Also known as “The Years My Boyfriend Pointed at Me and Said, ‘What Kind of Woman Are You?’” and “Witness the Power of a College Student Turned Vengeful Spirit at 8 a.m.!”
After transmigrating into a matriarchal novel as the cannon-fodder wife of the villain, Li Wu's first goal is to keep an eye on him and change the original family's fate of being exiled.
When she first transmigrates: full of fighting spirit, ready to roll up her sleeves.
Less than a week later, she looks like her life force has been sucked out of her. Her legs shake after just a few steps.
Waaah, no one told her she'd still have to go to school after transmigrating!
The villain can wait. If she doesn't take her dropping out seriously, she'll be toast before she ever gets exiled. (Tears)

Zhu Yi is known around town as Great Qing's most poisonous husband, nicknamed “Bamboo Viper.”
According to the history books, he was so beautiful he seemed almost demonic, but his heart was as cruel as a snake's. He was skilled at manipulating the political winds and took pleasure in killing. He once came within a step of usurping the throne. Unfortunately, as a man of low status, his claim to power lacked legitimacy. In the end, the whole world rose against him, and he didn't even get to keep his body intact.
Heaven has opened its eyes and given him a chance to live again. This time, he decides to strike first, pretending to give himself to Li Wu, then poisoning everyone who ever bullied him with a single packet of poison.
Everything goes very smoothly, but who would have thought that the Li Wu of this life would be even more infuriating than the one in his memories?
She stays up all night and sleeps through the morning. Before class, she wishes it were time to go home; as soon as class ends, she wishes for a vacation. Her clothes get torn every few days, so he has to mend them. She can't do her homework, so she makes him do it. The stove hasn't even been lit, and she's already sitting at the table.
Everyone is a dog to her: her classmates, her teacher, even the older sister's husband next door...
Eventually, revenge and the grudges of his past life all fade from memory.
In their place, his fists grow harder and harder.
*Unscripted mini-scene
Bamboo Viper (fierce): “If you're not going to school, then go work in the fields!”
Early the next morning.
Li Wu (full of fighting spirit, working like crazy): “We common folk have plenty of strength!”
Bamboo Viper is so angry he faints onto the bed.
Li Wu (launching herself at her wife, full of concern): “Wife! Oh, no, beautiful wife! Are you okay?”
Bamboo Viper (sitting bolt upright on his deathbed, eyes distant): “If you can't go to school, at least you can have a daughter, right?”
Li Wu (shy and bashful): “Your mind is so dirty! I'm still a kid. Kids aren't allowed to do naughty things.”
Bamboo Viper (slowly falling back onto the bed, a huge cartoon tear running down his cheek, pounding the mattress):
“You useless thing! What kind of woman are you? What kind of woman?!”
[Reading guide]
1v1, boy-girl romance, male pregnancy, and a coming-of-age heroine. Note: she is not a strong female lead. Farming in the first half, imperial exams in the second.
The writing is amateurish, and a lot of space will be spent describing going to school and coming home, eating, sleeping, and other mundane family matters. The heroine is very silly. She becomes a little more mature later, but not by much. Also, readers who like career-driven protagonists, take note: aside from the palace examination, the heroine barely scrapes by at the bottom of the rankings in every stage of the imperial exams.
Wu is one of the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, the Maiden Mansion, symbolizing women's wisdom and the balance of strength and gentleness.
