[Period setting + transmigrate into a book + mind-reading + satisfying story + doted-on heroine + marriage before love]
After dying suddenly from overwork, office worker Ye Fangfei transmigrated into the role of a military wife who was tormented to death by awful relatives in a period novel. Her aunt-in-law and sister-in-law teamed up to bully her as soon as she arrived. She was too exhausted to say a word, but inside her head she was letting loose:
[Good grief, how many firecrackers did this aunt-in-law eat? She never stops yapping! And Liu Wenjing is such a textbook white lotus, with some pretty advanced tricks. Too bad she ran into me, Niu Hulu Fangfei!]
Sun Xiuju, her timid mother-in-law, who had been ready to let everyone walk all over her, suddenly heard a voice in her mind and froze on the spot! She tentatively followed the instructions in the “inner voice” and talked back, scoring a complete victory!
From then on, Ye Fangfei began a low-key life, appearing aloof and antisocial while filling her mind with running commentary. Her honest, simple in-laws and sister-in-law became the ones who acted on her “overheard” thoughts.
[Ugh, this awful weather. If we don’t water the corn soon, it’ll dry up and die. Too bad my cheapskate father-in-law still wants to save a little on the water bill. He really lacks vision.] The next day, her father-in-law quietly hauled water to irrigate the fields, and they reaped a bumper harvest in autumn.
[Liu Wenjing wants to open a restaurant? Ha, she has no idea the real opportunity is wholesale clothing. Buy a batch of bell-bottoms at the Canton Fair and you can resell them for ten times the price.] Before long, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law became the county’s first “resellers.”
When her military officer husband, Shen Zhanxun, returned home after earning merit, he discovered that his family had divided their household and moved into a spacious tiled-roof house. His parents and younger sister were all shrewd and capable, while his “antisocial” wife had only given him a brief glance. Yet his whole family immediately rushed to bring him tea and water, obeying her every word.
Shen Zhanxun: ??? Who’s really in charge of this family?
