[Completed Novel | Set in the 1970s | Family Drama | Face-Slapping Revenge | Group Favorite]
Zhang Xiyue wakes up in a 1970s-era novel as a cannon-fodder character who shares her name—destined for a miserable death as a foil to the female lead.
In the original plot, the heroine Yang Tiantian is the pitiful daughter of a cruel stepmother and a neglectful father—a fragile little cabbage. In contrast, Zhang Xiyue was arrogant and domineering on the outside, ruthless on the inside, yet doted on by her family.
Pushed by Yang Tiantian, Wei Zhiguo tries to steal Zhang Xiyue’s job and even kidnaps her. The original Zhang Xiyue was beaten to death and nearly dumped into a river—until the current Zhang Xiyue took her place.
Now reborn, Zhang Xiyue is determined to rewrite her fate. She fights for jobs, snatches opportunities, and won’t let anyone walk all over her again.
No one expected Zhang Xiyue to agree to the broken engagement—until they learned the truth: Shen He, her fiancé, had already found someone else in another town who could boost his career.
But Zhang Xiyue has her own plans—and this time, she’ll be the one in control.
