The 70s: I Became the Vicious Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel

Shen Meng was a corporate drone at a major tech firm who met with a car accident while delivering a contract to a partner. Just as she was lying paralyzed in bed, suffering in solitude, she suddenly awakened a spatial dimension. Before she could enjoy the novelty for even two days, the side effects of the space kicked in; she began having strange dreams almost every night. This quickly put her on high alert. Shen Meng hurriedly sold her house and car and began frantically hoarding supplies, fearing that if she truly ended up in a place of scarcity, she would starve to death. While on her way to hoard supplies once again, she was involved in another car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into a period novel as the villainous female supporting character who opposed the beloved female lead and met a tragic end. Not only was her reputation ruined and her life cut short by an accident, but her four children also became radicalized due to a lack of discipline. Coupled with the frequent physical abuse they suffered as children, their psyches became increasingly distorted, leading to a miserable fate. As for the man who had always served in the military and contributed to the country, he was ambushed and struck in the back of the head with a club. He became simple-minded and foolish, eventually drowning in a river during the dead of winter while clutching the wedding clothes he had intended to marry her in. To change her fate, Shen Meng had no choice but to clear her name and guide the children toward goodness; since they were the descendants of a hero, she did not want to watch them fall into ruin. Since she was occupying the original owner's body, Shen Meng decided to fulfill the original owner's duties by honoring the elders, caring for the children, and leading the entire family down a prosperous path toward wealth. However, that man—the one who had always been busy defending the country and had shared only a lukewarm relationship with her—seemed to be looking at her with increasingly fervent eyes.
