You Zheng transmigrated into a book, becoming a disposable, dimwitted character in a melodramatic rich-family novel. She was sent to marry Jiang Chengyan, the Jiang family's deranged illegitimate son.
In the original story, Jiang Chengyan was antisocial and sinister, a genuine lunatic. Unable to stand the male and female leads, he set the Jiang family home on fire. The leads escaped unharmed, but he and You Zheng died in the blaze.
On their wedding night, in a body she still wasn't used to, You Zheng pointed at him and said in a babyish voice, “Jiang Chengyan, don't play with fire.”
Jiang Chengyan: “?”
In his previous life, Jiang Chengyan had been forced to do all sorts of idiotic things. It wasn't until the flames engulfed him that he learned he was a character in a book, and that his only purpose was to help the protagonists get together.
Given a second life, he had only one goal: pretend to be crazy, bide his time, and make everyone who had trampled on him and his mother pay.
To him, the dimwitted girl sent by the You family was an unnecessary nuisance. He had no intention of dealing with her and wanted only to keep her out of his world.
Then he noticed the adoration in You Zheng's eyes. “What a handsome, well-built young man. Such a shame he's crazy. No matter, I'll take care of it.”
Jiang Chengyan: “...?”
Are you sure she's an idiot?!
What do you do when your husband is a pitiful, unwanted underdog? Of course you stand up for him!
You Zheng used her status as an idiot to do whatever she pleased.
The male lead had just mocked Jiang Chengyan when You Zheng accidentally knocked over her coffee, soaking the important contract he'd just signed.
A rival had just humiliated Jiang Chengyan at a banquet when You Zheng slipped with a cake in her hands and crashed into the rival's expensive bespoke suit.
A bratty underling had just slandered Jiang Chengyan in front of his father when You Zheng accidentally scattered some papers, revealing the underling's hidden failing exam...
Jiang Chengyan (seriously): He must be madly in love with me.
You Zheng (relieved): The kid's all grown up. I can finally bow out.
At last, Jiang Chengyan became independent of the Jiang family, and his career got on track. None of it would have been possible without the dimwitted girl who had always been there, quietly nudging things along.
He wanted to tell her he wasn't really crazy, but then he discovered that she was secretly plotting something too.
Jiang Chengyan: I'll wait and see. She must be planning a surprise for me.
But who could have guessed? The dimwitted girl had vanished without a trace!
At the same time, he found a divorce agreement in his drawer, complete with a perfect imitation of his handwriting and his fingerprint...
Jiang Chengyan: “???”
