The Villainess Is Done

My new period novel, The Male Lead's Long-Term Meal Ticket, is now available next door. If you're interested, sweet readers, please add it to your collection!

Ginseng spirit Huo Yu transmigrates into a period novel as a female villain who shares her name, but not her surname.

The villain's mother died in childbirth, leaving behind a baby boy who still needed nursing. Her father quickly remarried and brought home a new wife.

The stepsister who came with her stepmother is the heroine of the book. If Huo Yu hadn't transmigrated here, the plot would have gone like this:

She takes her stepsister's place and is sent down to the countryside. There, she marries a lazy lout. Later, when the educated youths return to the city, she abandons her husband and child, comes back to seduce her brother-in-law and fight her stepsister for him, and commits every kind of wicked deed. In the end, her father throws her out, and she jumps into the sea to end her life.

Her biological older brother tries to get revenge on her stepsister's family, but ultimately meets a miserable end and dies young.

The little brother her mother gave birth to dies in an accident not long after she is sent to the countryside.

As for her father, he lives happily with her stepmother and the children she brought with her.

Huo Yu: "..."

She looks at the stepmother who stole her mother's place, then at the illegitimate little brother who is barely younger than her, and promptly reports them.

Go enjoy yourselves at the labor camp. I'm changing my surname and taking my little brother with me to the countryside.

Content warnings:

1. The heroine has a golden finger and isn't a pushover (not being a pushover doesn't mean she's unkind).

2. One-on-one romance, both leads are chaste. The heroine is a ginseng spirit who transmigrates; the male lead is a native of this world.

3. A parallel, fictional setting, very loosely based on reality. Logic always takes a back seat to the plot, so serious history buffs should steer clear.

Theme: Take control of your own life.
