Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

When I opened my eyes, I found that the surrounding environment was still antique, and the apricot-yellow curtains above my head were exactly the same as yesterday. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. This is already the seventh day, and it seems that I can't go back.

Seven days ago, I woke up and found myself traveling through time, and in a book, which was a novel called Reborn Daughter that I had read a few days ago. The protagonist Su Mei was a reborn person. With the memory of her previous life, she not only changed her fate, but also married a husband who doted on her very much, that is, the male protagonist Xu Changan.

My role is Shen Xingye, the wife of the male supporting character Situ Jue in this story. Although Situ Jue is the only king of a different surname in this dynasty, he is like all the male supporting characters in the story. He is blind and only likes the female protagonist Su Mei. He doesn't like this wife who was married into his palace by the emperor.

The heroine Su Mei is Situ Jue's love interest. They have known each other since childhood and Situ Jue has had a crush on her for many years. Even after she married the hero, he still cared about her and even took the initiative to help the heroine out of trouble many times. This behavior made the hero jealous and became a catalyst for the relationship between the hero and heroine.

The male protagonist Xu Changan is a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although his status is not as high as Situ Jue, he still maintains the character of a treacherous minister on the surface. He follows the orders of the chief minister Wei Ge Lao, who helps him deceive his superiors and subordinates and embezzle a lot of people's money. When reading the book, I felt that this kind of black-bellied, poisonous and cold character was very likable. The most important thing is that the novel describes him as stunningly handsome, but because of his bad reputation in the capital, he is still unmarried at an advanced age.

Ordinary girls would never dare to like such a man, and the Xu family was a poor family, considered a new rich in the capital, and had no connections.

The heroine used her foresight about the plot after her rebirth and took the initiative to marry him, thus getting rid of the troubles she was trapped in the inner house. She also helped her husband avoid crises in the court many times, and finally successfully cleared her image as a treacherous minister. She established a good relationship with the future new emperor, the ninth prince who was not currently valued.

The ending is that after the new emperor ascends the throne, the hero's position in officialdom becomes more secure, while the heroine lives a happy life in the backyard taking care of her husband and children.

Originally in this story, Shen Xingye only appeared in the first few chapters, and was briefly mentioned. She was always described as being infatuated with Situ Jue and actively trying to please him. However, in his eyes, she was just annoying and artificial, even though it was clearly a marriage granted by the emperor and the Shen family was also prominent.

But Situ Jue kept his chastity for love, and refused to touch her even after half a year of marriage. Under this kind of cold and violent treatment, Shen Xingye died of depression after a few years. After losing his wife, Situ Jue saw the sweet love between the male and female protagonists, and suddenly he came to his senses. He let go of his obsession with Su Mei, stopped deliberately causing trouble for the male protagonist, and started to cooperate with him. In the end, he married someone else and lived a happy life.

In contrast, Shen Xingye's life can only be described with one word: miserable.

When I first read the book, I particularly disliked this kind of humble unrequited love and complained about it for a long time. I didn't expect that the retribution for my complaints would fall on me so soon.

When I think of my current situation, I am so angry that I smash the bed. Why don't I travel back to an earlier time? At least before getting married, I would have a chance to regret the marriage. It just so happens that I have been married to the palace for half a year, which is also the time when Situ Jue is most resistant to "me".

As soon as I woke up yesterday and found out that I had traveled through time, I was called up early to pay my respects to the Concubine Dowager.

Situ Jue is the current owner of the Zhenbei Palace. The original Zhenbei King was his father. During the reign of the previous emperor, he fought many battles for the previous emperor and was invincible without any defeat. This illustrious military exploit earned him the title of the only king of a different surname in this dynasty.

Situ Jue was the only son in the family. According to the rules, the title of the prince should have been discounted when it came to him. However, three years ago, his father was framed in a court struggle, lost the initiative on the front line, and died in battle. The emperor appreciated his father's merits and made an exception to let him inherit the title of the prince.

Although Situ Jue came from a family of scholars, he did not know any martial arts. He was weak since childhood and was once predicted by the imperial physician that he would not live past his 10th birthday. The book describes him as a sickly and delicate dandy prince, but in fact his intelligence and character are far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, in the capital city where a falling tile could hit five high-ranking officials, the Situ family no longer has any male members to continue to serve in the army, and they cannot continue to take advantage of their connections in the army. Even if Situ Jue is smart and takes the path of a civil servant, he will definitely not be as capable as the male protagonist.

So it’s normal that the original heroine looks down on him.

But what's the matter with this Shen Xingye? In terms of looks, the most handsome man in the book must be Xu Changan. In terms of family wealth, can't her Shen family's Duke's Mansion be better than the declining Zhenbei Palace? Why do I have to like such a person? I don't understand!

The book only mentioned that this marriage was granted by the emperor, but did not explain why the emperor randomly arranged the marriage. Perhaps the original owner had met Situ Jue and secretly fell in love with him, so she managed to obtain an imperial decree and married into the palace. What seemed like a beautiful marriage to outsiders was just a death warrant for the original owner.

