In the 1970s, I Married into a Powerful Family and Became the Foil

Yi Siyue transmigrated into a book, becoming the evil supporting character with the same name, the heroine's foil in a beloved-granddaughter story set in the early years of the People's Republic of China.

In the book, the heroine was the only girl in her family for three generations. Even though she was born in the countryside, she was doted on. When she grew up, she fell in love freely and happened to meet the male lead, an official. She then married into a prominent family with ease. Her mother-in-law adored her because she cared nothing for power and status. Her father-in-law valued her because she was well educated and loved to read. Her husband liked her lively, outgoing nature and indulged her in everything. Her sister-in-law was always telling people how wonderful she was, and the two became as close as sisters. Her life was happy and smooth.

Yi Siyue, on the other hand, was born the same year as the heroine, grew up in the same village, and married into the same family, yet their fates could not have been more different. After an accident, she married the male lead's older brother, who had become a vegetable.

But after she married into the family, her sister-in-law thought she was vain and would marry even a comatose man for money, and fought with her every day. Her mother-in-law thought her family background was poor and was constantly on guard against her. Even buying a needle meant having to watch her expression. Her father-in-law never once looked her in the eye. Every member of the family hated Yi Siyue, and she became the heroine's complete foil.

Because of this starkly unequal treatment, she turned completely wicked. Relying on the male lead's older brother, she relentlessly tormented his family, creating chaos at every turn and making their lives miserable. At last, after lying unconscious for three years without waking, the older brother died. She was thrown out and died destitute on the street.

That's it? Yi Siyue, who had transmigrated into the book, grinned like a three-hundred-jin fat person. "Rich, with plenty of free time, and a man in a coma with no kids? Is this really a dream come true?"

To enjoy the retirement life of her dreams, Yi Siyue worked herself to the bone to keep the male lead's older brother alive, hoping he would let her live this carefree life forever. But while she was caring for him, the man woke up. Looking at her, he held her hand with deep affection. "I'll treat you well."

Yi Siyue reached out like a heartbroken heroine. "..."

This is a misunderstanding. I just want to enjoy my retirement.

Gu Nan had an exceptionally high IQ. After graduating from university at fourteen, he joined a research institute and led multiple research projects. His life was looking brighter than ever when an accident left him in a vegetative state. For years, he lay in bed, completely unaware of anything. But one day, he suddenly heard someone chattering beside him.

"My retirement life, here I come."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. You're my long-term meal ticket, after all."

"People in vegetative states can live another twenty or thirty years. Do your best to make it that long."

At that, Gu Nan opened his eyes and saw the woman opposite him freeze. "I was joking."

Gu Nan: "..." She had just said she hoped he would stay like this forever. Just because he was unconscious, she thought she could fool him? His hearing was perfectly fine!
