Gu Xueyi was born into a family of generals. In her previous life, she was the matriarch of the Sheng family, managing a household of over four hundred people with unmatched authority and prestige.
But when she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into a novel—becoming the soon-to-be-divorced ex-wife of the powerful male lead, a character destined to die early.
Looking at her husband Yan Zhao’s three misguided younger brothers and one younger sister, Gu Xueyi frowned.
Back in her day, the sons of the Sheng family could ride into battle, earn titles as generals, conquer the court, and rise as officials—every single one of them capable and accomplished.
So why were the so-called elites of this modern wealthy family so utterly useless?
Rolling up her sleeves, Gu Xueyi thought:
Whether her husband wants a divorce or not is none of her concern. The priority is to set this bunch of incompetents back on the right path!
A few months later, the missing eldest son of the Yan family returned.
Yan Wenjia, who had just won the Best Actor award, stood on stage and said:
“The person I’m most grateful to is my sister-in-law… and the one I love most is also her.”
Yan Wenshu, a well-known socialite who had just been admitted into a top university, posted online:
“The person I’m most grateful to is my sister-in-law, and the one I love most is also her.”
Yan Wenhong, who had just won a gold medal representing the country:
“The person I’m most grateful to is my sister-in-law…”
Yan Wenbo, standing at a diplomatic podium:
“The person I’m most grateful to is my sister-in-law…”
Even Yan Zhao’s former archenemy publicly stated in an interview:
“The woman I admire most is Ms. Gu Xueyi.”
All netizens: ???
Yan Zhao: ??? Am I being cheated on???
Only then did he realize that his once arrogant and detestable wife had somehow become the dream woman everyone wanted to marry—and they were all just waiting for him to get a divorce.
[Male lead: deep, calculating, and two-faced—ultimate “chasing wife to the crematorium” trope.
Female lead: charismatic, effortlessly cool, adored by all, with no interest in romance—her only goal is to cultivate talents for the nation.]
