The Cannon Fodder's Comeback: A Simpleminded Wife and Her Mute Husband Build a Better Life

Jiang Yue, an overworked office drone who died suddenly after pulling an all-nighter, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the body of a dim-witted village bride in the countryside of the 1980s. Her husband is mute, her father-in-law is paralyzed, and her mother-in-law is the village “bringer of bad luck,” the kind everyone avoids. And she’s a fool herself. Their home is bare, they have just 43.7 yuan in savings and 230 yuan in debt. It’s a nightmare from the start. Worse, in three months her husband will be crippled in an accident at the brickworks, and the family will be plunged into ruin. The System tells her that if she helps the cannon-fodder male lead’s family turn their lives around, she can go home. Jiang Yue rolls up her sleeves, ready to get to work, only to discover that the fire that destroyed the family, the seventeen years of blame her mother-in-law has endured, her husband’s damaged voice, and her father-in-law’s shattered legs all have something to do with the village chief’s smug younger brother. And her dazzling younger female cousin is the heroine of the original novel. With her father the village chief backing her up, the heroine transmigrates into this era and breezes through life with her father’s support and modern knowledge, as if she had cheat codes! When the fool stops staying silent, when the bringer of bad luck refuses to endure mistreatment, and when the mute finally speaks, this family, crushed by fate, will take back everything they lost, with interest.
