Wen Ye transmigrated into a book, becoming a vicious supporting character who wouldn’t survive more than three episodes!
She remembered that in the original novel, she was a disposable character who married Gu Linyuan, a marquis with crippled legs and no heirs.
Meanwhile, the heroine, Wen Qinghuan, married Gu Xiuyuan, the male lead and second son of the marquis’s household. With the heroine’s unparalleled good fortune on his side, Gu Xiuyuan not only inherited the marquis’s century-old legacy, but also purged corrupt officials and became the most powerful minister in the Great Qi Empire.
As for the original owner, all she did as the vicious supporting character was trip up the heroine every day and try every trick in the book to seduce Gu Xiuyuan. In the end, the marquis, despite his crippled legs, poisoned her with a gut-wrenching toxin, and she died vomiting blood from every orifice.
Just thinking about it made Wen Ye’s stomach cramp.
She’d wanted to bash her head in on the spot. Losing her job was bad enough! Why did she have to get stuck with a disposable-character script too?
Just as she picked up a rope to hang herself, her old bastard of a father came to her with gold and jewels, asking her to marry into the marquis’s household and steal a military tally.
The sight of all that treasure nearly blinded Wen Ye. This… this was more than she could earn in a lifetime as an overworked wage slave.
She readily agreed, and promptly forgot everything her old bastard of a father had said.
What was the big deal about marrying a man with crippled legs who couldn’t have children?
She’d do it! Being the marquis’s wife was a secure, lifelong position!
Wen Ye’s whole outlook changed in an instant. If she stopped making a spectacle of herself and snatched the heroine’s opportunities, she’d be unstoppable!
