Only after Zheng Yanli died did she learn that she had merely been a foil to the heroine of a period novel.
In the original book, the two women married brothers from the same family to highlight the heroine. The elder brother, Yan Jun, was a promising soldier. Zheng Yanli married him and had four daughters, but was widowed just a few years later. She worked tirelessly for her husband's family, yet never won their genuine affection. In the end, even her mother-in-law caused the death of her third daughter.
Driven to desperation, Zheng Yanli took her three daughters north and started a street-stall business. After finally raising them, her second daughter was beaten to death by her husband, her eldest daughter became a murderer, and her fourth daughter was in a car accident.
The heroine married the younger brother, who had once been nothing but a good-for-nothing. No one expected him to become the richest man in the country. They had a pair of genius twins: one attended Peking University to serve the nation, while the other went to Tsinghua to inherit the family business. They lived a life of success and prosperity.
People who knew Zheng Yanli and the heroine couldn't help sighing, "They were sisters-in-law from the same family and grew up in the same village. How did Yanli end up with a life like that?"
When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn at twenty-seven. The first thing she did once she came to her senses was kick out her husband, a hopeless mama's boy.
She was done being anyone's foil. She wouldn't do it, no matter what.
Reader note: The heroine will find love again, but not with her original mama's-boy husband. The story spans a long period of time.
Next upcoming novel:
At university.
Everyone thought that if Jiang Yuan and Shang Xianqing hadn't attended the same university, they would never have had anything to do with each other in their lives.
Shang Xianqing was the heir to a wealthy family, with a face so stunning it could bring ruin to a kingdom. People only dared admire him from afar.
Jiang Yuan was a small-town test-taking ace, the only college student in three generations of her family. Her looks were ordinary, even a little country-looking.
And yet the two of them got together.
On A University's campus forum:
"A toad really wants to eat swan meat. Can someone lend Jiang Yuan a mirror so she can take a look at herself?"
Everyone waited to see when they'd break up. No one expected them to date for three whole years.
Just when people were marveling that Jiang Yuan had something special about her, the two of them broke up without warning.
And Jiang Yuan was the one who dumped Shang Xianqing.
The two meet again in the workplace.
By then, Shang Xianqing has become a ruthless, decisive force in the business world.
He looks at Jiang Yuan coldly and distantly. "You left without a word last time. Why have you come back now?"
In the car, Jiang Yuan gazes at him fervently. "To eat swan meat one more time."
The icy-faced man gives her a mocking look and can't help retorting, "Jiang Yuan, who do you think you are? You think I'm still eighteen and easy to fool?"
That night, in a five-star hotel room...
He holds her off the ground in his arms, his eyes red, keeping her from moving as his voice trembles.
"You only want to eat it one more time?"
Theme: Women should be self-reliant.
What a useless man, what have you been doing?
Okay, come on, author~ I've read a lot of period novels recently. The heroine, children, and hero you wrote have very good characters and characters. It's very well written.
I feel so frustrated???? I have been waiting for a divorce since I finished reading a few chapters, but nothing happened. After I skipped to read it, there were no more enjoyable chapters. Why is the heroine's personality still a bitch after her rebirth? Don't you hate the Yan family? OAO, it was the Yan family that caused the misfortune she and her daughter had in their previous lives. Don't you hate this? If I were the heroine, I would even hate Yan Jun, my ex-husband! It was his mama's boy and his inaction that led to what happened in his previous life. If his family didn't shed a layer of skin, they would be sorry for the next life!
Shen Ping will regret that he does not have children of his own
What a stupid plot. Letting the ex-mother-in-law stay at home was a big deal.
This chapter feels like the law of time is a bit sudden
Angry╰_╯I must give you a slap in the face in this life, these gang of banquets eat human blood without spitting out bones.
If I have the energy, I hope to see Yanli live to the age she was in her previous life, and want to see the comparison after she lives a different life again.
In college. Everyone thinks that if Jiang Yuan and Shang Xianqing hadn't gone to the same university, there would never have been any intersection in their lives. Shang Xianqing, the prince of a wealthy family, has a face that brings disaster to the country and the people, so people only dare to look at him from a distance. Jiang Yuan works as a topic writer in a small town. It took three generations of his family to produce such a college student. His appearance is ordinary and even a bit rustic. It just so happened that the two of them were together. On the University A campus post bar: "It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat. Can anyone lend Jiang Yuan a mirror to look at it?" Everyone was waiting for when they would break up, but they didn't expect that the two had been dating for three years. Just when everyone was sighing that there was something good about Jiang Yuan, the two broke up without warning. It was Shang Xianqing who Jiang Yuan dumped. The two met again in the workplace. At that time, Shang Xianqing had already transformed into a decisive man in the shopping mall. He looked at Jiang Yuan with a cold face and said distantly: "Since you left without saying goodbye before, why did you come back this time?" In the car, Jiang Yuan's eyes were intense: "To eat swan meat again." I saw the cold-faced man with a mocking look on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Jiang Yuan, who do you think you are? You still think I'm eighteen and so easy to deceive." Night, five-star hotel room. She was embraced in the air by a man with red eyes, holding her down and not moving, his voice trembling. "Do you just want to eat it again?" Copywriting two: "Jiang Yuan always thought that she was a tiger shark in the ocean and a Barbary lion on the grassland, but when she landed on land, she turned into a toad."
Don't finish it! Not enough!!!
