Xu Muqiu wakes up to find herself inside a period novel she once read, as the ill-fated cannon-fodder villainess who shares her name.
Lazy and slovenly, hated by everyone; schemed against by her in-laws and bullied by her sisters-in-law; in the end, she covets wealth and plots against the male lead, meeting a tragic fate.
Looking at her husband, Lin Huaixiao, handsome to an absurd degree but branded a "hoodlum," Xu Muqiu takes a deep breath. "I'm not following this script!"
Her awful mother-in-law tries to steal the property deed? Xu Muqiu slaps her with the accusation of mistreating her stepson and makes her cough up the money!
Her manipulative sister-in-law tries to stir up trouble? Xu Muqiu hits back with such airtight logic that the girl questions her whole life!
Her sisters-in-law show off and brag? Xu Muqiu links arms with her husband and showers him with enough affection to feed the whole street!
Everyone mocks her: "Your husband is a useless good-for-nothing!"
Xu Muqiu sneers. "Useless? Just you wait. I'll spoil him into someone you'll never be able to reach!"
But then...
One night, Muqiu stares at the long row of digits in the passbook, far too many for this era, and gasps. Then she yells, "Lin Huaixiao, get back here!"
Lin Huaixiao looks innocently at his dear wife. "Honey, what's wrong?"
Muqiu widens her eyes, counts the digits in the passbook again, then looks up at Lin Huaixiao. "Sweetheart, is this passbook really yours???"
Lin Huaixiao: "..." Sweetheart, why don't you give me a kiss, then?
"It's mine."
Muqiu stares at his utterly calm expression as a herd of mud horses stampedes through her mind.
"This is our passbook. You hold on to it."
"It's mine."
Damn, damn, damn! Lin Huaixiao is such a show-off!
No way...
So what if she's starting a business? As a programming whiz, she's going to make a fortune in the 1990s too!!
