[1970s + Reborn + Period Piece + Pocket Dimension + Cannon-Fodder Female Lead]
Only after Shu Ning died did she learn that in her previous life, she had lived in a story set in a bygone era. But she was merely a cannon-fodder supporting woman who loved the male lead, devoted herself to him, yet could never win his love. Driven by vanity, she even traded the wooden pendant her mother had left her for a pair of crystal hair clips from the female lead. The female lead gained a pocket dimension thanks to that pendant, and from then on lived the life of a winner.
Shu Ning's only purpose was to serve as a stepping stone on the female lead's road to success and a happy life.
Shu Ning was so angry she laughed. So looking out for herself made her scheming and calculating? Wanting to study instead of going to work made her selfish and petty? Refusing to date the shiftless hoodlum in her brigade made her mean, ignorant, and contemptuous of others?
Whoever wants to be the cannon fodder can have the job. Shu Ning wasn't the same person she used to be. She was now Niohuru Shu Ning, and she had plenty of strength and means to deal with anyone who made her unhappy.
In her previous life, a bunch of ungrateful freeloaders ate and drank at her house. She worked at the factory all day, then came home and cooked for the whole family, handing over every last cent of her wages at the end of each month. And now they expected her to wash dishes, cook, do laundry, sweep, and serve the whole family again? Shu Ning ate all the meat in one sitting.
They wanted her job? Shu Ning sold it on the spot and pocketed the money.
They called her immoral and tried to force her into marriage? Shu Ning went and had her name added to the household register of the cannon-fodder second male lead's family.
