Blurb:

Zhou Jing, who never wanted to marry, transmigrates into a book and becomes a supporting female character in a period novel, madly in love with the male lead. She's currently causing a huge uproar because she refuses to marry the soldier her family chose for her.

Zhou's mother: “If you really don't want to, Mom won't force you...”

Zhou Jing: “Mom, I'll marry him.”

In the 1970s, an unmarried woman was practically a criminal. Rather than face endless pressure to marry, she may as well get engaged to a hero who doesn't appear until the final chapter.

Just as Zhou Jing is planning to settle down and become a faithful widow in all but name, Cheng Yuan takes leave and returns home for their engagement.

Sheng Xi loves Li Xing dearly. Even knowing he married her only for business interests, she still throws herself into the marriage without hesitation.

It isn't until the wedding banquet is over, when she receives a wedding gift from his long-lost love, that she realizes she'd wasted years of devotion on a man who doesn't deserve it.

On their wedding night, Li Xing hands Sheng Xi a contract stipulating that they'll divorce amicably once their project is finished.

Sheng Xi: “Can we get divorced tomorrow? I made a mistake. You're not the man of my dreams I've kept in my heart all this time...”

Li Xing: “...Who is the man of your dreams?”

Sheng Xi: “Your uncle.”

Li Xing: “...”

Later, the project ends.

Sheng Xi: “Let's go to the civil affairs bureau this afternoon and change our status.”

Li Xing: “Honey, stop messing around. We're going to apply for a birth permit.”

Bonus scene:

Li Xing has always been unhurried about his own marriage, but after getting married, he starts worrying about his uncle's love life. After he's arranged a date for Li Zhi for the third time...

Old Master Li: “Are you planning to open a matchmaking agency?”

Li Xing: “I just feel bad that at your age you still have to worry about your son's lifelong happiness.”

Li Zhi: “...Get lost.”

The lost love is a misunderstanding / marriage first, love later / one-on-one romance / both leads are sexually inexperienced

Theme: Work hard and strive toward a better life
