Lu Yuying transmigrated into a book as the villain's original wife.
According to the plot, all she had to do was dutifully play the role of a gold-digging wife for three years, then divorce Huo Jingshen as soon as he went bankrupt, and she'd be free to leave.
But just as the story reached its final step, the System ran away.
Worse still, the major villain, who was supposed to suffer humiliation, turn dark and seek revenge, then rise to the top again, was lying in bed refusing to eat or drink, looking ready to starve himself to death.
Lu Yuying had no choice but to step in herself.
“Mr. Huo, stop lying there. Keep it up and you'll grow mushrooms.”
She hauled him out of bed, got him a computer, found him a job, taught him to take the subway, and even helped investigate the mastermind behind it all.
Everyone thought she still had feelings for Huo Jingshen.
Lu Yuying explained earnestly, “I just can't stand by when someone needs help.”
Later, Huo Jingshen successfully avenged himself and once again became the business tycoon everyone feared.
Lu Yuying handed him the divorce papers. “Mr. Huo, you've made a comeback. It's time for us to go our separate ways.”
Huo Jingshen tore up the papers, his gaze dark and intense.
“Lu Yuying, have you forgotten...”
“When I hit rock bottom, you were the one who took me in.”
“Once you've taken me in, don't even think about throwing me away again.”
