[Awakening + married first, love later + military family + romantic tension + sharp-tongued officer gives in, sweet romance with devoted leads!]
When Gu Xiaoxiao wakes up one day, she discovers she's become a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a novel about a dark-hearted female lead.
In the book, she's the real heiress who was switched at birth.
The fake heiress, the female lead, will stop at nothing, exploiting and betraying everyone as she fights her way to the top.
Controlled by the plot, the original Gu Xiaoxiao becomes the female lead's devoted lapdog, turning her back on her birth parents and betraying her husband, with her mind fixed on following the female lead.
As a result, her ending is utterly tragic. She gets pregnant and miscarries, her parents are murdered, her husband grows distant, and she eventually dies horribly in the street...
What an outrageous plot!
Gu Xiaoxiao is relieved that she's awakened ahead of time. The later events haven't unfolded yet, so there's still a chance to change things.
She strokes her pregnant belly and resolves to treat her in-laws and parents well, protect the family fortune, and cling to her military-officer husband's side.
Gu Xiaoxiao: “I'm pregnant.”
Lu Shuyan remains calm. “Is it mine?”
“I've only ever been with you.”
The man replies dismissively, “Oh? Then what about that college student?”
“???”
Looking at his devastatingly handsome face, she refuses to let go. “Darling, we'll be together forever.”
The man remains cold and distant.
Gu Xiaoxiao suspects her husband is in love with the original female lead.
She decides to give up and let him go.
Just as she's resigned herself to it and hands him the divorce papers,
Lu Shuyan turns livid and pulls her into his arms, whispering against her ear, “You're carrying my child and stole my heart. And you still want a divorce?”
