~ Qingshi Village, the home of scholar Wang Luosheng.
Wang Luosheng’s child bride Su Wan was sleeping on the broken bed in the woodshed, looking pale and skinny.
Su Wan’s future mother-in-law Wang and future sister-in-law Wang Luoxue pushed the door open.
Su Wan is still in a coma.
Wang Luoxue looked anxious: “Mom, let’s call a doctor for her, otherwise what should we do when Master Duan comes to our house for dinner tomorrow?”
Mrs. Wang frowned: “She fainted right when we needed her for something important.”
Thinking of the importance of tomorrow’s visitor, Mrs Wang signaled Wang Luoxue with her eyes to ask for a doctor, and cursed: “We have to spend money on her, what a jinx.”
Wang Luoxue ran away in a flash, with real anxiety on her face, but it was not because she was worried about Su Wan.
Wang Luosheng’s colleague Duan Jingtian accidentally tasted the food that Wang Luosheng brought to the school and was amazed.
Upon learning that the meal was prepared by Wang Luosheng’s sister Wang Luoxue, Duan Jingtian praised Wang Luoxue’s cooking as better than that of the best chef in Qingyun County and insisted on coming to Wang’s house for a meal.
Duan Jingtian is the son of the richest family in Qingyun County.
This Mr. Duan is not only wealthy, but also handsome. Wang Luoxue had great hopes in her heart.
So Su Wan must wake up. If she doesn’t wake up, then who will make the same taste food to entertain him tomorrow.
In fact, before Wang Luoxue went out to call a doctor, Su Wan, wh
o was lying on the broken bed in the woodshed, had already woken up.
Su Wan, a business student at a key university, found herself transformed into the female supporting character of the same name in the novel which she stayed up late to read and this female supporting character is the one who hindered the love between the male protagonist Wang Luosheng and the female protagonist Yang Yunyan.
The supporting female character in the novel, Su Wan, is Wang Luosheng’s child bride. She is ignorant and clumsy, not presentable, and can only do housework. She cannot be compared with the heroine of the novel, Yang Yunyan.
Because she loves Wang Luosheng, the female supporting character uses the Wang family’s secret as a threat to marry Wang Luosheng, making Yang Yunyan, who comes from a scholarly family, a concubine, causing the heroine Yang Yunyan to suffer a lot of grievances.
After the female supporting character was divorced by the male protagonist Wang Luosheng, she married Wang Luosheng’s archenemy Shen Lin, and the two of them worked together to deal with the male and female protagonists.
After reading the novel, Su Wan discovered that this female supporting character with the same name as her was not a vicious villain at all, but was actually very pitiful.
She has been working like a slave in the Wang family since she was a child, taking care of all the housework inside and outside the family. She works to please everyone in the family and takes good care of them.
Because of her hard work, the Wang family’s mill became famous, because of her careful care, Wang Luosheng passed the imperial examination, and because of her mediation, Wang Luosheng’s career went smoothly.
However, the Wang family did not think that all of this had anything to do with the original owner. In the eyes of the Wang family, Wang Luosheng was good at studying and had a smooth career because of his natural talent, and the Wang family’s business was good because of Father Wang’s hard work.
The Wang family believed that the ragged original owner was not worthy of Wang Luosheng, who passed the imperial examinations and became a scholar. If it weren’t for the “ignorant” Su Wan who used her status as the legal wife to interfere in family affairs, the well-educated and well-mannered female protagonist Yang Yunyan would definitely be able to move the Wang family to a higher level. It was the original owner who was a hindrance.
Although Su Wan did her best to take care of everything for the Wang family, in the end, the Wang family members all praised the female protagonist Yang Yunyan, saying that Yang Yunyan was well-educated, good at managing the household, and was a good wife to Wang Luosheng.
Su Wan was very angry. This supporting character was obviously a lucky charm. Whoever she married, she would bring prosperity to the family. After all, after Wang Luosheng divorced Su Wan, she married Wang Luosheng’s archenemy Shen Lin, and that man’s business was also booming.
