Reborn Sister Steals the Drunkard, So I'll Marry the Crippled General

After dying from overwork and alcohol poisoning in the modern world, An Yimei opens her eyes only to find herself inside an historical novel she read before she died, living as the neglected illegitimate daughter of the An family in the small farming village of Mu Village. Unfortunately for her, she did not transmigrate into a peaceful story. In the original timeline, the An family arranged a marriage between the two sisters and the Bai family, a large farming household known throughout the village. Because Bai Zhengyu was handsome, quiet, and the eldest grandson who would one day inherit the family, the legitimate daughter happily chose him as her future husband without hesitation. Meanwhile, the unwanted illegitimate daughter, An Yimei, was pushed toward Bai Wenliang, a notorious drunkard known for gambling, drinking, and avoiding responsibility. However, after marriage, the legitimate daughter discovered the truth too late. The husband she proudly chose was secretly crippled. Unable to accept her ruined future, resentment slowly consumed her as she watched her illegitimate younger sister silently endure years of suffering beside her useless husband. Unknown to everyone else, it was An Yimei’s sacrifices that eventually turned Bai Wenliang from a drunken farmer into a respected scholar. By the time Bai Wenliang finally returned home with his scholar title, jealousy had already driven the legitimate daughter mad. On that very day, she killed her sister before taking her own life as well. Because of their deaths, neither of the sisters ever lived long enough to discover that Bai Zhengyu, the crippled man everyone looked down on would later rise to become one of the empire’s most feared generals. But fate unexpectedly gives both women a second chance. One year before the marriages take place, the timeline resets, and the legitimate daughter awakens with memories of her previous life intact. Certain that Bai Wenliang is destined to become a successful scholar in the future, she immediately changes her mind and desperately pushes the illegitimate daughter toward Bai Zhengyu instead, believing she has finally escaped her miserable fate. What she does not know, however, is that Bai Wenliang’s future success was never truly his own. Without An Yimei sacrificing everything for him behind the scenes, the so-called future scholar is nothing more than a lazy drunkard slowly destroying his own life. Now trapped inside the body of the delicate illegitimate daughter, the new An Yimei has no intention of repeating the same tragic ending. But as she slowly grows closer to the quiet crippled man abandoned by everyone else, she begins to realize that perhaps the greatest mistake the legitimate daughter ever made… was letting him go. — Description from novelcodex.org
