Description

After Lu Meng transmigrated into the character of Zhangsun Lu Meng, she discovered that she was the protagonist in a melodramatic and tragic novel.

In the book, the character Zhangsun Lu Meng was subjected to various physical and emotional abuses from everyone around her. Even the dogs on the roadside specifically chose to bite her. In the end, her suffering moved the heavens and the male protagonist, but she died young, weakened by illness.

There was a famous line in the book where the heroine, trembling, said to the hero before she died: “Do you only care about me if I die?”

After her transmigration, the male protagonist told Lu Meng on their wedding day: “You can freely use the gold and silver in this residence. I can ensure you a lifetime of glory and comfort, as long as you obey and do not covet things that do not belong to you.”

Lu Meng looked at the male protagonist, who resembled an exiled immortal, and all she could think was, “Gold and silver to use as I please, a lifetime of glory and comfort…”

Lu Meng: “Is there really such a good thing in this world?”

____

After marriage, the male protagonist engaged in intrigues and power struggles with others in an attempt to reach the top, while Lu Meng diligently worked to be a completely useless ornament, never relying on any knowledge from the 21st century to break conventions.

She did not covet the protagonist’s beauty, nor did she shield him from swords or knives, insisting on hiding behind him. She never tried to humiliate anyone, cooperated with everyone in humiliating her, and recorded everything in a small notebook to report to the protagonist.

Except for being busy with the constant attempts to humiliate her by various cannon fodders, her life was extremely comfortable.

Only the system, which had been dormant for years, would occasionally resurface to make her say a line from the plot.

One night:

Lu Meng: “Do I have to die for you to care about me?”

The male protagonist, who was diligently writing in his study, raised his head and then angrily threw his pen. He could no longer maintain his composed demeanor and roared in frustration: “So, are you planning to eat yourself to death or die from sheer laziness?!”

Lu Meng: … “Boss, don’t be so irritable because of overtime. How about I let you take a break tonight?”
