When she woke up, Su Ying learned that she had been living in a period novel all along, where she was the original story's ultimate lovesick supporting character.
To pursue and please the male lead, she handed over the job her parents had left her to his younger sister.
She ruined the marriage prospects of her eldest brother, who had always doted on her. As a result, his bride married a wife-beater and could never have children. Her brother turned against her, and they never spoke again for the rest of their lives.
To stop her second brother, who had gone to the countryside in her place as an educated youth because he was afraid she would suffer, from returning to the city, she sold his place in the return quota to someone else. She even found him a village woman who became pregnant with his child, tying him to the countryside for life. Her family tormented him until he died.
And that wasn't all. The male lead's family were bloodsucking manipulators who pressured her into selling the house her parents had left her to pay for the male lead's university education. She stayed in their hometown, working and caring for his family, while he used her money to buy a house in the city where he went to university, married the female lead, and raised a child with her, living a happy life.
After they had squeezed every last bit of value from her, the male lead's family sold her to human traffickers, and she met a tragic end.
After being reborn, Su Ying decided to stay away from the male lead's family of bloodsuckers and treat her loving parents and brothers well.
But... why had she been reborn at the wrong time, on the very night she slept with the wrong person? And the man she'd slept with was her childhood nemesis...
Su Ying decided not to worry about it. Her childhood friend was the top scorer in the provincial exams, a military academy student, and a future high-ranking officer. She'd better cling to him first...
