[Historical romance + palace intrigue and household drama + on-screen comments + awakened supporting villainess + sinister, possessive regent]
For five years after marrying into the Lu family, Shen Qingwan worked herself to the bone, toiling day and night. Her family's distillery alone kept the Lus afloat after they were exiled to the northwestern frontier.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, the Lu family received an amnesty and was allowed to return to the capital. To help her husband reenter court, her mother-in-law forced her to raise one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Just as she was at her wit's end and preparing to sell the Shen family's generations-old distillery and brewing recipes, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before her eyes.
[This is that poor, wicked supporting villainess, hahaha! She's racking her brains for money over here, while the male lead is kissing the heroine, his one true love, so passionately next door that they're practically glued together!]
[Honestly, the supporting villainess is such a hopeless romantic. The Lu family killed her parents, and she doesn't even realize that the heroine and the male lead are canoodling right under her nose. No wonder she ends up having her identity stolen by the heroine, then dies a miserable death as someone's plaything.]
Only then did Shen Qingwan learn that she was merely an early-death villainess in a book, whose identity would be stolen by the heroine.
Her husband and sister-in-law were in love and carrying on behind her back.
Yet her husband would give her away to someone else as a plaything, and she would die miserably.
Her sister-in-law would assume her identity, take the money she had raised, and elope with her husband.
After seeing the comments, Shen Qingwan declared that she would not sell the distillery. As for the Lu family, she would make them pay for their blood debts!
