Tomorrow's Wasa House: Listening to Book 638

Su Xiaoyan transmigrates into a book and becomes a stunning cannon-fodder character in a period novel, sold to a tyrant by her scumbag father and stepmother.

Determined to change her fate, she hacks through her door in the middle of the night, escapes aboard a southbound coal train, and heads for the man betrothed to her in the original story: a “honest, shy fellow who hands over his entire salary.”

At the mining district, Su Xiaoyan wears a red camisole and gazes up at the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted hunk in a black tank top, with his potent masculine charm. In a sweet voice, she asks, “I’m your fiancée. Are you going to take care of me or not?”

Cheng Jingming, the mining district’s ruthless big shot who never goes near women, looks at the glowing, fair-skinned little vixen before him. His Adam’s apple bobs wildly. Without changing expression, he swallows the words “I’m not” and answers hoarsely, “I will.”

After they marry, Su Xiaoyan sets up a food stall and uses her extraordinary cooking skills to make the whole city crave her flaky meat pies and secret-recipe braised dishes. She makes so much money her hands cramp from counting it.

But gradually, she notices something is wrong.

The book said the male supporting character was shy, so why is this man as domineering as a wolf every night?

The book said the male supporting character had a little money, so why does the bankbook he hands over have a terrifying number of zeroes?

Then one day, the genuinely honest male supporting character comes knocking, only for her husband to kick him flying and warn him coldly, “You’re asking for death if you dare covet my wife!”

Su Xiaoyan clutches her aching waist, close to tears: Help!

How did I end up with the most terrifying villainous big shot in the whole book?!?!
