After Entering an Era Novel, My Archrival Became My Wife

A simple-minded, abstractly cheerful puppy x a guiding, scheming, motherly bottom

Cheng Yili stayed up late and got up early, grinding away for half a month. Just as she finished her thesis and hit the button to check it against the CNKI database, everything went black, and she keeled over dead.

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in a wheat field. A System popped up in her mind and informed her that she had transmigrated into a book.

Not only had she transmigrated into a book, she'd ended up in the 1980s. Looking at the two-room shack with its broken tile roof and her two pitifully skinny younger sisters who never got enough to eat, she realized she was the only able-bodied worker in the family.

Worse still, when the door of the dilapidated little house opened, her wife appeared, with the exact same face as her academic nemesis, Fu Peici. Biting her lip, she called out to Cheng Yili in a soft, delicate voice, "Wifey."

The System told her: Sorry, Host. There are two pieces of news for you, one good and one bad.

First, due to a System error, you were bound by mistake.

Second, as compensation, you'll receive a golden finger. Your wife will become a wealthy businesswoman in the future. Just keep her happy, and you'll be able to live the good life.

Cheng Yili: ...?

Aren't both of those bad news?

And don't you do background checks before sending people into books? My nemesis is straight!!!

The shameless System disappeared as soon as it gave her the mission, leaving Cheng Yili with crying, hungry sisters, a half-collapsed home, and a frail wife.

Just thinking about how her nemesis, Fu Peici, would become a wealthy businesswoman while she herself had to rely on her wife to get ahead made Cheng Yili furious.

Whoever wants this stupid mission can do it themselves!

In a fit of rage, Cheng Yili immediately decided to pack her things and flee to the city. But she had barely gone a few steps before she tumbled into a pit with a thud. Fu Peici pulled her out.

On her second escape attempt, a flash flood blocked her in a cave. Fu Peici dug through the rubble and rescued her.

The third time was even more ridiculous. The moment she thought about running away, Fu Peici grabbed her by the hem of her clothes, and a bolt of lightning struck right in front of her.

Cheng Yili: I understand now.

The survivor suddenly realized something and turned to look at Fu Peici, who had tears in her eyes.

She tentatively tried moving a little closer.

[Ding! System reward: All pain and injuries healed.]

Cheng Yili: ?

She tried holding her hand.

[Ding! A tip from your little fortune pouch: The college entrance exam policy has been reinstated. Host is advised to make the most of her strengths.]

Then what if she kissed her...

[Ding! Your first round of start-up capital has been issued.]

So that's how you use a golden finger!

Cheng Yili: The old saying is true. Love your wife, and you'll prosper!

One morning,

Fu Peici opened her eyes and found herself in a whole new world.

The first thing she saw was a cheap rental apartment. Her left arm had gone numb from being pinned down. Looking down, Fu Peici saw that her academic nemesis, Cheng Yili, who had just bragged yesterday that she'd be the first to finish and then slap her thesis in Fu Peici's face, was asleep in her arms.

The person who felt her move instinctively tightened her embrace and murmured, half-asleep, "Wifey..."

Notes:

1. Academic rivals become wives.

2. Fu Peici is considerate, gentle, and guiding at first. After she transmigrates, she becomes more scheming and controlling, turning into a real mommy type.
