[Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted chubby wife x frail, handsome scholar]
After transmigrating into the role of a vicious, fat wife in the 1980s, Li Zhaodi is a fool from the start, used by her mother-in-law as a pawn.
She believes her mother-in-law's provocations and torments her frail husband, convinced he's a useless burden who lives on medicine. Then her mother-in-law uses her as a shield, making her the laughingstock of the whole village. In the end, she dies of cold and hunger on a straw mat in a shabby house on a snowy night.
Even worse, the original character is the foil to the female lead in the book. She spends her whole life in the shadow of the “virtuous heroine,” reduced to a stepping stone who makes the other woman shine!
After arriving in this world, Li Zhaodi looks at the bare-walled shack, her sickly husband coughing his lungs out, and her mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law waiting eagerly to see her make a fool of herself. All she wants to say is: Whoever wants to be cannon fodder can do it. I'm done putting up with this!
Luckily, she comes with a [Fate-Reversing Editing] System. Can't change the words? Then she'll change a punctuation mark and defy fate!
[Freeze and starve to death.]→ [Freeze and starve to death?]
The very next second, her frail husband comes in and offers her half a bowl of watery sweet potato leaf porridge, so thin she can see her reflection in it. “Are... are you hungry?”
From then on, Li Zhaodi sees the light. She tears into her wicked mother-in-law, kicks her parasitic brother-in-law to the curb, and refuses to be the heroine's foil!
She loses weight, gets beautiful, builds a career, and helps her sickly husband escape poverty;
She digs into the mystery of her own origins and turns the original story's hero and heroine into stepping stones instead;
From a chaotic little village courtyard to an entrepreneurial wave that changes the times, Li Zhaodi tears through life!
She thinks she's saving her frail husband, never knowing that the man she quietly protects has long been making a safe haven for her.
