Jiang Mingyue transmigrated and became the female supporting character who serves as a foil to the heroine in a period novel.
The story has already reached the point where the heroine is happily preparing to join her husband in the army and begin a wonderful life.
As for Jiang Mingyue, she's about to receive news that her university-student husband has "died." After that, she'll work herself to the bone raising her child and die young.
Jiang Mingyue's vision went black. Could she please transmigrate back?
But then she looked at the person in the mirror: snowy skin, black hair, a slender waist and long legs, as beautiful as a fairy.
She decided she could still make a good life for herself if she worked hard.

After Jiang Mingyue's husband was gone, relatives and neighbors came to play matchmaker. "It's hard to raise a child alone. You're still young and pretty, so you can find someone with good prospects."
Jiang Mingyue looked at the photo of a bald factory director and shook her head. "I need to see him alive or see his body. I don't believe he's dead. I'm going to the city to find him."
Her relatives all thought she was crazy. "You're a woman on your own, taking a child out with you. Aren't you afraid something will happen?"
They failed to talk her out of it, and sneered behind her back: Once you've suffered enough, you'll know to come back and beg for help.
The relatives waited and waited, but Jiang Mingyue never came back in defeat. Instead, one piece of good news after another arrived.
Jiang Mingyue got a job at the factory!
Jiang Mingyue became a cadre, and got her mother a job at the factory!
Jiang Mingyue became a senior cadre, and got her father and brothers jobs at the factory!

Ye Chenghui had won countless military honors and was exceptionally handsome, but he was stern and kept his distance from women. At nearly thirty, he had never even held a woman's hand.
Everyone thought he was destined to remain a bachelor.
Until one day, the Ye family saw their own cold-faced devil accompanying a woman on a shopping trip, smiling like a lovesick fool.
Jiang Mingyue blushed and tried to hide, but he pulled her close. "Comrade Mingyue, it's time you gave me a proper title."
