A clear-headed heroine seeking revenge VS a devoted hero trying to win back his wife
After seven years away on campaign, the general returns with another woman.
Cui Cui recognizes this familiar plot and suddenly realizes she's transmigrated into a wife-chasing story where the husband must suffer to win her back.
Her best friend Tangtang is actually Fu Tang, the original wife who dies tragically in the story.
The woman the general brought back is no good: she takes control of the household, harms Fu Tang's child, and even forces Gu Yanzhi to choose between them! In the original story, Gu Yanzhi saves her child, causing Fu Tang to miscarry. Then she spreads rumors that Fu Tang has been unfaithful, leading Gu Yanzhi to imprison and beat her. In the end, the woman pierces Fu Tang's collarbone and drags her to her death through the snow.
But in reality, the child isn't Gu Yanzhi's at all.
When Gu Yanzhi finally learns the truth, he clutches Fu Tang's corpse and weeps in utter anguish.
But what good does that do? Fu Tang, the heroine, has already lost her life.
Knowing everything that will happen, Cui Cui hopes to save Fu Tang. She urges her again and again to leave Gu Yanzhi, but Fu Tang still follows the plot's path.
Yet when Gu Yanzhi dies, Cui Cui stares at Fu Tang in astonishment. Bestie, you've been handed a revenge story…
P.S. The heroine is clear-headed and doesn't lose herself in love; the hero is devoted and no scumbag.
This is an angst-heavy story.
