Marrying the Early-Death Powerhouse in a Period Novel

After working herself to exhaustion, intern doctor Jiang Fu became the unlucky real daughter in a period novel.

In the book, the reborn fake daughter, who was the female lead, was supposed to steal her parents, fiance, friends, job, and anything else she could get her hands on. Jiang Fu was also expected to be a model fool, constantly courting disaster in new and creative ways until she became a laughingstock and died miserably in the street.

Jiang Fu: Thank you so much.

I've used up all my kindness just by not flipping the table. Whoever wants this busted plot can have it.

The neighbors in the compound recently noticed that Jiang Fu had changed.

She dressed more modestly, greeted people first, stopped picking fights with her "little sister," and gave up chasing her fiance. They'd even heard that she'd passed the exam to become a medical orderly and wanted to be a doctor.

The fake daughter sneered: That idiot can barely read. Does she think she can steal my man just because she got a job as a doctor through connections? How ridiculous!

The fiance was annoyed: She's definitely up to something again! In a couple of days, she'll come crying and begging me to take her back. So annoying!

Jiang Fu's parents were overjoyed: At last, we can find our Fu a good husband!

One day, Jiang Fu went to the supply cooperative to buy vinegar and came across an auntie who had collapsed.

Perhaps her image as she performed first aid and directed the scene was so impressive that it stunned the commander's wife, who happened to be passing by. She immediately offered to arrange a match for her.

The commander next door had a third son, Lu Yuan, a shining star among the compound's young men. His reputation was so great that even Jiang Fu, who had only transmigrated here recently, knew about him.

Jiang Fu didn't think she was good enough for him and didn't want to waste a good man's time. But... she vaguely remembered the book mentioning that Lu Yuan had died especially young.

She was deeply sorry that a hero would die, but if she was going to be forced to marry, becoming a widow would at least offer a way out.

Later, a few misunderstandings arose.

Lu Yuan: She's so good to me. She must love me very much.

Jiang Fu: Aw, he doesn't have long to live. I should make sure he gets plenty of good food.

A friendly reminder: Lighthearted, set in a fictional world, and focused on everyday family life.

Upcoming story: Who Killed Me? [1990s Criminal Investigation]

Meng Jin had recently been having the same dream over and over. In it, someone carried her corpse and buried it in a pit on a deserted mountain. Another man's corpse was buried beside hers.

She had assumed she was dreaming about it because she'd been reading too many case files while studying for exams.

But when she went to report for duty at the Public Security Bureau, a man walked toward her, and she froze on the spot.

Th-this, this is the man who was buried beside me in my dream!

Criminal Investigation Captain Jiang Zhen had recently felt like someone was spying on him. After a long search, it turned out to be the unit's new "rising star."

The young woman spoke in a hushed, mysterious voice: "Captain, be careful when you go out."

Jiang Zhen: "?"

Notes:

A case-of-the-week crime investigation story, focused on the main plot, not scary.
