Jiang Mu transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder character whose family marries her off to Pei Tinglan, a former major villain who is now a paralyzed man in a vegetative state, in a marriage meant to bring him good fortune.
The book describes the former Pei family heir like this:
Beautiful and cruel, gloomy and obsessive, with an antisocial personality, and the sort who'd eat a person without spitting out the bones.
He was paralyzed in a car accident at a young age, which could be considered reaping what he sowed.
A villain paired with a villain: the cannon-fodder, a mere tool in the story, devotes herself to the female lead. She throws a fit and refuses to marry before the wedding, then cheats constantly afterward, even secretly abusing Pei Tinglan when he can't fight back.
In the end, the righteous female lead settles accounts with her one by one. On the day she's driven out of the house, she runs into robbers and dies a miserable death.
Jiang Mu: No way.
Jiang Mu: Getting married is fine, but dying is not. I'll save enough money and then make a run for it.
On the day she transmigrates into the book, Jiang Mu cheerfully accepts the engagement and moves into Pei Tinglan's huge mansion without making a fuss.
When no one is around:
By day, Jiang Mu performs one-woman comedy routines. At night, she belts out karaoke, uses the big shot as a model while having a blast playing dress-up, and, when she's tired, hugs him like a pillow and goes straight to sleep.
When visitors come:
Jiang Mu puts on a sorrowful face, begs for money, and whines through her tears:
"Boo-hoo, I'm heartbroken every day, crying my eyes out. Give me a little more. I'm such a pitiful lonely wife, left all alone in an empty house. QAQ"
Pei Tinglan, who regained his senses early one morning: ...?
.
As the days pass in comfort, Jiang Mu's savings keep reaching new heights.
Then one day she wakes up to find that the gloomy big shot, who was supposed to remain paralyzed until the end of the book, has suddenly recovered completely.
His black hair falls like a waterfall, his cold eyes and brows soften like snow melting. As he slowly kisses her, he starts undoing her clothes.

After becoming paralyzed, Pei Tinglan completely lost control of his body, but gradually regained the ability to hear and sense his surroundings.
Every day, he was surrounded by crying, complaints, sighs, and scorn.
Until one day, a new voice appeared.
"Hi. Starting today, I'm your wife."
?
How absurd.
Every day after that, this absurd wife told her stories, played games with her, and even had to hug her to fall asleep.
She drove away the darkness and brought back the light.
Since the other person loved her so much and couldn't bear to be without her,
Pei Tinglan thought, she could perhaps, with some reluctance and great magnanimity, accept this absurd wife.
.
On the first day Pei Tinglan, who had long since regained the ability to move, finally stopped pretending and officially returned to full health,
the bedroom in the huge mansion was empty, with no one in sight.
"Miss Jiang... left a note. She said she'd saved enough for her retirement, and was making her escape while she still could."
Pei Tinglan: ?

Theme: Love yourself and others.
