Chen Yiyue transmigrated into a book, a story about the imperial examinations, and became the male lead’s discarded wife, a cannon-fodder character who had been married to him for years without having children.
The male lead in the book was perfect in every way, except for his terrible taste.
He was handsome, eloquent, gentle, and courteous, yet somehow he had married a shrew.
Aside from her looks, she was good for nothing.
Lazy and greedy, childless after years of marriage, crude and vicious, and disrespectful to her in-laws.
In short, the better the male lead was, the worse she was.
When Chen Yiyue read the book, she thought it was a good thing he got rid of a wife like that. At last, he wouldn’t have to keep cleaning up her messes.
But then she became “her”…
A husband who’s that good at putting on an act is better off gone.
You took my dowry and got to live the good life. You took all the credit for a good reputation and left me with all the blame.
And you say we’ve been married for years without having children? We haven’t even consummated the marriage in three years. It would be a miracle if I could have a child.
Now, return every last bit of my dowry.
Since you can’t do the job, I’ll divorce you and find someone who can!
