A Period Novel I Never Finished

Blurb:

Zhou Huanxi transmigrates into a period novel and becomes the cannon-fodder ex-wife of the male lead, Xu Jiabao.

According to the plot, after marrying the male lead, she works from dawn to dusk every day and serves his entire family, yet they still look down on her. After the heroine appears, the male lead divorces her without hesitation, leaving her to endure endless gossip at her parents' home until she finally throws herself into a river.

Zhou Huanxi: ...

Whoever wants that scumbag can have him! She certainly doesn't.

When the villagers of Dawang Village hear that Zhou Huanxi plans to cut ties with the Xu family, they all say she's gone crazy.

The Xu family are city people, after all, with ration coupons for grain!

The villagers all wait to see the Zhou family make fools of themselves.

But to their surprise, life gets better and better for the Zhou family. Every one of them lands a secure job, becoming the envy of the village.

When Zhou Huanxi says their relationship ends here, Xu Jiabao scoffs, thinking she's just putting on airs!

Only after Zhou Huanxi really stops showing up does Xu Jiabao start to panic. He rushes to Dawang Village in the middle of the night, determined to make her see the error of her ways.

But she won't even give him the time of day. She turns around and happily takes the hand of a handsome man.

With the situation in turmoil, Cheng Qingbai is sent to Dawang Village as an educated youth by his grandfather. As soon as he arrives, he hears all the gossip about the Zhou family's daughter.

He remains cool and unmoved, never imagining that one day she would have him wrapped around her finger.
