After Becoming Cannon Fodder in a Period Novel

Li Yuejun survived for over twenty years in the apocalypse. She was its strongest fighter and the last human alive. When the zombies surrounded her, she died alongside the Zombie Emperor. When she woke again, she had become a cannon-fodder character in a series of period novels. Her whole family was a set of cannon-fodder foils: the happier the character's first half of life, the more miserable the second. First, her husband died early. After his death, the triplet boys she had just given birth to didn't survive either. For the next decade or so, she raised her four remaining children through sheer hard work, all while bearing a reputation for being shrewish. Not one of them was easy to deal with. Her two eldest daughters became devoted followers of the educated male lead, turning against each other over him. Her son fell for a beautiful educated female supporting character, only to be used by her and convicted of hooliganism. He was executed by firing squad. Her youngest daughter was timid and bullied by a village delinquent, then jumped into a river and drowned herself. The whole family met a terrible end, serving as a living foil to the widow next door and her family. In the end, the cannon-fodder character went mad. She killed the delinquent, then took her own life. And Li Yuejun transmigrated into the original character just as she was suffering a difficult labor while giving birth to triplets. Those very triplets who had died shortly after birth. To make matters worse, the original character had been reborn. Her previous life had been so miserable that she didn't want to live another one. She immediately handed over her body and left to be reincarnated, asking Li Yuejun to give her family a happy ending before she went. Li Yuejun: "..." What a hellish start! Thankfully, she had a golden finger. A drought? A famine? No big deal! She'd made it through the apocalypse. Was she really going to be afraid of a little famine? Lin Qihuai was the Great An's God of War. He went to battle at fifteen, and by his thirties he still hadn't married, having devoted himself to protecting the border. But his achievements made the ruler wary, and he refused to get involved in the princes' struggle for the throne. So the powerful betrayed him, and he died on the battlefield. After transmigrating, he was greeted with a wife and eight children. Lin Qihuai: "..." Reading guide: Both the male and female leads will have their stories told. This is a slice-of-life novel, with amateurish writing and no regard for logic. If that's not your thing, please close the page.
