Song Juan transmigrates into a period novel as a background character and cannon-fodder female supporting character. In the book, she is a cannon fodder who fails to respect herself, is bent on marrying up, and ultimately loses her life. Song Juan thinks this is terribly unfair.
To avoid becoming cannon fodder, she promptly decides to lie flat and keep her distance from the aloof male lead and the lovesick male supporting character.
Her mother says, “Sweetheart, marry a city boy! You’ll get ration coupons, and life will be wonderful!”
Song Juan says, “Too far away!”
Her father says, “Sweetheart, there’s Erwang from our village…”
Song Juan says, “Too ugly!”
Her eldest brother says, “Little sis, I have a comrade…”
Song Juan says, “I don’t like older men!”
…
“Is something wrong with our girl (little sister)?”
The Song family is worried sick about Song Juan lying flat.
Song Juan calmly says, “Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, if you think I’m freeloading, then separate me from the family!”
Hearing Song Juan say this, the whole Song family is dumbstruck. There really is something wrong with this girl!
