The Overachiever Side Character [The 1970S]

[The System for Raising Kids in the 1970s is currently being serialized. Please add it to your collection!!!] Shen Mengjin had just received an offer from a famous company and was getting ready to make a name for herself when she got into a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a supporting female character in a novel set in the 1970s. The heroine was her twin sister: beautiful, talented, loved by their parents, and praised by everyone. Shen Mengjin, by contrast, was ordinary-looking and ordinary in ability. In her sister's shadow, she became an ugly duckling. "Just look at your sister..." The original owner's whole childhood was filled with words like these. They say people either explode or turn twisted when pushed into silence. The original owner chose the latter and began a lifelong campaign against her sister. She stole her sister's clothes, friends, and job opportunities. After her sister was sent to the countryside, she even stole her fiance... In the end, she got nothing and brought about her own death. Her sister found a good match, built a successful career, did charity work, became famous and wealthy, and enjoyed a happy marriage with children. Shen Mengjin's take: Why steal things? Isn't it better to build your own career? But when her family did everything they could to find her sister a job and demanded, as if it were only right, that she go to the countryside, she nearly went crazy, too. Is finding a job really so hard? All it takes is a recipe. Is getting a job really so hard? You just aren't competitive enough. Before reform and opening up, Shen Mengjin worked herself to the bone to get promoted. After it began, she worked herself to the bone to make money. Of course, she also remembered to flirt with a handsome young police officer, marry him, and have a child. The man in his police uniform holds their child and watches his wife working on another spreadsheet. He asks plaintively, "Honey, what's more important: making money or your boys? You haven't hugged us in two days." Shen Mengjin pulls them both into her arms. "You're both important." Just as she was getting a firm grip on both her career and her love life, her sister, the heroine, found her and demanded, "Why did you suddenly stop stealing my things?" That way, she wouldn't have married her ex-boyfriend from her previous life, who was now her husband. He had no prospects and often looked down on her. He was nothing like the husband she'd had in her previous life, who was wealthy, handsome, and treated her well. Unfortunately, this time, he'd married someone else. Shen Mengjin stares up at the sky. Only now does she realize the supporting female character's role was so important. Theme: The harder you work, the luckier you get
