Su Mu transmigrates into the melodramatic period novel she stayed up late reading last night, becoming the wife of a cannon-fodder simp. From the start, her rival sister-in-law throws foot-washing water on her.
The two exchange a secret signal, and it turns out her best friend, Chen Yanning, has transmigrated too.
In the original story, they both die horribly and unfairly, reduced to stepping stones on the male and female leads’ road to love. Su Mu makes up her mind at once: save money, get divorced, and run away. She’ll stay far away from anyone connected to the female lead, including her current husband.
Let them simp for whoever they want. Handsome men are everywhere, and she doesn’t need two dogs.
But things don’t go according to plan. Shen Jichuan suddenly stops being cold. He cooks, does the laundry, and draws bathwater for her. The man who used to ignore his wife now spends every day hovering around her. Shen Qingyang stops being a flirt too, constantly saying, “Wifey, you smell so good,” and “Wifey, I can’t reach.” He clings to her like a piece of chewing gum that won’t come off.
The two brothers are clingier than each other, and harder to shake off by the day.
Su Mu slams her cleaver onto the cutting board. “Don’t stop me. I’m getting this divorce, no matter what.”
Chen Yanning pats her belly. “I’m taking the baby and leaving too. Who needs a man anyway?”
Mother Shen quietly packs her things. “If my daughter-in-law is leaving, I’m going too. I’ll help you raise the kids.”
Shen Qingyang howls so loudly the whole courtyard can hear him. “Brother! Our family’s gone!”
