[Military marriage + joining her husband at his post + period drama + taking down scumbags + transmigrate into a book + a cannon-fodder first wife turns her life around + devoted husband + both are each other's first]
Lin Yue, a medical student from the 21st century, transmigrates into a period novel as the cannon-fodder first wife who dies a miserable death.
The book describes her as a vicious villainess who kicks any dog that crosses her path.
She's incredibly stupid, willingly lets the villain's whole family bleed her dry, and even helps count the money after they've sold her off.
She causes trouble every day, schemes her way into marrying an army officer, then spends her days crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening to hang herself. She beats her husband badly enough to land him in the hospital and offends the entire military compound, until he finally abandons her.
On her miserable journey back to her parents' home, bandits stab her. Her family takes all her money and leaves her to fend for herself. In the end, Lin Yue dies from blood loss...
Lin Yue refuses to accept it. Why should she be a cannon fodder? She won't follow the plot obediently. She's going to change her fate...
As the villain family's target, she uses her personal space to take all their wealth, leaving them with nothing. Then she hits them with a one-two punch and lets them see how cruel the world can be...
A penniless little nobody in this era, Lin Yue swears she'll make something of herself. She starts by setting up a street stall, but how does making a little pocket money turn into getting rich overnight?
As the cannon-fodder first wife, she's always ready to get a divorce...
But her husband won't hear of it.
Her husband: “Lin Yue, want a divorce? Only over my dead body!”

A little scene: Outside Captain Gu's home, Captain Gu is huffing and puffing as he does the laundry while Lin Yue lounges in a rocking chair, cracking sunflower seeds. A passerby stares in disbelief. “Captain Gu, your wife is way too lazy!”
Gu Huaize: “You don't think cracking sunflower seeds is tiring for my wife?”
Passerby: “???”
