Transmigrate into a Book, Dump the Phoenix Man, and Marry the Ice-Cold Factory Director

[Alternate-history setting + pocket dimension + marriage first, love later + career + everyday life]

[Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine and pharmaceuticals + aloof, scheming factory director]

Xia Anruo, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and pharmacist from the twentieth century, falls into the sea in a skydiving accident. When she opens her eyes, she has become the early-deceased ex-wife of the male lead in a male-oriented novel. Every female character in the book is willing to become a stepping stone for the male lead as he climbs to the top. He’s a textbook case of a man who marries into wealth and rises to power by living off his wife’s family...

Xia Anruo isn’t that noble. “Instead of helping a husband reach the summit, I’d rather climb it myself.” The peacock of a male lead can go to whoever wants him. First, she needs to stay alive. Maybe she can find a male side character, and two negatives will make a positive?

At the matchmaking meeting--

Xia Anruo: “I need to find someone to marry, and so do you. Let’s make a deal...”

Lu Jingmo: “Once I’m married, I won’t walk away lightly...”

Xia Anruo: “You don’t have to get divorced.” (Thinking: If you survive that long...)

Just as Lu Jingmo was about to speak, the door was shoved open...

She switches matchmaking partners. Xia Anruo has no interest in the plot’s hero and heroine. In her world, she’s the protagonist and everyone else is a supporting character.

This is the perfect era to build a career. She’s returning to her old profession, and if anyone dares bring up “abolishing medicine and keeping only the drugs” again, she’ll slap them across the face...
