[Transmigrate into a book + both leads are each other’s only one + marriage before love + devoted love + pocket dimension] [Entirely fictional setting]
Glamorous, money-loving actress VS stern-faced, home-loving military officer
A bit-part actress in short dramas transmigrates into a period novel as the male lead’s vicious, money-grubbing ex-wife, a disposable cannon-fodder character?
Su Manjiao opened her eyes and laughed in disbelief!
In the original story, the male lead was injured in the line of duty and needed time to recover. He remembered he had a wife back in his hometown, whom he’d married a year ago and met only once, so he called and asked her to come take care of him. The original owner refused: “It wasn’t enough that you left me to live like a widow. Now you’re disabled and want to drag me down with you? Dream on!”
As it turned out, the male lead’s injury left him with no disability. With the female lead’s care, he returned to his unit, earned a promotion, and turned out to be the Commander's long-lost youngest son.
The original owner regretted it too late and tried to repair their relationship, but the male lead laid out every one of her cruel deeds in meticulous detail:
She’d bullied her parents-in-law, beaten her sister-in-law, mistreated her brother-in-law, and secretly kept a lover! She’d blown all the hundred yuan sent home every month!
In the end, she was swiftly written out of the story on charges of illicit relations.
Su Manjiao didn’t want to wind up in jail and face a firing squad, so before the male lead was injured, she hurried over to win his favor, using every bit of her acting ability to play a devoted, capable wife.
She worked hard to respect her parents-in-law and be kind to her younger siblings. When her lover showed up, she reported him to the authorities. When the female lead arrived, she stepped aside. All she wanted was to ask for a divorce and part on good terms.
But the cold-faced man’s eyes turned red. “Wifey, I’ll give you the five yuan I have left over every month. Please be nice to me, okay?”
Su Manjiao panicked. “I’m already falling behind on filming. How am I supposed to find time for you?”
