The Pretty Supporting Actress of the 1970s Gives Up

Handsome Rocket Scientist VS Pretty Little Tailor

Shi Jingjing is reborn as the beautiful female foil in a period novel. After marrying the second male lead, she raises their two sons on her own, educates them until they succeed, cares for her parents-in-law until their deaths, and spends forty years looking after her husband like a servant.

At last, when she's sixty, her philandering husband tells her as she lies on her deathbed, "Jingjing, I was young and didn't know how to cherish you. Only now do I realize this family can't do without you."

Her two sons, successful but unable to make it back in time to see her one last time, buy her the most expensive plot in the best cemetery. After her husband weeps bitterly at her grave, he turns around and marries his first love, the woman who spent decades entangled with him and never married anyone else.

When the glamorous female lead returns from abroad to pay her respects, she sighs, "Women shouldn't give up their careers and spend their whole lives revolving around their families. It's so sad to go from a beautiful young woman to a haggard old wife."

Shi Jingjing: ...I'll just give up and go with the flow.

Lou Ziheng is handsome and refined, but his devotion to scientific research made him miss the best age to find a partner. When he turned twenty-eight, his family issued one final ultimatum: If he didn't come home to date and find someone, they'd publish a notice disowning him.

Lou Ziheng went to the teahouse for a blind date against his will, but the moment he saw Shi Jingjing, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Shi Jingjing looks at the tall, refined Lou Ziheng and knows he's destined to become a leading rocket scientist. He's devoted to research and uninterested in romance, doesn't flirt around, and hands over his entire salary. He's the perfect husband for someone who wants to coast through marriage!

When the researchers at the rocket institute learned that Lou Ziheng, whose heart had finally thawed, had gotten married, they gathered around him after he returned to the institute to observe their married life.

"She's pretty, but so delicate she can't even open a bottle cap."

"He married a pretty ornament. At least he can feast his eyes on her."

Lou Ziheng raised his hand, showing off the delicately embroidered cuff of his shirt. "My wife made this for me. Isn't it beautiful?"

The researchers, ambushed with public displays of affection: That's enough already...
