Bie Zhizhi is transported into a period novel as a cannon-fodder character who shares her name. She is the white moonlight of the great villain, Li Nianzhi, and dies young at the hands of the heroine. After Bie Zhizhi dies, Li Nianzhi goes mad. He takes his revenge on the heroine with a vengeance, dutifully creating obstacle after obstacle for the leads' romance and careers. Only after the couple finally gets their happy ending does he die a tragic death, murmuring Bie Zhizhi's name. When Bie Zhizhi arrives, her death is only a day away! Terrified, she immediately applies to be sent to the countryside, hoping to stay far away from the leads and keep herself safe. Bie Zhizhi is assigned to help develop an island. Conditions are harsh, and the newly transferred, handsome, aloof officer Li Shu keeps picking fights with her, yet always protects her at crucial moments... Bie Zhizhi gradually gets used to life on the island. While the male and female leads are starving in the city and sharing half a raw sweet potato, Bie Zhizhi and the educated youth are eating seafood on the island until they're stuffed. While the leads pretend to get married so they can be assigned an apartment, Bie Zhizhi and the educated youth work hard to build wooden cabins and raise pigs, fish, chickens, ducks, and geese. Food, clothing, housing, and other necessities become more plentiful, and everyone's lives improve. Male lead, female lead, great villain, get lost! Wouldn't it be better to stay warm, eat our fill, and help build our country? Zhizhi has her own troubles. She's so beautiful that the educated youth and villagers keep confessing to her. Bie Zhizhi politely uses the villain as a shield: "In this life, Li Nianzhi is the only person I will ever love. Sadly, he died young..." Then she reddens her eyes and lets two clear tears fall. Everyone praises her for her deep, unwavering devotion. Until one day, her nemesis Li Shu comes to see her: "I heard I was dead?" Bie Zhizhi: "???" Li Shu smiles. "Have you remembered our childhood betrothal? And that Nianzhi is my courtesy name?" Bie Zhizhi: "!!!" With tears in her eyes, Bie Zhizhi is escorted by Li Shu to the civil affairs bureau, where they get their little red marriage booklet. From then on, he dotes on her like a princess. . Reader's note: [1] The male lead loves the heroine from beginning to end, not the original body's owner. To learn the truth and details, you'll have to read the story. [2] Island development begins around Chapter 37. About 90% of the story is about developing the island and farming for real, with island cuisine woven in. [3] This is an ensemble cast story. Please support the official release! Thank you so much! I'll be writing this one next. Please add The Handsome Stepmother of a Research Officer [The 1980s] to your collection! Blurb: At her wedding banquet, Wang You hears her husband's nephew's inner thoughts and learns that she is living in a novel. The male lead is Wang You's stepson, Li Yu. After enduring countless hardships, he will finally become a celebrated military research leader. Wang You, meanwhile, is a disposable stepmother who gets only a few words in a novel several million characters long: [Wang You dies less than a year after marrying Li Shen. Her cousin Su Qing becomes the male lead's new stepmother and saves him...] What??? Wang You frowns. She and Su Qing are sworn enemies. Su Qing has been jealous of Wang You since childhood, and vowed to take everything from her. So Su Qing took the love of Wang You's parents, her childhood friend and first love, and nearly took away her chance to attend university... Now that Wang You has just gotten married, Su Qing wants to take her husband, too? Not a chance! Using her nephew's inner thoughts as a guide, Wang You avoids every "accident." Not only does she stay alive and well, she also makes her little family thrive. Her husband, Li Shen, pampers her like a princess, so much so that her feet never touch the ground and her hands never have to do a thing. Her stepson, Li Yu, trusts her wholeheartedly and treats her like his real mother. At the same time, Wang You helps her nephew pursue his dream. He dreams of taking Li Yu's place as the male lead, and is even willing to break up his parents and make Su Qing his stepmother! And so... The Wang You family and the Su Qing family become foils for each other. While Wang You's husband works hard and rides the wave of reform and opening up to become the richest man in the country, and her son studies diligently to get into Tsinghua University, Su Qing's husband loses the family home gambling, while her stepson crawls at the campus belle's feet and barks like a dog. Years later, when Wang You's husband has become the richest man in the country and her son has returned from studying abroad as a military research officer, Su Qing's husband is in prison, and her stepson is teetering on a rooftop. He shouts, "I'm not her dog. I'm the male lead!" then leaps down in despair... He survives, but is left paralyzed. With nothing left, Su Qing screams at the elegant, beautiful Wang You, "Why do you get to live better than me? You're inferior to me in every way!" Su Qing doesn't even get the chance to pick a fight. Li Shen has his bodyguards stop her and says with contempt, "Unimportant people don't deserve to speak to my wife." Li Yu also gives her a cold sidelong glance. "Anyone who dares bully my mom is my enemy!" Su Qing breaks down. Thank you, everyone! Theme: I build a beautiful home on an island
