Synopsis

[Cool, capable, emotionally detached heroine vs. outwardly flirtatious but inwardly pure and delicate male lead]

Jiang Zhi received a mission from the Heavenly Dao Universe: transmigrate into a novel about a fake heiress and a true heiress, and correct the plot.

She got the script of the vicious fake heiress, who was about to be kicked out of her home, go on a dating show and get hated by the whole internet, become part of the true heiress and male lead's games, then be sent to Africa to mine until she was finally killed by a wild boar... It was so tragic even Dou E stopped crying.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao had given her a System. As long as she collected defiance points, she could earn rewards. From then on, Jiang Zhi embarked on a path of going berserk and giving up on everything.

Jiang's father and mother: “We raised you for over twenty years. How can you live with yourself?”

Jiang Zhi: “If I live, I let my parents down. If I die, I let down the whole family. We might as well play ‘Sorry Sorry’ on repeat at my funeral and put a QR code for it on my gravestone.”

The true heiress: “You stole my man on the dating show, you homewrecker!”

Jiang Zhi: “At age zero, I was called a homewrecker: forgot about it. At eight, I was called a homewrecker: got mad. At sixteen, I was called a homewrecker: cried. At twenty-four, I was called a homewrecker: I sailed past ten thousand mountains.”

At the awards ceremony, Jiang Zhi said, “From today on, I'll hold others to the standards of a saint and myself to the standards of a scoundrel. I'll stop tormenting myself and live for me!”

After the dating show ended, a reporter asked her, “I hear you turned down Best Actor Feng?”

Jiang Zhi: “First make a living, then look for love. I'd rather drink liquor at 52°C than touch a hand at 36°C.”

Feng Yi, who was so furious he had a fever, tossed her a thermometer: “I'm burning up at 38°C. Can you touch me now?”

Teacher, you must stick to the 4i direction! Your writing is really good, if you like it, keep reading 🥺 ... I...,, Never mind, I know I said something a bit harsh, so I'll stop here (' - ' * )

A typical, somewhat eccentric piece of writing, rather short. No obvious strengths, but the weaknesses are acceptable. Having read the whole thing, I'd give it five stars. I've always felt that slapstick fiction shouldn't be too long. These kinds of stories tend to get increasingly tiring as you read on, completely losing the initial spark.

It's hilarious, similar to another book I loved before. The male and female leads aren't overly dramatic, it's really good, and they're not the kind of crazy, monkey-like characters. I love it! There aren't any heart-wrenching scenes either, making it a smooth and enjoyable read. It's so good!

Super good! A bit funny and a bit crazy, "The Domineering Jiangzhi and Her Little Darling" is great 😏 The author gave the CP name "Yi Qiu Zhi He" (meaning "Birds of a Feather") a really nice touch 😳 Anyway, the later chapters got a bit angsty, the scene where Feng Yi came through the crack was really a bit 🥺 But thankfully, it has a happy ending.

It's really good, but not many people have read it or rated it. The plot is really fast-paced, and the original female lead is indeed a good person (compared to the rest of the Jiang family). It's quite funny, and the female lead is also quite capable. I really like this kind of female lead. There are indeed a few chapters, and I didn't get enough, but overall I really like it.

The plot is hilarious. Although the ending is a happy one, it still feels a bit sad. The female lead still doesn't understand love, but she does understand habit. It's like the male lead took 99 steps, while the female lead only took one.

Looks good, especially suitable for our sweet and soft boys 😜😜

It's really good! I finished it in less than 4 hours. The female lead is a bit aloof, while the male lead is a crybaby and a spoiled brat. It's sweet both overtly and covertly. The romance reality show is hilarious, and the other members are also sweet. Except for the female lead's family, everyone else is a good boy/girl. 😘😘
