[A vicious supporting woman from a period novel wakes up, gives up, and runs away VS a taciturn, broad-shouldered, long-legged, handsome regiment commander]
1.
Gu Qingrou is just like her name: a delicate little white flower. She pursued the male lead obsessively for years and did many foolish things to keep him and the female lead apart. The whole village cursed her as a madwoman, pointing fingers behind her back.
She was already frail and sickly, and after everything that happened, she grew despondent. After drowning and being reborn, she suddenly saw the light.
So she was just the vicious supporting woman in a period novel? Were all those joys and sorrows being manipulated by someone else?
Thinking back to those dark days when her heart and eyes held nothing but the so-called "male lead," she decided to lie flat and give up completely!
Fine, fine. I won't meddle in the relationship between you two trash. I'll just run away, okay?

After she ran away, the female lead showed up at her doorstep every day, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. "Darling, what did I do wrong? Why are you suddenly avoiding me?"
The male lead begged her for love, reaching out to grab her. "Don't get the wrong idea. There's really nothing between us. I only love you!"
Gu Qingrou was so fed up that she covered her ears. "Both of you, get out of my house!"

To escape their relentless pestering, Gu Qingrou turned her attention to Lu Zhaoting, who had returned to the village on leave, proudly wearing a big red flower.
In the original book, he had been secretly in love with her for years but never dared approach her, silently protecting her from the shadows.
When he learned she had died, he rushed back from the army and beat the male lead to the ground. Then he turned, knelt before her grave, and wept with regret.
Gu Qingrou nodded with satisfaction. Great, I'll pick you. Please hurry up and get me out of this village, as far away as possible from that crazy man and woman.
But before she could act, a matchmaker from the Lu family came to call, specifically asking to marry Gu Qingrou.
The unmarried daughters of the neighbors were so jealous they nearly ground their teeth to dust.
Gu Qingrou: ?
Wait, did Lu Zhaoting get reborn too?
