Reborn as the Villainous Chief Minister's Child Bride

After staying up far too late, Shen Suining opens her eyes and discovers that she has transmigrated to ancient times.

From the original owner's memories, she learns that she has transmigrated into a book as the wicked female supporting character who stole someone else's identity.

In the original story, the heroine saves the male lead. While she goes back to fetch help, the villainess takes credit for the rescue. Using the debt of gratitude as leverage, she forces the male lead to marry her. Later, the heroine reveals the truth, and the male lead realizes he was deceived. With no debt of gratitude left to protect her, the villainess wastes away and dies in the male lead's household.

There's no way she's marrying him now.

But the wedding arrangements are already underway, so she can only marry the man who was supposed to be her husband in the first place.

Only, things aren't going quite as expected.

Since when did her quiet, sickly husband become the great villain who nearly killed the male lead?

Still, this villain, who's both handsome and clever, seems incredibly tolerant of her. Hmm... maybe he's not beyond saving after all.

Shen Yu comes from a farming family. He excels at poetry and prose and loves to read. A gifted young man, he passed the highest imperial examination at just seventeen. He is also graceful and flawless, with peerless looks.

His only shortcoming is his frail constitution from birth, which made him cool and detached, with a naturally aloof disposition.

To protect his life, his family chose a child bride for him. She was pampered from a young age and was both arrogant and unruly. But she wasn't bad at heart, so the family doted on her.

Until one day, she tried to take her own life so she could marry a fickle man.

Only then did Shen Yu realize that his child bride seemed to have become a different person. She abandoned the hard-won engagement and married him instead.

Shen Yu: "...I suppose there's no harm in it."

When his friends heard he was getting married, their jaws nearly hit the floor. That child bride had treated him like dirt and abandoned him to marry someone else, and he was still willing to marry her? Could this indulgent man really be Shen Qingyu, who was usually so cool and detached, and so quick to take revenge?

Shen Yu: "I'm not indulging her. She's young and was simply led astray. It's no big deal."

His friend: "..."

You don't say that about the people who've offended you.

Theme: Even when the ending seems set in stone, keep striving, face challenges head-on, and do what seems impossible.
