How suffocating it is to transmigrate into a counterpointed, bullied female side character in a retro novel! Qian Lai, a modern genetic researcher, opened her eyes only to find herself being schemed against by her cousin, forced into a substitute marriage! Her biased, heartless father compelled her to hand over her university admission to her cousin, and even wanted to trade her for money to help her cousin brother marry. In a fit of anger, she turned the tables on her scummy father, fought back against the main branch of the family, and along the way, picked up a man suffering from skin hunger on her journey with the army—who turned out to be the legendary "Scalpel" of the Military District General Hospital. The devil-may-care Qiao Muting, cold and aloof one moment, the next would pull her into his arms. He, who was lethally allergic to the skin and bodily fluids of the opposite sex, found himself addicted only to Qian Lai! What a scoundrel! Shameless! Despicable! Lewd! She would curse herself yet endlessly crave his closeness. Qian Lai was busy using genetic technology to tackle the great man’s lower body issues, while also playing matchmaker for a grim-faced “King of Hell” in a wheelchair. Until one day, Qiao Muting accidentally discovered that the woman haunting his dreams day and night was actually his “cousin-in-law.” Driven mad, he pinned her against the medicine cabinet, his hoarse voice breaking between despair and pleading, hot breaths falling against her: “Qian Lai, you are my only cure!” Humble in his love, tormented by his own desires, he secretly helped her countless times and became infamous in the military district for his jealousy. The reborn cousin glared at Qian Lai’s photo in the “Army Bulletin,” smashing the mirror in rage. Meanwhile, rumors were running wild in the military compound— The cold, noble Doctor Qiao was chasing after Researcher Qian, losing his mind at the steps of her institute. “Lai Lai! My skin hunger doesn’t need to be cured!”
“What a relief, your face is unharmed. Otherwise, how could you marry into the Gu family!”
“How could you be so narrow-minded? Gu Hanchen may be paralyzed, but he's a regimental commander and a war hero. The country will never treat him unfairly. Marrying him is waiting to enjoy a life of ease…”
Bang! The door to the hospital ward was suddenly flung open.
Qin Hongxiang and Qian Xiaozhen fell instantly silent, and everyone turned to look toward the entrance.
Liu Huiru’s eyes blazed red, glaring at the pair as she unleashed a torrent of curses: “If anyone wants such ‘good fortune,’ let them enjoy it. Don’t you dare scheme to push my daughter into the fire pit!”
She spun around, shouting at the man sitting quietly by the side: “Qian Jiangang! Did you hear your niece? They’re plotting to send my daughter into misery! My beautiful girl is not going to anyone’s house to become a servant. If you can’t be fair this time, I’ll fight you to the end!”
Lying in bed, Qian Lai’s head throbbed violently, as memories that didn’t belong to her crashed in.
The seventies? Worker-Peasant-Soldier university students? Gu Hanchen? Qian Jiangang? Qian Xiaozhen?
Had she entered the novel she’d been listening to so much lately? Become the much-abused supporting character, ‘Qian Lai’?
At this moment, the original family was facing a dilemma: two girls, two paths.
Either marry Gu Hanchen, who was gravely injured and paralyzed during a mission; or take the referral for Worker-Peasant-Soldier university and go to school.
