After awakening her memories, Jiang Wan realizes she has transmigrated into the tragic original wife of the male lead.
According to the plot, she’s destined to endure a scheming, endlessly troublesome mother-in-law; a husband whose heart belongs to someone else; a son who prefers another woman as his mother; and a delicate “white lotus” widowed foster sister-in-law who’s pregnant with her husband’s child. One by one, they suppress her, force her into divorce, drive her into depression—until she’s pushed to jump into a well and end her life, all to make way for her husband and that widowed foster sister.
But after Jiang Wan’s memories awaken, the man hasn’t yet changed his heart, and the child has only just been born—yet she quits the whole script on the spot.
She has no intention of spending a lifetime living in misery.
So she decisively abandons her husband and child, heads to the army to seek refuge with her elder brother, and becomes a college student in the 1960s.
Her beauty is restored, stunning everyone. She writes articles that get published in newspapers, heals the sick and saves lives, earns the leaders’ favor and is treated as an honored guest. Newspapers compete to interview her, military hospitals want her on their staff, and she draws two salaries a month. One outstanding man after another sets his sights on her.
Then—the father and son she abandoned reappear.
The man is not only a high-ranking military commander, but also becomes her patient.
Good news: She abandoned the wrong husband—she didn’t marry the scumbag male lead at all, and the child’s father never recognized her.
Bad news: The child’s father despises women who abandon their husbands and children and forbids anyone from mentioning her in front of the child.
Even worse news: The child’s father seems to have his eye on her… and plans to make her the child’s stepmother.
