Ye Ying is transported into a period novel as the foil to the female lead, a supporting character.
The supporting character has a pretty face, but she's lazy and difficult, and her family also has a younger brother who's a burden. She's completely delusional, thinking she has everything going for her, and competes with the female lead for the educated youth male lead. Later, she accidentally falls into the water, and the person who saves her is a notorious local hoodlum, fierce and wild, with an even worse reputation than hers.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Ye Ying calmly takes over the mess the original owner left behind and decides to make a good life for herself in this era.
But...
Why is the reality a little different from what the novel describes?
Her brother, who supposedly can't stand her and is a burden, is actually a sweet, doting little angel who adores his big sister. Her future mother-in-law turns out to be a shy, delicate beauty, and her sister-in-law is sweet and obedient. As for her notorious hoodlum fiance, just tease him a little and the tips of his ears turn red...
Ye Ying: Nice.
Everyone in Banshi Village is waiting to see Ye Ying and Ji Linfeng's marriage turn into a disaster. After meals, the talk at the village entrance is always: "A burden and a good-for-nothing? How long before they end up begging on the street?"
Unfortunately, they wait a long time but never get to see Ye Ying crying as she runs back home.
Instead, they watch in disbelief as Ji Linfeng, once a hoodlum, starts a business and becomes a big-shot entrepreneur; the Ji family's mute, dim-witted daughter turns out to be a genius; and Ye Ying gets into a prestigious university.
*
The first time Ji Linfeng sees Ye Ying, he knows that a girl like her is far too good for a poor nobody like him.
The lovely girl stands in the fields, her beautiful eyes bright and clear, her fair, delicate face lit up with a radiant smile. She seems completely out of place in this desolate landscape.
Yet this girl, whom he wouldn't even dare dream of, walks right up to him and says, "Ji Linfeng, I'll marry you. You'd better treat me well."
Ji Linfeng, who had thought he'd rot away in this place for the rest of his life, suddenly can't bear the thought of letting himself rot away.
He fights his way up, doing everything he can.
Afraid that he won't be good enough to Ye Ying.
Wild, fierce, and uneducated man X outwardly warm, inwardly aloof beauty
---- Pre-release: Reborn into a Brilliant Life (The Eighties) ----
Pei Xian has had an easy life for the first twenty years. Her family isn't rich, but they have more than enough to get by. Both her parents are factory workers, and as their only child, she works as a nurse at a military hospital, with a stable, respectable job.
On top of that, she has bright eyes, pearly teeth, and an elegant air. She's a renowned beauty in the area.
Matchmakers have practically worn down the threshold of the Pei family home, and there are more young men in the military who like her than anyone can count.
For a long time, Pei Xian has never shown any man special warmth.
That is, until Jiang Anyang is carried into the hospital with severe injuries.
This man is famous in the military for his stern, forbidding manner and his outstanding military achievements. Handsome and capable, he became a regiment commander at a young age, with a bright future ahead of him. He's captivated countless young women in the military.
Pei Xian has secretly admired Jiang Anyang for a long time, too. Unfortunately, he already has someone in his heart, so she's always watched him from afar, never daring to get close.
After word spreads that Jiang Anyang has lost the use of one leg, the beauty from the art troupe whom he loves quickly marries someone else.
Pei Xian once revered him as a hero and admired him. Now, she feels even more compassion for him. During the two months Jiang Anyang spends recovering in the hospital, she stays by his side, caring for him attentively and comforting him with gentle words.
Pei Xian's love is like a moth flying into a flame.
She doesn't care that Jiang Anyang is physically disabled, or that marrying him means following him to the distant north, a place she's never been. When he asks, "Pei Xian, are you willing to come with me?" she leaves everything behind and goes with him.
In the five years after marrying Jiang Anyang, Pei Xian manages the household, bears and raises children, and cares for her in-laws. The pampered young woman she used to be even learns to bicker endlessly with people at the market over a few cents... But even after all that, her husband remains indifferent to her. One phone call from the woman he once loved, and he rushes off to another city a thousand miles away.
Pei Xian keeps wondering whether Jiang Anyang has a heart at all. After all these years, even a stone should have been warmed by her devotion.
Her heart has grown cold, and she's finally come to her senses.
Pei Xian finally decides to divorce him, freeing both Jiang Anyang and herself.
But before Jiang Anyang can return and discuss the divorce with her, her mother-in-law shoves her, and she hits her head on the corner of a table and dies.
When she wakes again,
she's twenty years old, packing her dowry and getting ready to leave with Jiang Anyang.
Her greedy mother-in-law hasn't offered a single cent in bride price and is urging her to get more dowry money from her parents.
Pei Xian smiles without a word.
Then she quietly steps over and gives Jiang Anyang a hard slap.

Theme: Create a beautiful life through hard work
It's good to look at. It's good as it is. There's no need to add a drooping career line to the period story. Everyone is just trying to make a profit. Also, Wei and Xiaoting are really good. Can you write a story about these two? It's so cool. I knew there was something going on when they first met. The setting is also very powerful: a sinister and unruly bastard, a good guy * a naughty girl who has been bullied and born.
When will this sb brother be offline? I'm convinced, it's just a pure hindrance
In fact, I quite dislike Meng Shi. I don't even hate Wang Ya that much
It's good to watch. I hope there will be a side story about Wei Hua and Wang Ting.
For a man, ouch
I just guessed that Meng Shi would be holding him back.
Very good looking, I really like the characters of the male and female protagonists
I really admire Ye Tao, and I am very grateful to the author for not being evil because of Ye Tao's early stage. And this person was changed beyond recognition. It's very shocking. Because considering the perspective of that era, I can understand the actions of most people. But I'm really pleased that Ye Tao has this courage and determination.
Speechless, two people together
It's okay. It seems like the ligation can be untied? If you want a baby, do the surgery. If you don't want a baby, just wear it. It's indeed safer.
