Jiang Qiuyue transmigrated into a novel—becoming the short-lived first wife of the male lead in a period novel.

The original host toiled tirelessly for her husband’s family, believing in selfless dedication and enduring hardship now for future happiness—only to work herself to death, leaving the benefits for others.

Having died from overwork in a corporate job in her past life, Jiang Qiuyue declares: *This lifetime, no one can make me overexert myself again!*

Housework? Whoever wants to do it can do it. Her husband’s salary? She spends it on herself first, then the children.

She pampers herself meticulously:

– Can’t buy snowflake cream? She writes to her husband to get it for her.

– Runs out of living expenses? She writes to urge him to work harder.

– Can’t find seasonal fruits? Again, she writes to her husband…

Lin Zhengrong, away from home for five years, has been receiving frequent letters from his hometown lately.

He and his wife had an arranged marriage with no emotional foundation. Seeing the increasingly frequent letters, he decides to return home to check on things.

As soon as he walks through the door and sees a fair-skinned, stunning woman lounging in a chair, he thinks he’s in the wrong house…

Within two days of being back, three different men have tried flirting with his wife.

Lin Zhengrong: She’s following me to the army. No discussion.

Back at the military base, when Lin Zhengrong’s comrades hear that Jiang Qiuyue is joining him, they don’t react much.

After all, every time he mentioned her, all he ever said was, “plain and simple.”

But when Jiang Qiuyue arrives at the family compound, they’re all stunned.

One of Lin Zhengrong’s closer friends pulls him aside, eyes wide in envy:

“Bro… did you remarry?”

Lin Zhengrong, grinding his teeth: “She’s my original wife!”

Comrades: We want a ‘plain and simple’ wife like that too!
