Blurb:

Jinxiu was the personal maid of Song Yu, the young lady of the Chang'an Marquis's residence. After dying one day, she transmigrated to the 1980s, where she learned that she had become the namesake supporting female character in a period novel.

The second child in her family, she was neither loved by her father nor cared for by her mother. She worked tirelessly like an old ox, only to be married off to an old widower by her parents for a few bride-price coins, then die at her husband's fists. The heroine, meanwhile, was her own younger sister, the precious daughter their parents cherished.

Jinxiu: ...

She would live, and live better than anyone else.

After Jinxiu arrived, everything turned upside down. The heroine, her younger sister who had been reborn, threatened to kill herself unless Jinxiu took her place in the engagement, so she could throw herself into the male lead's arms instead.

Jinxiu: ...

Fine, she'd marry him. Getting away from the Su family was a good thing, too.

But on their wedding night, the man took out an agreement with his name already signed. "Ours is an arranged marriage, and we have no feelings for each other. Let's give it a year. We'll live as friends during that time, and after a year, I'll set you free."

Jinxiu: ...

That was fine, too. A man would only slow down her money-making. Besides, she had embroidery skills so exquisite they seemed supernatural.

With her own two hands, Jinxiu embroidered herself a whole new world.