Although Shen Xingye was not favored by Situ Jue, Situ Jue's mother liked her very much. This was probably because Shen Xingye could not please Situ Jue after she got married, so she focused on pleasing the concubine. After all, she was the daughter of the Duke of Ying, the proper mistress of the mansion, and was personally selected by the concubine.

Anyway, I came here these days. It is said that the imperial concubine was compassionate and had exempted her daughter-in-law from the morning and evening visits. She only needs to pay her respects to her on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Early in the morning, a maid came to remind me that today was the first day of the new year and I had to pay my respects to the Dowager Concubine, so I had to prepare early.

I was so angry about waking up, but I had no choice but to do it.

Situ Jue had been waiting outside his mother's yard long ago, and in order to pretend to be respectful to me, he went in with me to pay his respects. After paying his respects, he sat for only a short while before making excuses and leaving first. Then, as soon as he left the yard, he immediately left me behind and walked away very quickly, as if staying by my side for one more second would cost him his life.

Seeing him walking away, I simply turned back and sat back in the Toffee's room.

The concubine is not actually old, she looks to be in her early 40s. I heard from the servants that a few years ago when the old prince was still alive, the concubine was also full of energy and loved to dress up. When she went out, people who didn't know her would think she was only in her 30s.

Because the old prince died in the war, the concubine fell seriously ill and stayed in bed for a long time. Her spirit and energy collapsed.

If she hadn't been holding on to see her son get married and have children, she probably would have almost died.

I also heard that the old prince and the concubine were more than ten years apart in age, so they were considered an old man and a young wife. When the Zhenbei Palace was still built on the border, the concubine who had just married there was not used to the climate there, so the palace was moved to the capital. The old prince doted on the concubine all his life and didn't even have a concubine. Because of the war, they were rarely together.

The older maids couldn't help but sigh when they mentioned their stories.

When I sat in the concubine's room, I felt extremely peaceful. I guess I really liked this mother-in-law. Although Situ Jue had always treated me coldly, the servants did not dare to look down on me because of the concubine's appreciation.

But after I stayed here and drank two pots of tea, and used my poor chess skills to persuade Taifei to play four or five games with me, she became a little impatient and urged me to go back to my own yard. She said in words that I should put the thoughts I had for her on Situ Jue. I agreed perfunctorily, but I didn't think so in my heart.

As soon as she returned to her courtyard, the maid Xi Que came to greet her, "Princess, the ginseng soup is ready. Do you think we should send it to the prince now?"

"What's ginseng soup?"

"Didn't you order me to do that?"

After checking the original owner's memory, he remembered that whenever Situ Jue was at home, the original owner would rush to show his courtesy. This ginseng soup was specially stewed to nourish his body. In addition to the century-old mountain ginseng, there are also various precious medicinal materials. It was prepared the day before. It is absolutely nutritious medicinal food.

"Then bring it here." I turned and went back into the house.

When the maid brought the soup, I picked up the spoon and took a sip. The medicinal taste was not very strong, so the cooking skills were indeed good.

So I sat at the table and ate up all the ingredients in the bowl in one breath, which made the maid beside me dumbfounded.

"Oh, you are tasting for the prince, right? I'll serve another cup." Xi Que thought for a while and breathed a sigh of relief when she found an excuse for me. I didn't bother to explain more when she turned around and went out to prepare.

According to the original owner's memory, in order to serve Situ Jue, three cooks were specially hired, one to stew soup and cook medicinal food, one who had worked as an imperial chef and could prepare hard dishes, and one who specialized in making snacks. They called it diet therapy for Situ Jue, but it was a pity that the cook didn't appreciate it. Every time the food was sent, it was rewarded to the servants in front of the original owner.

Even so, the original owner continued to serve tirelessly.

Why bother? Can't you just take care of your body first? I'm not complaining, the original owner's body is really weak. I just went out for a walk before, and I felt anxious and short of breath. I felt dizzy after basking in the sun in the yard.

In the past, hiking and walking a few kilometers under the scorching sun was no big deal for me. How could I be interested in a girl who had been kept in the boudoir for years and had no physical strength at all?

When I finished the second cup, the maid Xi Que looked confused and said, "Princess, this soup is not easy to cook. You drank two cups at once. I'm afraid there won't be enough left for the prince..."

Six kinds of poultry are used to stew the broth, which is then supplemented with more than thirty kinds of precious medicinal materials and a hundred-year-old ginseng. It takes more than ten hours to make such a small pot. If it is put outside, it can be sold for at least a few dozen taels.

I handed over the empty soup bowl and said, "Why not just add some water and make another bowl?"

The magpie's eyes widened, as if it didn't recognize the person in front of it.

The character of the Marquis’ wife in her mind was probably going to collapse, so I deliberately added with resentment, "Anyway, every time I send it to him, he doesn’t care. You should go quickly."

It is absolutely impossible for me to continue to be nice to Situ Jue like the original owner did and then keep his cold butt.
