Yang Nanxu transmigrated.
She ended up in the body of a pushover who had been hounded to death by rumors. Their personalities were worlds apart, so to avoid arousing suspicion, she traveled a thousand miles to find the original owner's fiance, only to learn that he had already married and had children.
Afraid she would cause a scene, her fiance's family quickly found her a scholar to marry.
The scholar, Wen Jingheng, seemed to be a respectable man of letters, but after getting to know him, Yang Nanxu discovered that he was a thug to the core!
On the third day after their wedding, Wen Jingheng's childhood sweetheart came to visit, and Yang Nanxu suddenly remembered: she had transmigrated into a book.
Wen Jingheng was the ruthless, bloodthirsty villain who stirred up chaos in the story! She was now his doomed former wife, a cannon-fodder character who died young, not even worthy of a name! According to the original plot, she wouldn't live six months.
To hell with being cannon fodder!
She set out to live life on her own terms, building herself up from nothing. From a roadside stall to a storefront, from a single shop to becoming famous across half the city, she made her mark in the field she was good at, while always staying ready to run in case the villain dragged her down with him.
The villain wasn't much of a scholar, but he was quick-witted and exceptionally skilled in combat. His standing at court kept rising, and he grew more and more clingy, veering further and further from the original plot.
In the book, he was cold and heartless.
In real life, he was meek and gentle as he coaxed her: "Be a good spouse. Let's do it again."
"One more time, and I'll divorce you!"
