The Rough-Hewn Country Husband Is Actually the Real Young Master from a Period Novel

[Transmigration into a book + period setting + cannon-fodder heroine + villain + reborn supporting character]

Through a careless mistake, Shen Shuyao transmigrates into a period novel she read not long ago, becoming the vicious wife of the book’s great villain.

The villain, Gu Zhizhou, was the son of a senior executive at a conglomerate, but at the age of six he was kidnapped and taken to the countryside, where he became the Xu family’s adopted son.

Heartbroken, the Gu family adopted a child from a distant relative and treated him like their own son. He was the male lead of the original novel.

After Gu Zhizhou later learned the truth about his background and returned to the Gu family, the two men fought each other openly and behind the scenes.

The cannon-fodder character Shen Shuyao transmigrated into was a notorious, overbearing village woman who had tricked and forced Gu Zhizhou into marrying her when they were young and living in the countryside.

After committing all sorts of misdeeds, she eventually ended up in prison.

As luck would have it, Shen Shuyao transmigrated into the book just as she was about to sell Gu Zhizhou’s niece to human traffickers!

To change her fate, she has no choice but to embark on the road to redemption.
