Li S usu transmigrates into a book and becomes the vicious supporting woman in a period novel, one who does not survive past chapter three.
To steal her billionaire husband, the novel’s heroine, who is also her older sister, tricks her into marrying an officer who is disabled and supposedly unable to have children.
Everyone in the military compound waits to see her become the laughingstock, expecting her disabled husband to beat her and leave her trapped in a loveless marriage for life.
But after the wedding, S usu is bewildered. The man rumored to be cruel and sinister treats her like a treasure.
He cooks for her, brings her water, hands over his entire salary, and even insists on sleeping on the floor. With the supplies in her storage space, she builds a thriving life and even gets into college, becoming the envy of everyone around her.
Meanwhile, the sister who stole everything from her is treated like a servant by her future husband, a wealthy young man who had gone to the countryside as an educated youth. His business loses money, his family despises her, and she becomes a complete failure.
The “cripple” everyone looks down on is actually a powerful man in disguise. He shelters her beneath his wing and gives her all the love she could want. At first, the man pushes her away with bloodshot eyes. “I can’t give you a future. Don’t be good to me.”
Later, he holds her tight in his arms. “Wife, my money, my body, my life: it’s all yours.”
Later still, he presses his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse. “Everyone says I’m not good enough for you, but I just want to meld you into my very bones. I’ll never let go, even in death.”
Then one day, she cannot stop throwing up. The man pulls her into his arms, his eyes red. “I thought I couldn’t have children! Whose is it?!”
