Reborn as the Wicked Ex-Wife, I Use the System to Raise a Mad Young Marshal

[Transmigrate into a book, fictional Republican-era setting, indulgent wish-fulfillment, powerful leads, business, face-slapping, sweet romance.]

In one fateful moment, Xu Luxi transmigrates into a Republican-era novel as the wicked ex-wife, a disposable villain destined for a tragic end.

In the original story, the male lead is born with a fate that brings death to his wives. A fortune-teller claims his destiny is so powerful that no one can withstand it without suffering a backlash, and that he must find the one truly destined for him.

So the original owner of Xu Luxi's body tries to defy fate. She bribes the fortune-teller to lie about her destiny, then marries into the marshal's household, rising to power overnight.

But she abuses her supposed destiny to act as she pleases, making plenty of enemies and constantly beating, scolding, and tormenting the male lead.

Later, the true female lead appears, the truth comes out, and the male lead divorces and casts her aside, sending her to a nunnery to fend for herself.

That very night, an enemy she had offended takes revenge and sends her to her grave.

When Xu Luxi wakes in this world, she sees the male lead kneeling before her and feels the still-hot whip in her hand. Her vision goes black.

Looking at all the goods in the System shop, she decides to make money and run away as soon as possible.

So she opens shops and builds factories. Clothes, perfume, lipstick, and cosmetics fly off the shelves, selling out in no time.

The young marshal needs money and supplies for his army?

Xu Luxi: Consider it done.

Crates of silver dollars, all kinds of canned meat, and winter clothes are shipped to the front lines.

The front lines are short on medicine, and casualties are mounting?

Xu Luxi: Penicillin, antibiotics, anesthetics. Which do you need?

But when the day finally comes for her to run away, things take an unexpected turn.

A group of soldiers kneel before her, crying their eyes out as they say, "Madam, we can't live without you!"

The young marshal holds a strip of white silk and hangs it from a beam. "Go ahead and leave. They'll collect my body, then come down to join me."

Xu Luxi: "..."
