After dying of happiness, Qin Yutong transmigrates into a book as the original male lead’s fiancée, destined to marry him and raise his son by another woman.
Recalling the original plot, Qin Yutong finds a righteous but short-lived husband who is fated to die in two years, then successfully marries him through negotiation.
The price: helping him raise three poor young nephews who are being abused.
The upside: in two years, she’ll be a wealthy matriarch of a prominent household, with money and free time, and no husband.

Meng Yuzhou discovers he can suddenly hear Qin Yutong’s thoughts.
He hears her call him her short-lived husband over and over, gleefully anticipating his death so she can lie flat and enjoy the good life.
Two years pass. Looking at Meng Yuzhou, who shows no sign of dying, Qin Yutong wonders if she remembered the plot wrong.
Meng Yuzhou leans close and wheedles, “You’re so good at raising children, my dear. How about having one of our own to raise?”
Qin Yutong refuses. Qin Yutong runs away.
No! She came here to lie flat, not to raise children. She won’t even raise a twenty-three-year-old baby.
