[Complete. My new story next door, "My Mom Is the Real Female Lead," is now underway. Please add it to your collection and send flowers. Kisses!] Lin Xiujuan transmigrated into a period novel as the female lead's cannon-fodder cousin. The facts were these: the female lead had transmigrated, the female supporting character had been reborn, and the male lead was still undergoing reeducation with his family in a cowshed. As for the original owner, she had been widowed a month ago, and her husband's family had left her with a pair of younger siblings to support. Lin Xiujuan made a quick decision: she'd be a quiet, low-key bystander who enjoyed the drama. So while the female lead and supporting female character competed to make a name for themselves in the village, Lin Xiujuan watched the show, looked after the younger siblings, and fended off ill-intentioned men along the way. While the two women brought the male lead warmth, Lin Xiujuan watched the show, helped the younger siblings study, and put troublesome people in their place. When the conflict between the female lead and supporting character escalated, Lin Xiujuan was enjoying the drama when she realized the story had suddenly become about her. Her husband, who was rumored to have fallen to the bottom of a mountain while saving someone, had actually survived and come home. Lin Xiujuan: ???? * In his previous life, Xie Yuanzhi fell to the bottom of a mountain while saving someone. He was rescued, but it took him three years to regain his memories. By the time he returned home, the woman had already used his compensation money to marry into the city a year earlier. What was worse, to marry again, she had sent his younger brother away as an apprentice and hastily married off his younger sister, ruining both their lives. In this life, reborn Xie Yuanzhi woke up six months after his "death." His younger siblings were still living under that woman's roof, so there was still time to change things. When he returned home and saw his siblings flocking around that woman, Xie Yuanzhi realized that something seemed a little off. [Coming soon: "I'm the Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel."
