Love after marriage, family life, raising kids, and building a fortune.

A chatterbox little money lover who only wants to make money × a scheming guy who only wants to win her heart

What should a cannon fodder villainess do when she wakes up to find that her husband isn't the same husband, and her daughter isn't the same daughter?

Li Xiuxiu says: Anyone there? I need an answer, fast!

What's standard for a cannon fodder villainess in a period novel?

A mountain of farmwork, greedy in-laws who only care about money, an emotionally distant husband, rebellious children, and an early death.

Li Xiuxiu is one of the top overachievers among the corporate drones. Since she studied literature, she kept reading after graduation, hoping to outdo her peers. She figured that if she read enough books, especially obscure ones, she'd have a chance to beat everyone else!

But when she transmigrates into a book as a cannon fodder villainess, she resolves to change all that from her very first day in this new world.

Just as she's about to make sweeping changes...

Her emotionally distant husband says, "Xiuxiu, give me a chance. I want to take care of you."

Li Xiuxiu: Meow? You call that emotionally distant? He seems pretty affectionate to me.

Her greedy in-laws say, "You're still young. You should go see the big cities. You shouldn't be cooped up in a little mountain village."

Li Xiuxiu: Meow? You call these greedy in-laws? They're quite reasonable.

Her rebellious children say, "Mom, you worked hard today."

Li Xiuxiu: Meow? You call these rebellious kids? They're sweet and well-behaved.

This doesn't quite match Li Xiuxiu's understanding of things. It seems country life is somewhere she can lie flat.

Li Xiuxiu gives it a try and discovers a whole new world!

Lying flat is great!

With her cold husband, she revokes his right to choose a partner and sentences him to life without a wife.

With her greedy in-laws, she gives them what they want until they do whatever she says.

With her rebellious children, she makes them copy the Three Character Classic to keep them in line.

Going into business is even better! She knows the direction the world is heading, so she rises straight to the top.

She puts in a little effort, then spends the rest of her time lying flat, transforming herself into a domineering female CEO.

Li Xiuxiu gives a smug villain's laugh, then suddenly remembers that a domineering CEO is supposed to make her husband chase her through hell. She turns to her emotionally distant husband beside her.

Emotionally distant husband, with puppy-dog eyes: Xiuxiu...

Li Xiuxiu thinks: Forget it. If you don't tempt fate, you won't meet disaster. Here I come, beautiful life!

But out loud, she says, "Man, I'm giving you a chance to escape me. Hurry!"

Theme: A loving couple who trust each other, supporting one another until they grow old together
