Gu Baiyu didn't learn until the moment she died that she was only a supporting female character in a transmigration novel.
The real protagonist was her concubine-born younger sister, Gu Ruanuan, who had transmigrated from another world!
Even her death was just to make way for the great love between her younger sister and her husband!
Reborn once, Gu Baiyu refused to play along with her husband's sweet talk and her younger sister's attempts to set them up!
Why should she sacrifice herself for someone else's love?
Wouldn't it be better to marry her husband's elder brother, become the mistress of the marquis's estate, and have the male and female leads kneel and serve her tea, calling her Eldest Sister-in-Law?
So she sought out Xiao Yanlin, the renowned God of War of the Great Ye.
“I am the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's family. I'm eighteen and of marriageable age, and my heart has begun to stir. I want to marry you. Will you... take me as your wife?”
Of course he did. And not only did he marry her, he doted on her, too.
“I am over ten years her senior. Since I've plucked this delicate flower, I ought to cherish her.”
After their marriage, Gu Baiyu held full authority over the marquis's household, and the Northern Frontier Marquis, more than ten years her senior, pampered her beyond measure!
As for her concubine-born younger sister who had transmigrated from another world...
Sorry, who says a proper young lady can't completely outshine a transmigrated heroine?
[One-on-one romance, happy ending, sweet story, clear-headed leads]
[Fatherly doting husband X sweet-faced, black-hearted grudge-holder]
Nice
It's great; there's no trace of contrived writing, it draws you in naturally. I love reading this kind of thing. I've added it to my favorites. Keep up the good work, author!
