Raising Kids with the Villain from a Period Novel

On her first day inside that period novel, Shen Chuxia looked at the three wailing babies on the kang, then at the dirt-walled house with nothing in it, and felt the world spin around her.

She had become Gu Beicheng's white moonlight, the villain in the book: a cannon-fodder supporting character who died after giving birth to triplets.

After losing her, Gu Beicheng raised the children alone, only to be battered by misfortune time and again. He eventually turned evil and became the story's biggest villain, meeting a tragic end.

Determined to change the fate of all five of them, Shen Chuxia rolled up her sleeves and resolved to lead the family toward prosperity.

She went to the black market, and Gu Beicheng quietly kept watch for her. She said she wanted to separate from the family, and he immediately drafted the paperwork. She wanted to start a factory, and he stayed up all night drawing plans for her…

Their lives grew brighter by the day. Her husband was gentle and considerate, and the three little ones were clever and adorable. Shen Chuxia almost thought she had completed her mission in this life with ease.

But could everything really go so smoothly?

One night, she happened to wake up and saw Gu Beicheng return from outside, his whole body radiating cold. His eyes held a chill and strangeness she had never seen before. In his hand was a document she had never seen, covered in lines of writing she couldn't understand.

Only then did Shen Chuxia suddenly remember that in the book, Gu Beicheng's descent into darkness seemed to have been caused by more than just the death of his “white moonlight.”

She forced down her pounding heart as overwhelming fear engulfed her.

Who, exactly, was this man who shared her bed and treated her with such tenderness?

What did he do every night?

And what was the secret that would ultimately drive him into the abyss?
