Guide to Happiness for a Supporting Female Character in the 1970s

When thunder roared during the Awakening of Insects, Chuxia unexpectedly discovered that she was a lovestruck supporting female character in a male-centered era novel, destined to dedicate her entire life to the male protagonist.

When the male protagonist needed love, she gave up all the life-changing opportunities she had to the female protagonist he loved.

When the male protagonist faced setbacks in love and needed a family, she offered her assets and married him.

When the male protagonist needed support for his career, she sold her family’s courtyard house and small restaurant, using her entire fortune to help him start his business.

When the male protagonist became successful in his career, she not only stayed at home to help him care for his parents but also took on the responsibility of raising the illegitimate child sent to him by the female protagonist.

Chuxia: ??? Don’t be ridiculous.

Whoever wants to play this pitiful, wronged supporting female character can have it—she’s not doing it!

Is she rich but doesn’t know how to spend it herself? Or wealthy but doesn’t know how to make it herself?

Break free from the male and female protagonists and stop being the pitiful fool.

With a courtyard house in hand, she creates delicious food and opens a restaurant.

From beauty to wealth, she makes a complete comeback.

Translation Note:

惊蛰 (Jīngzhé), also known as the Awakening of Insects (or sometimes translated as Insects Wake), is the 3rd of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. It typically falls around March 5th to 6th in the Gregorian calendar and marks the time when spring thunderstorms begin to wake hibernating insects, symbolizing the arrival of spring and renewed vitality.
