+Qiu Nuanyi struggles to survive in the apocalypse. By chance, she discovers a period novel and feels both sorry for and disgusted by the male lead's difficult ex-wife.

++Who would have thought that when she opened her eyes, she would have become that very annoying cannon-fodder female character?

++She catches her husband cheating in person, cries, makes a scene, and threatens to hang herself. Her in-laws insist on sending her back to her parents' home, but the difficult wife turns around and says she wants to marry the son of the former mother-in-law's sworn enemy, who lives next door to the original male lead.

++The plot is so complicated that Qiu Nuanyi is getting a headache.

++She divorces him quickly, taking everything that belongs to her and not leaving so much as a chicken feather behind. But the villagers take her joking words seriously and actually invite the neighbor, Auntie Cui Zhi, over.

+++"Nuanyi, Auntie Cui Zhi is here. Hurry up and ask if she wants a daughter-in-law."

+++The neighbor's only son enlisted at eighteen. They say he's a high-ranking officer, and he's rarely home. After marriage, she'd be living with her parents-in-law and three children.

+++That's much better than going home to live with her stepmother.

+"Auntie, would it be all right if I became your daughter-in-law?"

++Auntie from next door is already socially anxious. Now she's trembling under everyone's stares, clutching her little granddaughter. "I... I... can't make that decision..."

++"If you can't decide, send your son a telegram!"

++++The neighbor meekly nods. "All right... wait here. I'll have Ningning's grandpa send a telegram right away."

+++Han Xiuyuan, who has only just arrived at his new post, receives a telegram from home: "Come back at once. Someone's shown up asking to be your mother!"

+++

++After the wedding.

+The man who said he would be away from home most of the time starts hovering around her every day.

+"The busy season is over. Aren't you going back to your post?"

++"I have to go back. Do you want to come with me?"

++++He's going to an island. That's her kind of place. She's tempted.

After Transmigrating into the Concubine Who Was Robbed of Her Wedding

Gan Ning transmigrates into a book, but the story diverges from the original. Her legitimate older sister is making a scene and insisting on stealing her marriage match.

+In the original story, Gan Ning falls in love at first sight with the Duke of Qi's illegitimate son. When she marries, she's registered under her legitimate mother, making her almost a legitimate daughter and bringing honor to her family. In public, she and her husband are a loving couple, but in private her in-laws mistreat her and her husband carouses, making her life miserable.

++

++"Gan Ning has a child without even knowing who the father is. How can she marry into the Duke of Qi's family? Father, give him to me instead."

++"Since you want him, Sister, I'll let you have him."

+++Gan Ning thinks she can cast off this troublesome marriage and live a carefree life, but her legitimate older sister makes things difficult and forces her to live at an estate outside the city.

++++Her mother, who has always been as delicate as Daiyu, insists on getting a divorce and taking her far away.

++++

+++Two delicate young women, both as fragile as Daiyu, arrive in Yuyang City thousands of miles away, bringing along a five-year-old boy.

+++They say they're opening a restaurant, but no one passing by believes a slender young woman with a tiny waist and delicate wrists can even lift a wok.

+++The little restaurant grows more and more popular. When it becomes a grand establishment, people can't help admitting that the young woman really does know what she's doing.

++++Wei Su notices Gan Ning the day she arrives in Yuyang City. At first, he just thinks she looks familiar and finds himself paying attention to her. Later, more and more people fall for Gan Ning, and he starts to feel threatened.

++"Miss Gan, I injured myself when I was young and serving in the army. I may not be able to father a child. Could you give me a chance to be a dad?"

+++Later, Gan Ning rubs her belly and curses at the children around her: "Wei Su, you actually lied to me!"
