The Supporting Female Lead Is Great at Enjoying the Drama

Su Nanyue transmigrates into the wife of the male lead in a period novel, a wife who dies young. The male lead, Zhao Baojiang, is handsome and has impeccable character. He works himself to the bone for his family, willingly sacrificing himself and putting the greater good before his own household. He gives up all his family’s property and their home to pave the way for his relatives.

The original owner works hard to keep up with Zhao Baojiang, studying diligently and improving her political awareness. For twenty years, the couple toil tirelessly for their family. They see Zhao Baojiang’s parents to their graves, look after his younger siblings, raise them to be successful, and even find a wife and start a family for his younger brother. When they want to bring his younger sister and her family back to the city after she marries far away, the couple even give up their home for them.

Then the original owner falls ill and ends up homeless on the streets. When she dies, Zhao Baojiang still hasn’t scraped together enough money to send her to the hospital.

When Su Nanyue arrives, she is on a blind date with Zhao Baojiang.

The matchmaker heaps praise on him.

“Girl, if you weren’t so pretty, I wouldn’t even have brought you this match. Just look at him! He’s got character and good looks. Ask around these parts: is there any young man with more progressive ideas? If you marry him, you’ll have struck gold.”

Su Nanyue slaps the bowl in her hand down on the table. “I’m not worthy of a treasure like that. I think we should call off the marriage.”

The matchmaker helplessly shakes her hand. She’d thought they were a perfect match, but now it’s all fallen apart!

Su Nanyue: Let someone else jump into that pit. She’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.

She won’t be anyone’s mother or wife. Su Nanyue has a lovely life as a sales clerk at a state-run restaurant, and when she has some free time, she can even enjoy some gossip.

For instance, Auntie Wang learns that Su Nanyue’s blind date fell through and comes over to mock her for being unable to find a husband. Before long, Auntie Wang’s third daughter runs off with a bad man!

Auntie Wang cries in the village for three days.

Or take Zhao Baojiang, the man she went on a blind date with. He marries a young, pretty elementary school teacher, but just a few days later, the teacher gets into a fight with him! Everyone says she has no manners and backward ideas, and that she isn’t good enough for Zhao Baojiang.

And Old Zhang’s wife curses her daughter-in-law every day for being a barren hen. Then this year, the daughter-in-law has a chubby little boy, but the child looks just like Old Wang next door...

Just as Su Nanyue is getting into the gossip, Zhao Baojiang is reborn and comes knocking at her door.

“Nanyue, I’ve thought it through. Those women were too backward to be worthy of me. Only you...”

Su Nanyue: Get lost!

Theme: Confidence is the master of fate, and hard work is the source of success.
