She pulled an all-nighter reviewing contracts and dropped dead?
Xu Changming, a CEO, transmigrated into the true heiress of a marquis’s household.
From the start, she had to take the fake heiress’s place as a bride and marry the sickly live-in son-in-law of the prime minister’s household. She was inexplicably bound to a “sweet and delicate white lotus System” with a bizarre way of thinking. Whenever anything happened, she had to whimper and whine. If she dared resist, it would electrocute her or erase her from existence!
-
Make her fall in line?
Dream on.
To exploit a bug in the System, she set her sights on Wu Jindeng, a sickly man in a wheelchair who coughed up blood. She discovered that as long as she snuggled up to him, the System froze!
But the more she “snuggled” up to this bargain husband, the stranger he got.
-
He looked weak and harmless on the surface, but he had layers of secret identities!
He was a master predator pretending to be a green tea!
The fake heiress switches sides and sends her male concubines?
He says, “Second sister is quite the expert at ‘fighting for favor’! It’s nice that my wife has them to serve her. No need to worry about whether your husband lives or dies…”
The fake heiress’s most devoted admirer suddenly changes allegiances.
He says, “Third sister has gone astray, too? Wasn’t second sister the one you admired? Wife, go have fun chatting and laughing with them. Don’t mind your husband, alone and abandoned in his empty room…”
-
By exploiting bugs in her son-in-law, Xu Changming built a business network, investigated old cases, shattered the rules of imperial power, and established a new law code for the Changming era.
Until the day he rose from his wheelchair and strode across the corpses of his enemies with a blade in hand, like a demon from hell. But when he saw her, he deftly concealed his bloodied blade, leaned against her shoulder, and put on his green-tea act.
“Wife, who’s upset you?”
“Shall I go prepare the evidence for the Three Judicial Offices’ trial? The kind that’ll get them executed?”
Xu Changming: Stop acting! I can’t bear to watch.
