[Self-serving and savvy × mature and dependable]
Meng Qingyu grew up in a hutong. Her father favored sons, while her mother doted on her eldest and youngest daughters.
Stuck in the middle, Meng Qingyu was loved by neither parent.
Her family fretted over their sons' jobs and arranged the eldest daughter's marriage. When it came to Meng Qingyu, all they had for her was a spot on the list to be sent down to the countryside.
After a vivid dream, Meng Qingyu gained not only a Gossip System, but also a set of memories.
In the dream, she went to the countryside and pursued the male lead from a novel, only to be called a social climber.
Her attempts to win him over actually brought the male and female leads together. In the end, she was forced to marry an old bachelor, beaten to death, and then blamed for bringing it on herself.
Meng Qingyu came to her senses and decided to stop pretending to be an obedient, honest girl.
Without a second thought, she found herself a partner and set out to climb the highest branch!
Ruan Shian was the high branch Meng Qingyu picked for herself: a good family background, a good job, a good education, and good looks.
He excelled in every way, with just one flaw: his bizarre demands for marriage.
“No companionship, no questions, no concern.”
After hearing Ruan Shian explain himself, that was how Meng Qingyu summed up the loveless, no-frills life she'd have if she married him.
A life like becoming a widow in all but name? Even a dog wouldn't...
A dog might not, but Meng Qingyu would!
From a hutong girl to the daughter-in-law of an Air Force compound, Meng Qingyu achieved her goal of marrying up and living well.
Married life meant enjoying gossip with the System and occasionally dealing with her “high branch” husband when he came home. Her days were full and lively.
Somehow, her life without a single perk became a life overflowing with love and happiness.
“Loved, successful, blessed with children, and happy.”
It's well written and the heroine's character is not offensive.
The writing is too soft, with no ups and downs.
I didn't come here to read novels, I came here to eat melons [eating melons]🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉There are melons everywhere, you guys, eat them one by one. If you can't remember the names, eat them from the list.
The emotional scene was very slow and natural, but it ended a bit suddenly. It would have been better if the ending was written more carefully.
Well enough! Give it a five-star rating!
