[Period setting + transmigrates into a book + foil character + disabled tycoon + feel-good wish fulfillment + sweet romance]
An energetic, sunny girl versus a disabled tycoon who is anything but abstinent and gets jealous easily.
Xu Can transmigrates into a period novel as the doomed female foil. The moment she opens her eyes, she is caught in bed with her brother-in-law.
In the original story, her mother remarried, making her the foil to her stepfather’s niece.
To push the male and female leads’ romance forward, the original Xu Can is forcibly made stupid enough to seduce her brother-in-law.
With her reputation ruined, she has no choice but to go to the countryside.
Bullied there, she gives birth to a child whose father is unknown, then jumps down a well to kill herself.
Xu Can sees stars. She really has drawn the short straw.
After cleaning up the mess, Xu Can quickly packs her things and finds herself a job that provides room and board.
The first step to staying alive: keep away from the male and female leads.

Huo Renzhou is injured on a mission, leaving both his legs disabled and forcing him into a wheelchair.
He grows gloomy and violent, intent on dying.
He drives away every caregiver his family hires,
until he meets Xu Can.
Xu Can neither treats him like a disabled person nor even like a person.
When she buys groceries, she does not have to carry them in her hands: she can put them on Huo Renzhou’s lap.
When she goes to line up for a sale, she does not have to wait herself: she just parks Huo Renzhou in the queue, saving time and effort.
To hold on to her iron rice bowl, Xu Can works diligently and conscientiously.
~
The male and female leads look down on Xu Can.
The hero says, “She must be up to some trick to get my attention again.”
That is, until he sees Huo Renzhou, old enough to be his grandfather, rise from his wheelchair, pull Xu Can into his arms, and say with red eyes and a wounded expression:
“Please don’t leave me, okay?”
The male and female leads: “! Xu Can’s become our grandma?”
(The hero’s legs will recover. The early story focuses on their warm, healing relationship; later, the heroine throws herself into building her career.)
