Xu Yanmi, a wealthy young lady, catches her scumbag boyfriend cheating, but while tearing into the other woman and putting her boyfriend in his place, she accidentally falls down the stairs.
When she wakes up, she discovers not only that she has transmigrated to the Republic of China era, but that she has become a cannon-fodder character with the same name in a domineering CEO novel she used to read when bored.
In the original story, she was practically a textbook-level doormat.
But childhood sweethearts could never beat a newcomer who appeared out of nowhere. The pure-hearted heroine got there first, and Xu Yanmi died with regrets.
Xu Yanmi transmigrates just as the hero and heroine are head over heels for each other: ...Honestly, I haven't felt this humiliated since the day I was born!
So the first thing she does after recovering from her head injury is find her scumbag fiance and break off their engagement. Then she happily goes back to being a young lady.
Cheng Tingnan is the youngest marshal in the Huainan region.
Besides his brilliant military record, his family is also a famous old clan. By all accounts, a man with credentials like his shouldn't still be single in his late twenties.
Outsiders say that Marshal Cheng has a face as beautiful as fine jade, but his icy personality is enough to scare off any young woman.
They don't know that his privileged upbringing actually makes him much more tolerant of certain things, such as someone persistently pursuing him.
"Cheng Tingnan, I'm rich, beautiful, and supportive of your work. How many good girls like me can there be in all of Huainan? Just give in and marry me!"
"...I don't think I'm such a beast that I'd entertain feelings for a little girl who doesn't even know what love is."
But later, as the bright young woman outgrew her innocence, even the cold Marshal Cheng could no longer resist her warmth and vivacity.
"I was born with a love of mountains and waters. When I open a scroll, the mountains look as sweet as honey."
In the end, the young woman became a sweetness meant for him alone.
