Jiang Lai transmigrates into a novel.
.
Unfortunately, she becomes the ill-fated youngest daughter of a cannon-fodder family—a character who dies young and tragically.
.
In the original story, after the villainous cousin (the female lead’s foil) steals the original owner’s job and returns to the city, the Jiang family spirals into ruin:
- The original owner is beaten to death by her abusive husband.
- Her parents, unable to curry favor with their superiors, are targeted at work and forced into early retirement.
- Her eldest brother loses his right arm after a workplace accident caused by excessive overtime.
- Her second brother is framed by his so-called friends, takes the blame, goes to prison, and his wife divorces him, aborts their child, and remarries with their young daughter.
- Her third brother’s longtime fiancée suddenly marries someone else.
- The once-happy Jiang family falls apart, each member suffering an even more miserable fate than the last.
.
Then Jiang Lai opens her eyes…
.
…right in the middle of a showdown with the villain.
She’s been falsely accused of having an illicit affair.
.
She has only two choices:
- Accept the accusation, receive a major disciplinary punishment, and lose her reputation.
- Or surrender her hard-earned job to the villain…
