You're the Villain, I'm the Psycho: Slay Monsters, Get Rich, and Raise the Kids

[No pocket dimension, no golden finger]

When Jiang Si'er opens her eyes, the man who's been living in her heart is holding her with red-rimmed eyes. “Stop liking that pretty boy. Could you like me instead?”

After waking from a deep sleep, Jiang Si'er discovers that she's transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s, as a lovesick, ill-fated supporting character who shares her name. Her fake parents abuse her, her real parents don't care for her, and they even sell her to Gu Yu, the roughest man in the village. Who knew Gu Yu would turn out to be the most evil and twisted villain in the whole book?

Jiang Si'er looks at the man kneeling before her and serving her grapes. “Would you ever hit me?”

Gu Yu: “I don't understand. Come here, wife.”

No one believes Jiang Si'er and Gu Yu will make it, but their life together just keeps getting better. They build a big house, get into university, and return to the village with kids in tow.

Jiang Si'er waves her hand. “We'll build a road here and a school over there...”