While reading the novel, Su Wan was thinking, with such a lucky fate, why should she love Wang Luosheng or please the Wang family? If she were the female supporting character, she would definitely leave the Wang family and find the vicious male supporting character Shen Lin in the book as soon as possible. The male supporting character and the female supporting character in the book are so good that their interaction is so touching that makes people cry.
The book mentioned that the male supporting character had suffered a lot since childhood, and she should have gone to male supporting character’s home earlier instead of staying in Wang’s family and being the vicious female supporting character.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she found herself as the child bride Su Wan.
Su Wan listened to the conversation between Wang’s mother and daughter and knew that she had traveled back to the day before Duan Jingtian went to Wang’s house for dinner for the first time, when she yet to marry Wang Luosheng.
In the novel, in order to please Wang Luoxue, the future sister-in-law, the original owner claimed that the meals she cooked and the flowers she embroidered were made by her future sister-in-law Wang, creating a reputation for Wang Luoxue as a “virtuous and kind-hearted person”, which led to people coming to propose marriage to Wang Luoxue one after another. Even Duan Jingtian, the son of the richest man, had a special respect for Wang Luoxue because of “the meals made by Wang Luoxue”.
Everyone in Qingshi Village thought that Wang Luoxue is a kind and gentle child. After all, everyone has talked about the enchanting aroma of the Wang family’s food and seen the exquisite embroidery on the Wang family’s clothes.
But in fact, all the work inside and outside the Wang family, both rough and fine, was done by the original owner, the child bride Su Wan. Ever since the original owner came to the Wang family, Wang Luoxue lived like a daughter of a wealthy family. But Wang Luoxue always looked down on Su Wan, who was dressed in rags. She and her brother’s sweetheart, Yang Yunyan, were as close as sisters.
The original owner married Wang Luosheng by threatening him with the truth about Wang Luoxue’s reputation as a “gentle and kind woman”.
The original owner received no reward for every bit of effort she gave to the Wang family. Instead, she became a vicious supporting character who hindered the relationship between Wang Luosheng and Yang Yunyan and destroyed the Wang family’s happy life.
As a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate, Su Wan would not serve the ungrateful Wang family. Shen Lin, Wang Luosheng’s archenemy, was extremely good to her, so now she just wanted to leave the Wang family and find Shen Lin.
Su Wan analyzed the current situation. At this time, the Wang family was not yet prosperous, and all the heavy and dirty work needed to be done by Su Wan. The Wang family would certainly not let Su Wan, a child bride, leave easily.
The male supporting character Shen Lin and Wang Luosheng are neighbors, and they are also extremely poor at this time. If Su Wan rashly leaves Wang’s house and goes to Shen’s house, and Wang’s family won’t let her go, the Shen’s family will also feel awkward.
Thinking of Duan Jingtian, the son of the richest man who would come to their house for dinner tomorrow, Su Wan had an idea. If she wanted to go to the Shen family, she had to find a roundabout way to find a legitimate reason to leave the Wang family completely.
Wang Luoxue’s reputation as a “gentle and kind-hearted person” is earned through orginal owner’s real abilities.
Wang Luoxue hurriedly brought the doctor back to the Wang family, only to find that Su Wan had already woken up. Since she was awake, there was no need for the doctor to treat Su Wan.
Wang Luoxue sent the doctor away, but the doctor said that he couldn’t make a wasted trip and insisted on asking for fifteen cents as a consultation fee.
Wang Luoxue had no choice but to pay fifteen cents to the doctor. Then she told Su Wan with a cold face that there would be distinguished guests at home tomorrow, and asked Su Wan to prepare eight dishes and a soup tomorrow, and to embroider peony flowers on the cuffs and collar of Wang Luoxue’s new clothes before tomorrow morning.
Mrs Wang, who was known for her thriftiness, learned that she had wasted fifteen cents on Su Wan and started cursing in the yard.
”Su Wan, you are such a jinx. You have caused so much trouble since you came to this family. Last year, you was washing dishes for no reason, but you broke one. A bowl costs ten cents. Ten cents.”
