[Coming soon: "The Cannon Fodder of a Period Novel Starts Taking Care of Herself". You're welcome to add it to your favorites~~] Gu Yijia transmigrated into a period novel as a sickly beauty. Though frail and often ill, she was so beautiful that the factory director's son set his sights on her, leading to a truly horrible death later on. Faced with a future she could see coming from a mile away, Gu Yijia decided to give up trying. When her awful relatives tried to marry her off to the factory director's son for a hefty bride price, Gu Yijia clutched her chest and fell backward. They turned pale with fright and ran off. Her stepmother couldn't stand her and refused to feed her if she didn't work? Gu Yijia clutched her chest and collapsed again, prompting her fiercely protective sister-in-law to grab a broom and chase the stepmother's son around. After watching Gu Yijia keep stirring up trouble, deal with her awful relatives, and drive off the factory director's son, everyone thought she was destined never to marry. She'd just have to live off her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her life as an old maid. Then... Her sister-in-law took Gu Yijia along when she went to join her husband with the army, and Gu Yijia married her brother's comrade, a battle-hardened soldier who looked cold, fierce, and difficult to get along with. Everyone: ???? Someone actually wants this sickly girl? What kind of sucker would be so kind? ** After getting married, Gu Yijia felt listless every day. She was exhausted every night, only for her husband to drag her off to exercise each morning, swearing he'd keep her healthy until she was ninety-nine. For a lazy person who was "frail and often ill," it was a rough life. Fine, she'd go back to giving up. PS: Sickly beauty VS cold, tough country boy PPS: 1. A fictional period setting, very loosely based on any real era. 2. A slow-paced farming story about everyday family life. * Coming soon: "The Cannon Fodder of a Period Novel Starts Taking Care of Herself" Gu Yingtong's father died, and her mother remarried, bringing her along as a burden to her new home. The new family was pretty nice, but ever since she was little, she'd been afraid of the younger boy next door, Chi Yue. He was fierce and domineering, a classic little bully who had even scared her to tears when they were children. Who would have thought that when she grew up, she'd marry him? And that she'd still end up crying on their wedding night? After following Chi Yue to an island post with the army, Gu Yingtong had a dream and learned that she was actually a doomed bit player who died young in a stepmother-themed period novel. She was delicate and sickly, a burden on her family, and had a terrible temper. She often argued with her husband, then died of a sudden illness, becoming the laughingstock of the family compound and leaving the way clear for her stepsister, who had never gotten along with her. How could she put up with that?!!! When she woke, Gu Yingtong smiled eerily, then pinched the man sleeping beside her as hard as she could. She decided she wouldn't change a thing. She'd be a hot-tempered tyrant, refuse to fret over things, take care of herself, and live to die of old age! Chi Yue felt a little wronged. "When will my wife finally take my salary card?" Theme: Strive to survive adversity and keep looking on the bright side.
