She transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder villainess who was doomed to bring about her own ruin.
The original novel was about the heroine, who had been reborn, scheming to marry the male lead, who would become rich and powerful in her previous life. She urged the original owner to elope with her scumbag husband from her previous life. They were caught, after which the heroine successfully took her place, while the original owner ended up begging at a train station.
And she had transmigrated into the original owner, the one who ended up a beggar.
Luckily, she transmigrated at just the right moment: she was about to get a letter of introduction from the production team, using a visit to her husband in the military as an excuse to elope.
So she decided to go all the way and actually bought a ticket to the military base.
He Li never expected his new bride to come looking for him of her own accord. When he fell ill, she put their past differences aside and took such attentive, thoughtful care of him. She really was virtuous and sensible.
Once he had fully recovered, his wife said, "Honey, I'm so tired. What should I do if I don't want to do the laundry?"
What should he do? Of course, he did it himself.
And once he started, there was no stopping him. Laundry, sweeping, washing dishes, looking after the baby, well...
He did everything that needed doing and that Lin Yun didn't want to do, and he even enjoyed it.
The neighbor who couldn't stand the sight of them kept making snide remarks.
But He Li didn't care. He doted on his wife, so she needed to save her strength.
Lin Yun, meanwhile, was suffering and enjoying it at the same time. There was really no way to explain it.
But when she thought of those two jerks still back in the village, not yet dealt with, Lin Yun couldn't swallow her anger. She packed up, turned on her heel, and left, leaving He Li alone at home, longing for her return night after night.
When the wife he'd been yearning for finally came back, He Li cared even less about what other people thought. What if she ran off again?
After dealing with those two jerks, Lin Yun returned and saw her man working hard at the housework. Remembering how the book described the original heroine as hardworking and capable, she nodded in satisfaction.
It was time to get down to business.
[Reading Guide]
Transmigration into a book, no real-life counterparts.
They marry first and fall in love later, growing closer over time.
They dote on each other, though the male lead dotes on the female lead a little more.
