Tang Xi transmigrated into a book and became the vicious wife of a hunter, with a pretty little girl as her daughter.
And her hunter husband was something else.
He was unshaven, with thick, lush hair that left only his eyes and nose visible. He was burly and could carry a pig with one hand.
Remembering all the things her original self had done in the book:
She'd had an affair with another man, beaten her daughter, abandoned her husband and child, and run away with a pretty boy.
In the end, she'd been swindled out of all her money and died sick and destitute in the street.
Tang Xi felt a chill run down her neck.
To keep from piling up too much bad karma, Tang Xi decided to earn merit and change her fate.
So one day, the hunter began to notice that his wife seemed different.
She was no longer gloomy. She had started smiling instead.
When their daughter accidentally dropped a bowl, Tang Xi gently soothed her hand instead of scolding or hitting her.
She also spoke softly to the kind neighbor who brought them food...
More importantly, she asked him to drive off the scoundrel who kept swindling money from their household.
Sometimes, she even asked if the wounds from his hunting hurt.
For the first time in his life, he shaved off his thick, unruly beard, as if shedding the lifeless heart he'd carried for so long.
And for the first time, the beautiful young wife blushed when she looked at him.

The Xie family was poor far and wide, the worst off in the whole region.
The walls let in the wind, and their thatched roof was blown away countless times every year.
Then one day, the Xie family's vicious daughter-in-law suddenly seemed like a different person.
Their chicks gradually grew into a flock. The barren land became fertile and rich. The drafty walls and windblown thatched hut were replaced by a grand, imposing courtyard house.
Everyone else was green with envy!
