[Pure Romance] + [Strong Female Lead] + [Household Intrigue] + [Power Struggles]
Workaholic Ye Jiajia wakes up in a book as a cannon-fodder supporting character who doesn’t survive past chapter three.
From the start, she’s forced into a marriage in someone else’s place. Her husband is the marquis’s famously sickly “doomed man,” and everyone expects her to become a widow. Looking at this nightmare of a plot, Ye Jiajia fights back with KPIs and performance reviews: “Husband, if you want to stay alive, you’ll have to work hard with me!”
She takes on her mother-in-law, cuts ties with her birth family, and builds a career, making modern marketing work wonders. But why does her supposedly frail husband, who can’t even lift a finger, stride steadily while carrying her over the threshold, and use even harsher tactics than she does against their enemies?
Then, at a flower-viewing banquet, the original male lead kicks at her, and her “too frail to care for himself” husband crushes the man’s foot bones in one hand.
