Reborn as the Koi Wife of the Male Lead in an Imperial Examination Novel

When Fang Qingqing was on the verge of death, she unexpectedly got a System. If she completed its missions and earned enough points, she could come back to life.

The original owner was the Fang family's only precious daughter, and should have been the most pampered person in the family.

Hoping to get his youngest son a wife, Old Man Fang went exploring in the mountains, only to fall and break his leg.

With her foolish son sniveling because he was about to lose his chance at a wife, and her husband lying gravely ill in bed, Fang's mother gritted her teeth and promised the original owner to the sickly scholar in their village for eight taels of silver, hoping the marriage would bring him good fortune.

When Fang Qingqing arrived, the original owner had just thought her parents were going to sell her. In a fit of despair, she had hanged herself. Fang's mother clutched her unconscious daughter and sobbed:

“Qingqing, I only wanted everyone in the family to survive.”

But Fang Qingqing, with a System at her disposal, wasn't worried. She had a way to build wealth!

The first requirement for unlocking the System's features, however, was to complete the beginner mission: get married.

So when all was said and done, did she still have to marry that unlucky scholar who was close to death?

Fang Qingqing spent all her beginner points on spirit spring water to keep the scholar alive. Only after the System unlocked new features did she discover that she had entered an imperial-examination novel.

The scholar would eventually pass the highest exams, rise to high office, and bring glory to his family, while she was merely a cannon-fodder supporting character who wouldn't survive three chapters?
