Xu Wan had a strange, long dream. Through it, she realized she was the original wife of the male lead in a clichéd romance novel, with a tragic fate. She'd married the male lead at a young age, only to be resented for staying home to raise their children and having nothing in common with him. He neglected her until she developed depression, and she became the foil to the female lead, who was her husband's confidante.
She didn't work outside the home, making the female lead look capable and accomplished. Her insecurity and neuroticism made the female lead seem understanding. Her pain and emotional outbursts made the female lead seem cultured and reasonable.
Xu Wan woke up and spat. Let the scumbag and the other woman play their own game. She wasn't going to live according to the book's plot!
Take a job at a factory that's about to go bankrupt and waste her youth? No way!
Marry the husband from the original story? Forget it! She wasn't getting married. Whoever wants him can have him!
She spent half a month waiting in the street for the right person, and finally he showed up. "Miss, you look just right for a role in our movie. Would you like to audition?" Afraid the beautiful young woman would think he was a scammer, he was just about to pull out his work ID when she smiled and nodded without a second thought.
"Sure, let's go!"
Why get married? With an opportunity like this right in front of her, and a face as beautiful as hers, why couldn't she make her mark in the entertainment industry, now that it was just beginning to take off?
In the entertainment world of the 1990s, a hundred flowers bloomed and everything grew wild. Xu Wan stepped into the world of fame and fortune and began her legendary life.
As for men... Businessmen and capitalists who worship money couldn't be trusted. But surely a scientist who had devoted himself to classified research projects in the wilderness for decades would be more reliable, especially if he had dedicated himself to the country?
Seeing Xu Wan choose a different path, the confidante who had transmigrated into the book was baffled. Without a foil, how could she show off how wonderful she was?
Her reborn ex-husband was dumbfounded too. Where was his beautiful, gentle, and virtuous wife?
