Her husband has just died, but a note is hidden inside the fountain pen he left behind: "Autumn 1976. Protect your belly. Eldest Brother isn't one of the Zhao family. Don't follow the book!"
Qi Siyu breaks into a cold sweat.
She has transmigrated into the period novel she never finished writing, and is currently kneeling in the mourning hall with a six-month baby bump.
Her sister-in-law is about to bring her tea laced with labor-inducing and mind-altering drugs, hoping to kill her and seize the three large-tiled houses and five hundred yuan in compensation.
Qi Siyu doesn't cry or make a fuss. While her sister-in-law turns away, she pours all the poisoned tea into her brother-in-law's and sister-in-law's noodle bowls!
Half an hour later, the pair are burning up and tearing at their clothes in public at the mourning hall of the brother who just died, making a complete spectacle of themselves!
Qi Siyu turns the tables by seizing compromising evidence against her father-in-law, the team leader, and splits the household in front of everyone, claiming the new house and a fortune of five hundred yuan for herself.
That night, she writes the day's satisfying takedown of the scumbags into the abandoned-draft System in her mind. The virtual readers love it and shower her with tips, doubling her royalties!
Seven-cent rice and forty-cent pork, bought with ration coupons, fill the kang cabinet by midnight!
But she can't figure out how her dead husband knew this was a book.
Who is digging up her husband's burial mound on the back hill at night?
And is the top supporter, "Qing Sheng Bu Si," who keeps warning her in advance through the System dashboard, really her husband, who is supposed to be completely dead?
