Shen Zhihe struck it lucky!
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the wicked supporting character in an ancient farming romance, a woman who wouldn't survive the first ten chapters.
The original Shen Zhihe was fair-skinned and beautiful, but selfish and lazy. She took in the gravely wounded, amnesiac General of the Nation after he fell into the water, forced herself on him, and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Even though they remained poor, she refused to change her ways. She squandered her husband's hard-earned money, mistreated her own children, and, hoping to ingratiate herself with a wealthy landowner, sold her daughter and drugged her. In the end, she died a miserable death as a military prostitute.
When Shen Zhihe opened her eyes again, it was the very day her son nearly drowned.
She hadn't even finished absorbing the memories, her child's life hung by a thread, and her death was looming over her.
To escape the tragic fate of the original story, Shen Zhihe used her modern medical knowledge to risk everything and save the drowning child first.
She changed her ways, gave up her delusions, and stayed out of the male and female leads' tangled romance.
If she did that, then when he eventually remembered his past, surely she wouldn't meet the same fate, right?
But gradually, she began to notice that something about the general was changing.
“Wife, what are you afraid of?”
“Wife, since you've agreed, you can't leave me, no matter what happens.”
“Wife...”
“Wife!”
