Su Man transmigrated into the body of Gu Hanting’s infamous gold-digging ex-wife.
The System told her: As long as you maintain the “cowardly, stupid, and troublesome” persona, you can make it to the ending and leave with the money.
So Su Man began her performance...
As for “cowardly”:
Gu Hanting approached with a cold expression. Su Man’s legs went weak, and she dropped to her knees, hugged his leg, and wailed, “Honey, I was wrong! Don’t kill me!”
Gu Hanting’s inner monologue: Is she so afraid of losing me? She must love me to the depths of her soul. She doesn’t even care about her dignity anymore.
As for “stupid”:
Su Man wanted to put Gu Hanting in his place, but accidentally served him a laxative instead of nourishing soup. She blinked at him with an innocent look.
Gu Hanting clutched his stomach and glared at her guileless face, grinding his teeth even as his heart inexplicably stirred: She’s the only person in the world who dares treat me this way. What a silly little thing. She’s kind of cute.
As for “troublesome”:
At three in the morning, Su Man insisted Gu Hanting buy her stinky tofu from the south of town to complete her task. When he refused, she threw a tantrum on the floor.
Gu Hanting got up with a dark expression and drove out to buy it. When he returned and saw Su Man eating with oil all over her mouth, he sighed helplessly: She’s only trying to get my attention. I’ll indulge her. What else can I do, divorce her?
Later, Su Man grew tired of acting, packed her bags, and prepared to run away.
But the high-and-mighty man blocked the doorway, his eyes red and his voice trembling. “Have you finished acting up? If you have, can you please love me a little?”
Su Man: ??? This isn’t how the script was supposed to go!