”You have a sad face all day long. You have ruined all the happiness in our family.”
”You just slack off all day long. You haven’t done any work all day. I don’t know why I kept you here in the first place. You’re just a good-for-nothing.”
Mrs Wang was so angry about wasting fifteen cents that she went to the toilet in a huff.
Suddenly, a sound of “Ouch” came from the backyard. After a brief silence, Mrs Wang’s voice was heard: “Luoxue, Luoxue, come here quickly, mother fell into the toilet.”
Su Wan was very relieved that Mrs Wang still thought of her biological daughter in the emergency.
Mrs Wang was a crude country bumpkin, both in her speech and in her behavior.
Because Su Wan was worried that Mrs Wang would bring shame to Wang Luosheng, she tried het best to avoid Mrs Wang’s contact with Wang Luosheng’s classmates and colleagues, but Mrs Wang’s family accused het of being a hindrance and ruining their family.
From now on, Su Wan would not stop Mrs Wang from doing something out of line and make herself the vicious female supporting character.
Besides, Su Wan will seize the opportunity to leave the Wang family tomorrow.
Wang Luoxue frowned. She didn’t want to go to the toilet to rescue someone, even if that person was her own mother. Wang Luoxue covered her nose, as if she had already smelled the disgusting smell.
”Su Wan, you go.” Wang Luoxue ordered Su Wan, not caring that Su Wan had just woken up from being sick.
Su Wan turned her head and said weakly: “Tomorrow’s lunch is important. I have to prepare the ingredients now.” After saying that, Su Wan’s body shook, and it seemed that she was about to faint again.
Wang Luoxue still knew what was important. She curled her lips and said to Su Wan unhappily, “Go drink some brown sugar water and get ready quickly. Don’t make any mistakes tomorrow.”
Mrs Wang started to yell again: “Wang Luoxue, you unfilial daughter, why don’t you come and help me out? Su Wan, Su Wan, you ungrateful wolf, the Wang family has given you food for nothing…”
Wang Luoxue wanted to cry but had no tears. She pinched her nose and went to the backyard to pull her mother out.
Su Wan was leisurely preparing tomorrow’s ingredients in the kitchen and discovered that this supporting actress was indeed a lucky charm. Even though she had just woken up, she did not feel weak at all.
Mrs Wang fell into the toilet, and she was so angry that she had no place to vent. She kept cleaning outside the house and blamed Su Wan: “If Su Wan, the unlucky star, hadn’t fainted, how could I have fallen into the toilet.”
Su Wan thought to herself, this vicious Mother in law should have been suitable as a vicious female supporting role. She always blames the cause of any bad things that happen on the original owner. She wondered if Wang would still blame everything on her after she left.
In the book, on the day Duan Jingtian came to the house for dinner, the original owner was worried that father Wang’s and mother Wang’s eating habits were too ugly and would disgust Duan Jingtian, so she stopped them from interacting with Duan Jingtian and took the initiative to bring the food to Wang Luosheng’s study, letting Wang Luosheng eat with the guest alone.
Duan Jingtian comes from a wealthy family with a large collection of books. If Wang Luosheng could take a read the Duan family’s collection of books, he could reduce his ten years of hard study by at least three years. Therefore, the female supporting character attaches great importance to the relationship between Wang Luosheng and Duan Jingtian.
Just because she brought the meal to the study, the Wang family complained that she had ruined Wang Luoxue’s good fortune. If everyone had eaten together, Wang Luoxue would have had more opportunities to interact with Duan Jingtian. With more contact, Duan Jingtian would definitely be attracted to the “elegant and kind” Wang Luoxue.
Worried that revealing the reason of “ugly eating manners” would hurt the dignity and face of Wang’s father and mother, the female supporting character did not tell the real reason. For this, she suffered complaints from everyone in the Wang family, and the female supporting character became a person who could do more harm than good.
Su Wan made up her mind that she would not worry about anything else and would let the guests eat at the same table with the Wang family and let them interact more with Wang Luoxue.
