Su Mingyu and Lu Baozhu are fair-weather friends. Behind each other's backs, they compete endlessly to outshine one another, but to everyone's faces they're all sweetness and light, having vowed never to part for the rest of their lives.
And then they really were matched into the same family.
Su Mingyu is the eldest son's wife, while Lu Baozhu is the favored second son's wife. On the surface, they're evenly matched, but in private, each thinks her own husband got the better deal.
Su Mingyu thinks so too. The eldest branch has plenty of rules, but will inherit the title one day. Compared to that, what does the old lady's affection matter?
Then she has a prophetic dream. The Duke of Ying's family falls out of imperial favor, the eldest branch loses its title and goes into decline, while the second branch rises to power thanks to its role in supporting the future emperor.
When she wakes, Su Mingyu insists on switching betrothals. She can endure eating coarse food for the rest of her life, but she won't let Lu Baozhu laugh at her!
*
Just after Su Mingyu transmigrates into her new life, the Su family is already in a complete mess.
There's no denying what's happened now. Even if she could really switch the marriage arrangements, she'd only make herself a laughingstock. Su Mingyu knows all too well that the heroine, Lu Baozhu, was born with incredible luck and brings good fortune to her husband. How could changing one marriage possibly solve that?
In that case, she might as well become related to her.
Su Mingyu sets her sights on the heroine's eldest maternal uncle. Since he's Lu Baozhu's full brother, surely she'll get a share of the benefits down the line.
She insists that she must marry Lu Ze.
Everyone in the household praises the younger sister for putting family first and turning enemies into allies. What better way than a marriage between the families?
Only Su Mingyu's mother knows her daughter best. "You usually can't stand that Lu boy. You say he's dull, boring, and clueless about romance. Why are you suddenly interested in him?"
Su Mingyu answers with a perfectly straight face, "Of course it's to annoy Lu Baozhu. As her elder brother's wife, I'll be like a mother to her. She'll have to call me Mother someday."
Lu Baozhu, suddenly demoted by a generation: ...
Lu Ze, who has somehow gained a daughter: ...
At first, Lu Ze only chose to sacrifice his own happiness and marry the spoiled, willful Su girl to ease tensions between their families. Who could have guessed that, as time passed, he would fall in too deep?
At first, he fretted over how to keep her well fed and happy. Later, he wanted to cut out his whole heart and give it to her.
Too late for regrets.

Haha, we are really brothers. Alas, I can't see the wedding ceremony until today.
Hahahahahaha, so cute🤩
I can only say that the male protagonist's family is not worthy of the female protagonist
Haha, being older has its advantages. I am looking forward to the great contrast between Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu after his marriage.
In reality, these two people have pretty good personalities. One is making trouble and the other is laughing.
Haha, the old lady is just saying bad things. Mingyue and Lu Ze should get along well with their contrasting personalities.
Haha, the ideas of the Mingyue family are really wild and interesting. Such a temperament goes well with Brother Lu.
You can ask that Xiangyun to get married, otherwise he will stir up trouble every day.
Why did the female protagonist give all her heart to the male protagonist? It's so weird. As a time traveler, the female protagonist just relies on marriage to solve her problems. She has been trying to please the male protagonist [covering her face and laughing]. There are also many invisible females that are a bit stuck in the throat.,,
Maybe I am really not suitable for watching. Why do I feel that the female protagonist is always complimenting the male protagonist (stinky feet), and the male protagonist's family with strong self-esteem is too difficult to get along with...
