[Military Marriage] [Swapped Marriages] [Love After Marriage] [Face-Slapping Contrast] [Feel-Good Story]
Only after Jiang Zhiyi died did she learn that she had become a cannon-fodder character and a foil in a story set in a bygone era.
She had a dream and read a book: her adopted sister, Jiang Wanrou, was the heroine, and her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Lu Jinghe, was the hero.
For a scumbag who didn't love her, she cried, made a scene, and clung to him, humiliating herself. In the end, she even lost her life.
The day before the marriage swap, Jiang Zhiyi finally came to her senses: she could live without a man, but she had to stay alive, and she would not let herself suffer a loss for nothing!
"We can swap marriages, but give me two thousand yuan in exchange." Her scumbag parents gritted their teeth and paid up for their precious adopted daughter.
Who knew the marriage swap would pair her with Lu Huaichuan, Lu Jinghe's uncle!
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the man before her, the one in the book who had run to Jiang Wanrou without caring whether she lived or died.
An idea struck her, and she made some outrageous demands.
"A dowry of 1,888 yuan sounds unlucky. I want 6,666 yuan."
"I've never done housework, and I won't do it after we're married either. Don't even think I'll cook or wait on you."
"After we marry, I won't live with your parents."
"And one more thing: I'm not having children!"
Her demands were outrageous, but to her surprise, Lu Huaichuan didn't hesitate for a moment.
"All right. You can have my passbook, all 8,000 yuan."
"I'll give you a house as compensation for marrying me. Live however you like."
"If you don't want children, then we won't have any. It's up to you."
After they married, life was chaotic, but Jiang Zhiyi didn't give up on medicine. She had planned to land a secure job, then find a chance to grab her things and run.
Then a certain man started showing off in every possible way, taking showers in the courtyard and putting her feet on his eight-pack abs in winter.
No deal! Absolutely no deal!
"What are you doing?"
"Wife, can't you tell what I'm doing?"
