The Self-Awareness of a Foil Character

Wei Chi Qi had a dream. In it, she married the younger legitimate son of the Marquis of Mu and became the youngest legitimate daughter-in-law of the marquis's household.

On that same day, Bai Yueqin, the eldest grandson's wife from the main branch and daughter of the Minister of Rites, also married into the household.

Bai Yueqin was gentle and kind, and well-read. Wei Chi Qi was domineering, arrogant, crude, and uneducated.

Bai Yueqin and her husband were perfectly attuned to each other, making everyone envious. Wei Chi Qi complained about everything and treated her husband like a disgrace.

With her own efforts, Bai Yueqin won the respect of everyone in the household and took charge of the household affairs, living in splendor. Wei Chi Qi, on the other hand, was driven out of the household in a miserable state after her husband died and she went half-mad...

When she woke up, Wei Chi Qi frowned, still feeling as though she'd crossed into another lifetime.

What kind of nonsense was that? Did she look like such an idiot, the sort to make herself a stepping stone for someone else?

Fine. Since this prophetic dream had made the warning so clear, she certainly couldn't let it down. She'd have to be even more domineering and do whatever she pleased, so she could make Bai Yueqin look even better, right?

As for that tragic ending, she was the daughter of a high-ranking imperial relative and the emperor's niece, the Empress's own niece. Who did she have to fear?
