Meng Yu transmigrates into a book, becoming the widowed sister-in-law of the villain in a novel set in the past.
The sister-in-law is lazy and greedy. Although she's already divorced the villain's younger brother, she pretends to be carrying his posthumous child. All day, she either lies around stroking her belly or cries and throws tantrums, demanding that the villain get her some meat.
While the villain and the male lead are locked in a fierce struggle, she's bribed by the male lead to lure the villain into her room in the middle of the night.
Beneath her outer jacket, she's wearing only a camisole.
The male lead will bring a group of educated youths and village officials to catch the villain.
When Meng Yu reads this part, she curses the male lead for using such a ridiculous scheme, while also thinking: Wow, that sounds great.
If you're dealing with bad people, you have to be even more shameless than they are.
But now she's become that sister-in-law.
There's about one minute left before the male lead arrives with his men to catch the villain.
The villain has just walked into her room, and she's in the middle of lifting her outer jacket.
Meng Yu looks at the man before her, his face livid, his tall, fierce frame radiating rugged masculinity, his arms like iron. Awkwardly and cautiously, she asks, "If I say I'm too hot, will you believe me?"
Outside, a light rain is falling.
The Chen family's little widow is still as lazy as ever. She refuses to work in the fields and still goes out with the village children to gather pigweed.
But the Chen household, once cold and strange, is beginning to echo with a woman's laughter and smell of home-cooked food.
The little widow is cheerful every day, and, to everyone's astonishment, even brings meals to the eldest Chen brother.
But why hasn't the little widow's belly started to grow?
In the dead of night, Meng Yu is pinned down on the kang.
The man holds her down roughly, his dark brows and eyes fixed on hers.
"Didn't you say you were pregnant?"
Meng Yu: "Actually..."
He leans over her, his enormous shadow engulfing her completely. Gritting his teeth, he says, "Since you want a child, I'll give you one."
