Su Liu transmigrates into a book, entering the novel she wrote herself.
The plot is a ridiculous mess, and the characters are utterly bizarre.
The heroine is a delicate, innocent-seeming concubine's daughter, while the second female lead is a spoiled, carnivorous flower of a legitimate daughter.
The main male characters include a fake domineering CEO, a green-tea schemer, and a yandere. Not one of them is normal.
And Su Liu is the cannon fodder of the original story: the heroine's wicked legitimate mother.
Su Liu: Where's my husband, the one man I haven't managed to torment?
Nanny: Madam, your husband is eight hundred li away from the capital.
Every day, she flails on the brink of death and tries to summon her bargain-bin husband home.
The wicked legitimate mother writes: Come home, children's father! I can't take this anymore!
The bargain-bin husband writes: My dear wife Su Liu, I hope this letter finds you well. I will return soon.
Bai Changfang sets out on a mission, braving death and hardship day and night. His only companion is line after line of elegant handwriting beneath the lamplight.
Su Liu writes: I think of you every day. Please come home soon.
When he finally returns to the capital from the border, he finds his wife chatting and laughing with their two daughters.
He thinks his wife is willing to put the past behind them and spend the rest of their lives together. Instead, she pulls out a cleaver: You deadbeat! Your daughters are so hard to raise!
Bai Changfang is so flustered by his wife's gentle words that he loses his composure. But when he sees her cleaver, he falls silent.

#The male and female leads are not each other's firsts. Read with caution.#
