Mu Wan woke up to find herself in a period novel, cast as the substitute female character in a foil role.
Her only purpose was to make the heroine's life look blissful by comparison.
Her original life was hard but peaceful, until the year the college entrance exams were reinstated, when another group of educated youth arrived in the village.
The scumbag supporting male character took her for a stand-in for the heroine, his unattainable first love. With sweet words, he tricked her into giving him her heart and body, and even stole her family's ancestral property. She died after enduring endless torment.
As if cheating her out of her heart and body weren't enough, he also swindled her money and took her life.
How could Mu Wan, who treasured money and her own life, put up with that!
The day Mu Wan transmigrated was the very day the scumbag arrived in the countryside as an educated youth.
Mu Wan decided to stay away from the jerk, get into college, and build a prosperous future.
But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she was stunned: muddy ground, a dilapidated house, and barely any grain left in the storage jar.
What kind of hellish start was this!
First of all, in an era when people had to earn work points, simply getting enough to eat was a major problem.
And what the novel never mentioned was that her family was in such dire straits because they had a whole pack of parasitic relatives.
Mu Wan felt her road to prosperity would be not only difficult but perilous.
Later...
Mu Wan turned her family's shabby thatched cottage into a two-story Western-style house, became the village's first household worth ten thousand yuan, and helped the entire village prosper.
The scumbag wept bitterly and pleaded earnestly: "Wanwan, be with me. I'll treat you well for the rest of my life."
Holding her college admission letter, Mu Wan sneered: "Get lost. You're not worthy."
