Before transmigrating into the book, Wan Shu had read a male-oriented fantasy novel called "The Strongest Son-in-Law".
At the time, she was planning to invest in the entertainment industry, and this book was a manuscript handed to her by someone in the industry.
It's said to be the number one male-oriented novel, with explosive popularity. If she were willing to invest, she could definitely make a fortune if it were adapted into a film.
Wan Shu is an avid reader of online novels. In her spare time, she enjoys reading novels as a pastime.
However, she has only ever read female-oriented novels and has never read any male-oriented "feel-good" novels.
Upon hearing from the industry insider that it was the number one divine book for male readers, she became interested, took the book, and started reading with great enthusiasm. However, after reading less than ten chapters, she almost vomited from the book.
The strongest "son-in-law" tells the story of a man named Zhong Zifan who, as a son-in-law, is unwilling to be just a subservient son-in-law. He strives hard and eventually rises to the highest position in the court.
Upon seeing the words "strive hard," everyone would subconsciously assume that Zhong Zifan must be a very diligent and capable person at work.
But that's not actually the case.
The hard work and struggle here doesn't refer to hard work at work, but rather to hard work in seducing women.
Yes, Zhong Zifan's greatest skill is seducing women and exploiting their descendants.
His rise to power was roughly as follows: first, he married into a high-ranking official's family as a son-in-law; then, he tried every means to make the family rich and powerful; and finally, he seduced an even more powerful family and repeated the above process.
In the first chapter of the novel, when Zhong Zifan makes his first appearance, the setting is already in the capital city.
The author did not describe Zhong Zifan's past in detail, only saying that he successfully jumped social classes and entered the capital city through two foolish women.
Finally, since the author never mentioned that Zhong Zifan changed his surname after marrying into the family, even though Wan Shu had been in this world for so long, she always felt a strange sense of familiarity and didn't realize that she was actually a transmigrator, and had even transmigrated into the body of a silly woman in the book...
Logically speaking, she has already severed ties with Su Fan and no longer has to worry about being exploited, so it doesn't matter if she transmigrates into a book.
The problem is that, according to the plot of the novel "The Strongest Son-in-Law", the world will be in chaos in less than a year!
And the people of Qingshui Village will all die under the dual torment of man-made disasters and natural calamities!
The reason why the plot is like this naturally starts with Su Fan, the protagonist.
Although Su Fan was a scholar who later passed the imperial examination and became a provincial graduate, it is clear from his single-minded pursuit of seducing women in order to exploit them that he actually lacked real talent and learning.
Those who lack real talent and learning, no matter how hard they try to exploit others, will never rise to the highest ranks of officialdom.
Moreover, on the male-oriented platform, many readers complained that Su Fan, as the male protagonist, was too useless and only knew how to live off women, which made them look down on him.
The author probably added a career storyline for Su Fan later on for these two reasons.
The general plot of the career storyline is as follows: Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the country has suffered from disasters year after year, and the people are living in misery.
Just then, rumors spread that this was all because the new emperor's ascension to the throne was illegitimate, which angered the gods in heaven, and thus he was punished by heaven.
The people of the Great Sheng Dynasty were outraged and demanded that the new emperor step down.
King Wen, the new emperor's younger brother, had long coveted the throne. He seized the opportunity to launch a mercenary rebellion, eventually killing the new emperor and taking the throne.
During this war, Su Fan was particularly clever in choosing to follow King Wen in rebellion and dedicate all his wealth to King Wen, which enabled him to rise to the highest position among the ministers after King Wen became emperor.
As for Shimizu Village.
Many people in Qingshui Village had already died from natural disasters, and the survivors were all sickly and weak.
Once the war broke out, these people couldn't hold on any longer and all of them died.
According to the plot, Qingshui Village, or rather the entire Great Sheng Dynasty, will experience floods, plagues, snowstorms, hailstorms, and other natural disasters later on.
Even with the system shop at his fingertips, Wan Shu couldn't guarantee that he could protect himself amidst so many major natural disasters, let alone his five little ones and Qingshui Village.
I thought that after building the new house, I could finally live a good life with my five little ones, but I never expected this...
Overwhelmed with grief, Wan Shu's vision went black, and she nearly fainted.
"Mother!"
Da Zhu and the other four quickly put down their work and rushed towards her.
Five little faces were filled with worry: "Mother! What's wrong with you!?"
Aunt Zhao laughed smugly: "What can she do? Of course, she can't accept that the man she likes changed his name and married into the family for another woman."
"Wan Shu, no matter how much money you make, the man you like still won't like you. A woman who can't get a man's love, no matter how capable she is, is still an unwanted little slut! Don't think that just because you've made money, you can look down on my Big Foot!"
Wan Shu: "..." What kind of idiotic statement is this??
She's really exhausted now and doesn't want to hear anyone's babbling anymore, let alone such annoying and confusing remarks.
"Dazhu, close the gate quickly, I don't want to hear mad dogs barking in the yard." She waved weakly at Dazhu.
Dazhu immediately followed the instructions and stepped forward.
Aunt Zhao immediately became agitated: "Don't you understand the concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?! I'm two generations older than you, how dare you kick me out!"
Dazhu completely ignored her remarks, which were made in a way that suggested she was an elder.
Zhuangzhuang, who had been squatting under the tree, seemed to understand Wan Shu's meaning. He rushed over and bared his teeth at Aunt Zhao.
Zhuangzhuang is now as big as a puppy, and has grown exceptionally sharp teeth, which look particularly frightening in the moonlight.
Aunt Zhao was so afraid that Zhuangzhuang would actually bite her that she could only flee in a panic.
He kept cursing as he ran away.
"Damn it, what kind of people are the Liang family? They don't even know the slightest bit of etiquette regarding respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"
"Tomorrow, I'm going to spread this around and let everyone know what your family is really like! Let everyone despise your family!"
Siya, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back on the spot.
"That wretched old woman, that gossipy hussy! I'm going to go and rip her tongue out!"
Siya grabbed a carrying pole from the side and tried to rush forward, but Wan Shu was too exhausted to struggle any longer and pulled Siya back.
"Siya, forget it, don't waste time with this kind of person. Mother just wants some peace and quiet right now..."
His tone was still weak and listless, which frightened the five little ones.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?!"
"Mother, are you sick? Should I go find a doctor now?"
“Mother is not sick, there’s no need to see a doctor. Mother just wants to get some peace and quiet.” After saying this, Wan Shu went into the room with a blank look in her eyes.
The five little ones were left looking at each other, completely bewildered.
