[A Rags-to-Riches Power Fantasy, from Hong Kong to the Mainland]
Li Zhizhi wanted to outshine Su Ruowei ever since she was a little girl.
The result:
She studied herself to exhaustion, while Su Ruowei barely had to glance at a few books to score higher than her.
She chased after her beloved with all her might, while Su Ruowei married him without breaking a sweat.
She went to great lengths to fit into high society and pretend to be a socialite, while Su Ruowei was the little princess of Hong Kong.
In the end, out of jealousy and a desire for revenge, she resorted to despicable means to marry Su Ruowei's upright, honorable older brother.
But unexpectedly, her husband forgave her and cherished her, her father-in-law was generous, and her mother-in-law gave her the maternal love she'd never known.
Li Zhizhi lost herself in the happiness of this family. As the eldest sister-in-law, she spoiled Su Ruowei just like everyone else, until she died saving her.
Only after her death did she realize how ridiculous it was: she had been nothing but the vicious supporting female character in a period novel. Not long after she died, her husband immediately found a new love.

Her old flame: After you disappeared from my life, I realized I couldn't live without you.
Li Zhizhi: You're just desperate!
Her husband: I dreamed about our wedding. We were so happy together.
Li Zhizhi: Then keep dreaming!
