Qiao Ran transmigrates into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder supporting female character in a sweet romance novel.
In the book, the original owner is the male lead's sister-in-law. On the day of the male lead's brother's wedding, he gets into a car accident and plunges into a river with his car, dying without a trace.
After her husband dies, the original owner lives abroad for six years. When she returns home, people around her egg her on to pursue the male lead. In the end, she fails to win him over, he takes her billions in assets, and sends her to an asylum overseas, where she is unable to return home for the rest of her life.
After transmigrating, Qiao Ran hears her mother-in-law urging her to pursue the male lead. She runs upstairs, packs her bags, and leaves his home.
She has her late husband's billion-dollar inheritance, a stunning figure, and irresistible beauty. She's rich and gorgeous, so why would she chase after a CEO with a childish streak and someone already in his heart? Wouldn't it be better to take her husband's inheritance, travel the world, and keep herself a handsome younger boyfriend?
By a stroke of luck, Qiao Ran meets Gu Sijue, A University's youngest genius professor and its aloof campus heartthrob. He's strikingly handsome, quiet, and irresistibly abstinent, the dream man of every girl at A University.
Once she's set her sights on him, Qiao Ran launches an all-out pursuit. Professor Gu wants to work on a research project? She uses her late husband's inheritance to fund it. Professor Gu can't stay at home for the time being? She buys a new place for them to live together. Professor Gu can't drive? She buys him a car and hires a driver just for him...
As she takes care of him, Qiao Ran really falls for him. Wanting to be with the professor forever, she brings out the roses and ring she's prepared and proposes.
Professor Gu looks at the ring and thinks of the photo of a marriage certificate he received in his inbox last night. He says bluntly, "I'm married."
Heartbroken, Qiao Ran can't believe the first man she's ever fallen for turned out to be a scumbag. She throws the roses at his face and turns to leave.
They meet again at her former mother-in-law's birthday banquet. The moment the man appears, he shocks the entire room. Her former mother-in-law hugs him and bursts into tears, while her former father-in-law pats him on the shoulder. "You're back. That's all that matters. You're back."
Qiao Ran: !!!!
Me: !!!!
Can someone tell me why the younger guy I took in by chance turned out to be my dead husband?!
