An Lan, a workaholic, transmigrated into a novel as a vicious maid scheming to climb the social ladder.
The person who killed her was Xie Lanyin, whom the original owner had tried every possible way to marry.
She was the eldest legitimate daughter of a distinguished scholarly family: beautiful and aloof, proud yet composed. But a maid ruined her reputation, giving political enemies the chance to exile her entire family.
In the end, after An Lan's reckless behavior caused her loved ones' deaths, Xie Lanyin turned dark. One rainy night, she tortured An Lan to death, then endured humiliation and became a regent feared by all.
When An Lan woke up, her family had only one thatched hut, a patch of ruined vegetables, and three adults and two children as thin as sticks.
The person beside her was breathtakingly beautiful, but their eyes were full of malice. "Shameless."
"What's with the attitude? You still need me to support you!" An Lan insisted, while screaming inwardly:
Help! Can I run away now?!
But then she thought of the sins the original owner had committed, and the disastrous situation from the start.
Farming? Even a dog wouldn't... No, this is exactly what you do in a farming novel!
Making pancakes, selling fish, braising tofu, fixing the house, buying a mule... An Lan frantically racked up coins and affection, and the An family's life kept getting better. Xie Lanyin even regained the use of her legs.
An Lan figured the other woman couldn't possibly want to kill her anymore, so she found a chance to get drunk and make a tearful confession.
"I'm sorry, young lady. After we divorce, I'll give you all the money. Please don't hunt me down in the future."
Before she could finish, the door was kicked open.
Madam Xie grabbed An Lan by the sleeve. She didn't even notice the gold hairpin falling from her head. "Xiao An, our family can't do without you."
Her little niece came charging over like a cannonball, rolling around on the ground in the silk clothes they'd just bought. "Aaaah! I don't want to live with Auntie! I want to live well with Sister An! Aaaah!"
Xie Lanyin, who had always looked down at her, clutched the land deed and crumpled it into a ball, angry and aggrieved. "Divorce?"
An Lan: ...I suspect you're wasting my hard-earned money.
