focus is on the female protagonist's rebirth and revenge.

Aside from taking the money, there wasn't much real abuse of the scumbags; they were only dealt with all at the very end! The female lead is the darling of the group! Live your life to the fullest. The male lead has very little screen time; he's either on a mission or on his way to one!

It's great. The female lead is clear-headed and does everything she can to protect her family. She shows no mercy to the scumbags, is courageous and resourceful, and believes that good people will be rewarded. The female lead's love of doing good deeds is truly heartwarming. Her decision to acknowledge her great-uncle for work is really adorable.

I loved the novel's content 💕💕💕💕. The live narration was also fantastic 👍👍👍. The voice actors were all very pleasant to listen to. Unlike some novels where the live narration is terrible despite the good content.

The female protagonist is incredibly lucky; whatever she wants, she has the connections to get it. Want a job? A retired veteran is about to retire. Need to solidify relationships? She immediately saves the neighborhood chief's child. Want money? An autistic child uses his knowledge to help her earn money and buy a house. Want to befriend a teacher? The teacher's lost daughter becomes her friend.
