Reborn as the Eldest Sister, I Help the Villain’s Family Make Money

Gu Wan opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into a melodramatic period novel, as the eldest daughter of the Gu family, a household of villains where everyone is wicked. She's a lovesick, expendable supporting character who drags her entire family to their doom.

The original Gu Wan had been so desperate to please the male lead that she sold out her parents and younger siblings, only to die a miserable death on a farm. No one in the Gu family met a good end, either. She wakes up facing a deadly standoff with her family's enemies and immediately tears up the lovesick script, kicking the original leads' plotline to the curb.

Other people who transmigrate into books hurry to redeem the villainous family. Gu Wan refuses. She doesn't erase their dark past or force them to act stupid. Instead, she channels the guts, ruthlessness, and cunning in the bones of the Gu family's tough characters into making money. Her gambling father's risk-taking becomes the business courage to travel far and wide. Her sharp-tongued mother's silver tongue turns into a knack for negotiating deals everywhere. Her unruly younger siblings each discover their talents and become capable of standing on their own.

With a pocket dimension at her disposal, she both stockpiles goods and farms. Starting with a little vegetable stall at the village entrance, she gradually turns the villainous family everyone once avoided into a household everyone envies. No one gets to bully her people or stand in her way. Anyone who tries will get a sharp tongue-lashing.

The stern man who returned to his hometown after leaving the military had only meant to watch the family from afar as they stirred up trouble. But before he knew it, watching them had cost him his whole life, and he had given it to this clear-eyed, fiercely protective young woman. She only wanted to lead a peaceful life with her family, but somehow ended up becoming the brightest legend of the era.
