Heiress Zhu Man is hit by a car and wakes up as a spoiled, cannon-fodder supporting character in a male-oriented novel set in the 1980s.

Zhu Man secretly rejoices. Once Lu Ye becomes a business tycoon and then dies young, she’ll inherit his fortune and live the good life.

But why is her money-box husband getting healthier by the day?

Lu Ye’s leg is no longer lame, he talks more, and he dotes on her even more…
