Jing Xian regains her memories after being pushed by her younger sister, hitting her head on a table corner. She remembers her tragic past life—her biological mother married her off to the mentally impaired younger brother of Director Zhou. In that nightmare of a marriage, she was treated as a punching bag, starved by her in-laws, and died miserably. Reincarnated into the post-apocalyptic world, she struggled to survive for years, only to perish again amidst a zombie horde.

For Jing Xian, marriage is her only way to escape her oppressive family. She approaches a friendly factory worker for help and is introduced to Shang Nancheng. Despite his being a divorced father of two and significantly older than her, his upright character and reliability make him the perfect choice to get her out of her predicament.

The entire military district is skeptical of their marriage, gossiping that Shang's new wife is merely a pretty face. But soon, the tantalizing aroma of her cooking silences their doubts.

Su He grew up as the beloved only daughter of the Su family, shielded by her loving parents and three doting brothers. She later married a soldier, whose parents were wise and understanding, and her husband was gentle and considerate. Her life was nothing short of blissful.

But one day, she discovered that the world she lived in was actually a novel set in a "rebirth-era" genre.

According to the book:

Her soldier husband would die in battle in the near future.

Stricken by grief, she would die in childbirth shortly afterward.

Their twin son and daughter would suffer tragic fates. The daughter would grow up to be an evil supporting character, constantly opposing the novel's heroine, scheming to harm her, and even competing for her love interests. In the end, the daughter would be confined to a mental institution and die by suicide.

The son wouldn’t fare much better, dying in a car accident shortly after.

Meanwhile, the novel’s protagonists, after overcoming various trials, would live happily ever after, raising triplet sons.

Upon finishing the novel, Su He was filled with indignation.

"Death? No one in my family is dying! I’ll survive, my soldier husband will survive, and my children will thrive!"

On the other hand, the novel’s protagonist, Gu Li, had a tragic first life, married to the wrong man and enduring endless suffering. In contrast, her orphaned cousin married a wonderful man and lived a life of wealth and happiness. Gu Li couldn’t accept this. She thought, “If only I had married my cousin’s husband. After all, he pursued me first back then.”

As fate would have it, Gu Li died and was reborn back to when she was ten years old. But she was baffled:

“In my previous life, weren’t Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt already dead? Why are they alive this time?”

Lin Xi unexpectedly transmigrated to the 1970s, becoming the true daughter of the family who was mistreated by her biological parents and forced to marry her “divorced with three kids” military fiancé in place of a fake daughter. In the book, the original host eventually died in misery, and not long after, her military husband sacrificed his life. The three children were left behind, neglected and unloved, ultimately growing into villains who met tragic ends at the hands of the story’s protagonists.

Lin Xi: “…”

This was a literal hellish start!

But before she could even comprehend the situation, her future mother-in-law picked her up and brought her back home. Unlike the original story, her in-laws spoiled her with hearty meals every day, and the three children attentively took care of her needs. They even shielded her from household chores and farm work.

Determined to rewrite the story’s tragic fate, Lin Xi embarks on a journey of mutual care, finding love in her new family and preparing for an uncertain future.

The chubby kitty met her end while sneakily munching on a chicken drumstick—struck dead by a golden lightning bolt!

Reborn into the Ruan family, where the grandparents had nine grandsons and desperately longed for a granddaughter, she instantly became the precious darling of three generations!

Smiling cheerfully, the chubby kitty felt life couldn't get any sweeter—loved by grandma, doted on by her parents, and fiercely protected by her brothers.

Of course, everything would be absolutely perfect if not for a certain "big bad wolf" lurking in the shadows, his eyes gleaming green as he stared at her intently!

After transmigrating to another world, he wakes up to find himself unloved and neglected. His "family" eagerly waits for him to breathe his last so they can wrap him in a straw mat and bury him.

However, while the original soul truly died, a modern-day man takes over the body.

“Father…”

Wait—Father?! He has a child now? Great!

Then, a man holding a child at his feet smiles joyfully at him:

“Dear, you’re awake.”

Hold on—the child's mother is a man?!
