Reborn in the 1980s: The Gruff Factory Director Coldly Does the Laundry

[Period setting + reborn + farming + adorable baby + cold-faced man doing the laundry literature]

After transmigrating into a book, Ji Shiyue becomes the male lead's expendable ex-wife in a period novel. She's selfish and sneaky, always stealing things, and everyone at the factory despises and hates her.

Ji Shiyue looks at the man who has finally had enough and is determined to divorce her. After weighing the situation and the pros and cons, she decides she can't let the marriage end. After all, he's rich and handsome, and if she leaves him, she'll be sold off to a fool.

Tang Yi originally thinks Ji Shiyue's attempts to mend her ways and start over are just an act. But she really does keep it up, so consistently it's as if she's become a different person: she no longer takes advantage of others or steals little things, and she even gives him advice from time to time...

Gradually, he finds that he doesn't want a divorce either.
