An alternate world!!!] Gu Jinyu, a high school teacher, was researching a project when his frail body gave out and he died in the middle of the night. He transmigrated into the body of a farmer's son in the ancient countryside. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a bright, celebratory red. In the middle of a shabby, dilapidated wedding chamber in a house with bare walls sat a pretty young girl who looked completely out of place. She clutched a rusty pair of scissors against her neck and glared at him, trying to look fierce. "I never wanted to marry you. If you take one more step, I... I'll die right in front of you." Gu Jinyu: ??? Why did transmigrating come with a wife as a bonus? He looked at the girl, who couldn't be more than fifteen, sighed, picked up the torn quilt beside him, and silently made a bed on the floor. As he lay on the floor, recalling the body's original owner's memories and sorting through his thoughts, he realized that he'd transmigrated into a book! The girl was the fake daughter in a story about a true and false heiress fighting in the household. She had lost to the original heroine in their schemes. The true heiress and original heroine had driven her back to the countryside and arranged for her to marry him, a poor, aimless young rascal. Her future was grim. Gu Jinyu slapped his own arm. At least this body was in much better shape than his frail one in his previous life. What could he do? He'd make the best of it. What else, get divorced? Theme: Be self-reliant, persevere through every setback, and always maintain a reverence for knowledge.
