Whoever Wants to Be the Heroine of This Angsty Novel Can Have the Job

Novel blurb: Wang Baozhu transmigrates into a tragic romance novel adapted from the folk tale "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan," which she had the privilege of reading when she was young and naive. The original tale has been embellished and reworked beyond recognition.

The heroine, Wang Baozhu, shares her name with her. In the first half of her life, she's the pampered heroine of a sweet romance. In the second half, she takes center stage as the tragic heroine. Her husband, Xue Pinggui, leaves for the battlefield and never returns. And when he does return, she wishes he hadn't.

She gives birth to his child in a cold cave, living on coarse food and wild greens, while he enjoys himself in another country and takes a concubine. One day, he hears that his former wife never remarried and waited eighteen years for him in that cave. He is so moved that he decides to go home and test her loyalty.

His loyal former wife: "..." Why come back at all? Sir, I suggest you go straight back to the drawing board.

Wang Baozhu thinks it over carefully. Apart from her ex-husband, who clearly has something wrong with his head, those eighteen years spent waiting for him to return were also filled with all kinds of lunatics.

There was her vicious second sister, Wang Baojing, who was jealous of her and constantly schemed against her. As soon as her husband went missing on the battlefield, she immediately sent someone to tell her younger sister that he had died.

There was Xue Ling'er, her husband's twisted adopted sister, who couldn't have her brother's affection and took it out on her sister-in-law.

And then there were the pathetic hangers-on her husband made friends with. They would show up at his family's house to freeload, then turn around and ask the heroine, "My brother is dead. Why haven't you joined him? Are you planning to remarry?" There was the beggar Dachun, the beggar woman Qiuqiu, and so on...

Wang Baozhu weighs her options. The best way to get away from all these crazies is to marry someone else!

But when she transmigrates, her newlywed husband has just gone missing, and the person sent by her second sister to deliver the false news is right in front of her.

And she's carrying two babies. Don't get the wrong idea. These aren't genius children who can recite the Four Books and Five Classics backward at the age of three. They're the next generation of tragic heroines, one of whom will suffer a miscarriage while the other survives!

Wang Baozhu: "..." I choose to let them die, thanks.

P.S. 1. This is a story about how, if I have no morals, no one can use morality to blackmail me.

2. When the heroine transmigrates, she is already married and pregnant. She will have the babies, but her maternal love has its limits.

3. The focus is on turning the tables and getting revenge. The heroine will find love again, but I don't know how long the romance will last.

Theme: Your fate is in your own hands.
