At the very start of her transmigration, Shao Ping'an (Little Dumpling) comes face-to-face with the original owner's tragic death on her wedding night. She's inherited someone else's body, so she might as well help avenge her, right?
Just as she's secretly plotting revenge against everyone who caused the original owner's tragedy, she unexpectedly learns that she's transmigrated into a period novel about a stepmother raising children, and become the villainous first wife who died young. Ha! Raising an ungrateful brat is out of the question. Whoever wants the male lead can have him. Once she's gotten her revenge, she's getting out of there!
A transmigrator, a woman who transmigrated into a book, a reborn woman, and an apocalypse survivor have turned a stepmother novel into a sieve, taking turns showing off all kinds of golden fingers. Every woman is sharpening her knives, waiting for the first wife's death so the plot can begin and they can fight over the stepmother heroine's place. Who knew the first wife would dump the male lead and run off with some random guy!
Genuinely frail heroine VS handsome, devoted older man
The heroine holds grudges and gets even, either openly or on the sly. Either way, she won't put up with being wronged.
The leads experience different time gaps between their two timelines. They are four years apart in the other world, and thirteen years apart in this one.
PS: 1. The heroine is genuinely frail. The leads are strictly monogamous, with no cheating or other sensitive issues.
2. The heroine lives three lifetimes.
Theme: Never forget to serve the country.
