The Cannon Fodder Original Wife Quits

After Yang Yuwan married Xie Yan, she lived a life of utmost caution and humility in the Xie Estate due to the vast gulf between their social statuses. She never missed morning and evening greetings to her elders. Even though there were plenty of servants available, she insisted on brewing soups and sewing clothes for him with her own hands. If Xie Yan grew even a single strand of white hair, she would blame herself for three days, believing she had failed to take good enough care of him. She sacrificed herself without complaint or regret for three whole years. Then, one day, she suddenly discovered that the world she lived in was actually a novel. Xie Yan was the male lead, and she was merely his tragically short-lived original wife. According to the plot, after her death, the adopted son she raised as her own would dismiss her as “unfit for polite society.” Meanwhile, due to the Xie family’s neglect, her own biological children would suffer terrible fates, one growing up timid and cowardly, and the other ending up a crippled invalid. As for Xie Yan? Though he never remarried, he kept a glamorous female soulmate whom the entire capital knew about. Since that was the case, why the hell was she still trying so hard to please the Xie family? She’s done! She quits! After Yang Yuwan entered “salted fish” mode, complaints kept flooding Xie Yan’s ears. Outraged relatives claimed that now that she was pregnant, she felt her position was secure and had finally dropped her virtuous facade, urging him to teach her a lesson. Xie Yan didn’t take the complaints seriously. His wife never needed to do the work of servants anyway. However, staring at the bedroom door that was now firmly locked against him, his expression couldn’t help but turn gloomy. It was fine if she dropped her act around others, but her feelings for him had always been genuine. Why was she suddenly treating him with such a cold shoulder? Watching the tall silhouette of the man reflected through the door, Yang Yuwan caressed her belly and began to calculate the days. In the novel, she died because she took a blade for Xie Yan. This time, she wasn’t going to block any knives. There were still four years left. After that, she would finally achieve her ultimate dream: becoming a filthy rich, high-status, independent widow.
