Yan Chu's wealthy second-generation boyfriend of two years cheated on her.
In an instant, she went from being the beauty of A University, envied by everyone, to a laughingstock. She was so furious that she even dreamed of cursing her ex to die a horrible death!
When she woke up, she discovered that she was actually living inside a book.
Her cheating boyfriend was the male lead, and the woman he cheated with was his beloved first love. Yan Chu was merely a beautiful second female lead who appeared after the leads broke up, a disposable character whose only purpose was to move the plot along.
Seriously, how could she put up with that?!
Yan Chu remembers that the scumbag has an older half-brother, Xi Chenglü, the newly appointed CEO of Huating. He's refined and handsome, a ruthless operator, and someone the male lead can never surpass.
Yan Chu's desire for revenge takes over.
If that scumbag can cheat on her, then she can sleep with his big brother. Let's see him respectfully call her sister-in-law afterward!
Yan Chu dresses up and goes to apply for the CEO's new assistant position.
On her first day at the new company,
she sees the man sitting in the CEO's office, looking stern in his suit, and raises an eyebrow.
This man's physique and bearing are far superior to her scumbag ex's.
When she thinks it over... she doesn't seem to be losing out at all.
It isn't until later that she realizes meeting this man is the beginning of her new life.
Coming soon: After Being Matched with the Wrong Person in a Period Novel
In the spring of 1980, Ming Sui, who transmigrates into the body of a dance performer in a cultural troupe, is set up on a date by her supervisor. The supervisor thumps his chest and guarantees, "The man is Comrade Li from the logistics department. He's good-tempered and devoted to his family, a perfect match for you!"
At the same time, He Zheng, the famous "Iron-Blooded Yama" of the military district, is forced by his old commander to go on a blind date. "She's the niece of an instructor in the cultural troupe, gentle and virtuous, perfect for a workaholic like you."
On the day of the blind date, Ming Sui arrives at the state-run restaurant half an hour early. At a booth by the window, a handsome, sharp-eyed soldier is looking down at some documents. His profile is as sharply defined as if carved from a block of ice.
He Zheng looks up, and the moment their eyes meet, his gaze shifts.
"Comrade Ming Sui?"
"Uh... that's me."
Three days later, Ming Sui stares blankly at the freshly issued marriage certificate in her hands. She was supposed to be meeting a clerk from the logistics department, so how did she end up married to He Zheng, the famous Iron-Blooded Commander of the military district?
They say he's stern and imposing, uninterested in women, and has won countless battles at a young age. He's terrifying.
Ming Sui, who went on the wrong blind date, is completely stunned.
"I'm sorry you have to put up with this." On their wedding night, He Zheng undoes his uniform collar with one hand, revealing his bobbing Adam's apple. "I'll make sure to come home often."
Ming Sui thinks it's just a polite remark and prepares for a marriage of mutual respect but little affection. She never expected that the famously cold-faced Yama, who supposedly lived at the military camp, would come home for dinner on time every day.
He hands over his entire salary and savings to her, telling her to buy whatever she wants. She casually mentions how pretty a qipao is, and the very next day, a guard brings her silk to choose from. She sprains her foot practicing dance, and the hardened soldier who doesn't even furrow his brow on the battlefield carries her to the infirmary in the middle of the night.
He even holds her ankle and personally applies medicine. Only, his hand gradually wanders somewhere else...
After several months of shamelessly passionate married life, Ming Sui belatedly realizes: Why is this misarranged marriage starting to feel like it was planned all along?
Until one day, she finds a yellowed photo album in He Zheng's study.
In the picture, beside the lead dancer performing Swan Lake onstage, there's a girl who has accidentally fallen over and is crying in fright. It's Ming Sui, making her stage debut as a young girl.
Ming Sui: ???
That's the one embarrassing moment in her dance career.
Her husband kept it as a treasured keepsake :)
