Su Youyou had just wrapped up a cross-border acquisition deal when she transmigrated into a period novel, becoming a vicious cannon-fodder character who was on the verge of ruining her own life.
In the original story, her parents sold her off for next to nothing to become a stepmother to three little boys, all to raise money for her younger brother's wedding.
Those three boys were no ordinary children!
One would grow up to become a business magnate who dominated the industry, with wealth rivaling an entire nation.
One would become a nationally treasured actor, able to whip the entertainment industry into a frenzy with the slightest move.
And one would become a scientist entrusted with the country's most powerful weapons. Whenever he got to work, he would either send a rocket into space or launch an aircraft carrier into the sea.
But now, they were trembling as they stared at the stick in Su Youyou's hand, blinking their big, bright eyes as they begged her to go easy on them and spare their lives.
Newly arrived in this world, Su Youyou remembered her tragic ending in the book and tore up the stupid script. How could the pillars of the country suffer in her hands?
When her scummy parents came around to suck her dry again, Su Youyou simply ignored them.
She got to work starting a factory and worked hard to improve her life.
She raised three future bigwigs, saving valuable talent for the country.
As for the husband she'd never met, she could do without him. Chairman Mao himself said that women hold up half the sky. Even without relying on a man, Su Youyou could make a life of her own.

Lei Zhanting had served in the army for eight years and was a lieutenant colonel. To raise the child of a comrade who had died for his country, he married a woman he had never met and left her in the countryside. But lately, Lei Zhanting had begun to regret it. He had fallen for the director of the textile factory.
The factory director had a slim waist and long legs, and she was decisive and efficient. She also had a spirited, playful charm that made his heart flutter. As it happened, his wife from the countryside had come to find him and ask for a divorce, and Lei Zhanting readily agreed.
Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lei Zhanting saw the factory director and asked what she was doing there.
Su Youyou: I'm here to divorce the man I've never met.
Lei Zhanting: ...
There was no way he was letting this divorce happen!
