Xie Wanyang wakes up to find herself as the original wife of the book's great villain.
The original wife was the real heiress in a story about a real and fake heiress. She was brought home only to take the fake heiress's place and marry the future villain, who was about to lose power.
She never got to enjoy even a single day of wealth.
Then her father coaxed her into poisoning the villain.
In the book, after the poisoning was discovered, the original wife was torn apart by five horses.
Unfortunately, Xie Wanyang transmigrated a little too late.
She had already replaced the fake heiress and married the future villain, and the poison had already been administered.
Xie Wanyang: ...
She knows the world will soon descend into chaos.
With no strength to even truss a chicken, Xie Wanyang thinks it over. Now that she has a second chance at life, she doesn't want to live in poverty again.
How can she thrive in the coming age of chaos?
Xie Wanyang decides that choosing the right leader is crucial.
In the book, the great villain subdued the realm and ruled as a tyrant for several years, even with poison affecting his mind. Without the poison, the male lead probably wouldn't have stood a chance.
Xie Wanyang decides to invest early and firmly cling to the villain's coattails.
The first step is to fix the villain's one weakness: prepare an antidote.
Later, peace returns to the realm.
A new dynasty is established, and two sovereigns rule together.
The founding era is one of peace and prosperity, with calm seas, clear skies, tranquility throughout the land, and bountiful harvests.
Xie Wanyang never expected that she and the great villain would go from being commoners hoping for a full meal on the road to exile to becoming the emperor and empress who feed the people, usher in a golden age, and rule the realm together.
As for the original wife's family, she had crushed them long ago in the mines of the southern lands.
