    Chapter 1 The Ceiling of Transmigration: Tang Shuyi transmigrated. At this moment, she leaned lazily against a golden nanmu brocade couch, surrounded by four or five maids. Some massaged her shoulders, some fanned her, some rubbed her legs, and one even peeled grapes for her… Taking a grape offered by a maid, she put it to her lips, took a gentle bite, and then sucked on it. The soft, smooth flesh melted in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste bringing her immense pleasure. Tang Shuyi was more than just happy; she was practically jumping for joy. A person who had been worked to death had the opportunity to transmigrate, and upon transmigrating, could immediately lie down and relax—who wouldn't be overjoyed? In her previous life, Tang Shuyi was a scroll-wielding king, a true scroll-wielding king.

    A story of a broken mirror mended, a successful pursuit of the husband, single female lead and single male lead, no system or rebirth, super strong plot. A little angsty at the beginning, but super sweet later on. A novel suitable for both men and women, not a cuckoldry or simp story. The more you read, the better it gets! (98)

That couple just closed their eyes and kicked the bucket, abandoning them completely. How am I supposed to feed three burdens? This wretched place hasn't seen rain for three years.
