As the vicious female side character of a local aristocratic family, Su Shan has always bullied the weak and cowered before the strong, picking on whoever seems easiest to push around.
Take her live-in husband, for example. He is quite handsome, but quiet and timid, and Su Shan has made his life miserable.
Eventually, she got tired of him and drove him away with a divorce agreement.
Then one day, Su Shan discovered that the ex-husband she had despised was actually the story's biggest villain. Among the many factions raising armies in rebellion, he was the most powerful warlord, and his forces were marching straight toward her.
He had slaughtered countless people, was bent on claiming the throne, and opposed the male and female leads.
She didn't see Lin Zhi again until the city fell and she was taken away in chains as a suspected spy.
Her ex-husband, dressed in black, was surrounded by his subordinates as they discussed important matters. The moment he saw her, his expression turned incredibly complicated.
The world is vast, but staying alive matters most.
"Dear husband~" Su Shan clung to her ex-husband's trouser leg without a shred of shame, weeping and repenting. "Every day since you left, I've thought of you. I missed you so much I couldn't sleep, and I've lost a whole lot of weight!"
The officers and generals in the tent stared at this shameless woman, their faces uniformly shocked and bewildered.
Lin Zhi: ...
Lin Zhi had been a villain lurking in the shadows, cold and ruthless.
Until one day, he met Su Shan.
This woman was shameless and knew how to bend with the wind. After they married, she bossed him around. After their divorce, she could still cling to him without a hint of shame and say she loved him.
He reluctantly let her stay, thinking he would make her reflect on her behavior.
Though he had told her to reflect, she still flaunted her status and strutted around the camp. Somehow, he just couldn't bring himself to get angry with her.
Just as the villain was at his lowest, surrounded and attacked by the protagonist, Su Shan ran away again.
Su Shan: The world is vast, but staying alive matters most. The villain is bound to be defeated by the protagonist, so I'd better get out while I can.
Lin Zhi: He's the one getting screwed over here!
