The Villainous First Wife Is Everyone's Favorite, and the Entire Marshal's Household Begs Her to Stay

[Transmigrates into a book, mindless wish fulfillment, powerful leads, System, business, face-slapping, sweet romance.]

Xu Luxi transmigrates into a Republican-era novel as the villainous cannon-fodder ex-wife, doomed to a tragic ending.

In the original story, the male lead is born with a fate that brings death to his wives. A fortune-teller says his destiny is too powerful to be controlled, and that he'll suffer a backlash unless he finds the person fated to be his match.

So, hoping to defy fate and change her destiny, the original heroine bribes the fortune-teller, lies about having the right destiny, and marries into the Marshal's mansion, rising to the top overnight.

But she uses her supposed destiny as an excuse to cause trouble, offends plenty of people, and constantly beats, berates, and torments the male lead.

Later, the true female lead, the one who really has the destined fate, appears. The truth comes out, and the male lead divorces her and sends her to a nunnery to fend for herself.

That very night, enemies she'd offended take revenge and send her to her death.

When Xu Luxi opens her eyes after transmigrating, she sees the male lead kneeling before her and the still-hot whip in her hand. Her vision goes dark.

Looking at the System shop, stocked with everything she could need, she decides to make money and get out as soon as possible.

So she opens shops and builds factories. Clothes, perfume, lipstick, and cosmetics sell out as soon as they hit the shelves.

The young marshal needs military funds and supplies?

Xu Luxi: Consider it done.

Crates of silver dollars, all kinds of canned meat, and winter clothes are sent to the front lines.

The front lines are short on medicine, and the casualties are mounting?

Xu Luxi: Penicillin, antibiotics, anesthetics. Which do you need?

But when the day finally comes that she can run away, things take a strange turn.

A group of soldiers kneel before her, crying their eyes out as they say, "Madam, we can't live without you."

The young marshal hangs a strip of white silk from a beam. "Go ahead and leave. They'll bury me, then come join me afterward."

Xu Luxi: "..."
