    This is a high-quality IP-driven novel, a realistic urban story disguised as a wealthy family tale. Every character's choices are influenced by business intrigue and family ties. It's not a typical wish-fulfillment story; the pacing is excellent! The female lead is a career-driven powerhouse, pessimistic about marriage, while the male lead is a cool and aloof genius heir who uses a guise of a transaction to gradually help her succeed. This beautiful, strong, and tragic couple finds redemption in each other, experiencing intense emotional turmoil without explicitly expressing their feelings or binding each other. Other characters are also relatable and down-to-earth, making this a story for careful reading.

    "Mr. Chen, my eldest sister doesn't like taking pictures, and she looks almost exactly like my second sister—you've seen her before." With just that one sentence, Hu Lingyi became Chen's second wife. Mr. Chen disliked her for her plain looks, but he couldn't help but admire her shrewdness—no penny of the Chen family's three-year income escaped her calculations. She established herself in the Chen family through her abilities, but just as she did, a strange illness struck. Coughing up blood, running out of medicine, and her backyard turning to dust—the same fate befell the two first wives. She was sent back to her parents' home, and her family's situation improved. Lingheng became a complete villain; her second sister was gently fed meat by him, without any joy or sorrow; her third brother sat under the pomegranate tree all day, silently holding an empty cricket jar. After her death, her eldest brother said the coffin was expensive and threw away a roll of straw mat. Her third brother only knew how to carry the coffin but not how to throw the straw mat, and was trampled on the ground and beaten. The only man to collect her body—Cheng Yanchi—was beaten to death at the dock simply because his second sister pleaded for him when he was about to take her away. Later, Boss Chen wanted to remarry Lingxian, but was killed by Ling Heng. Lingxian looked down at the mass on the ground and whispered, "Brother, I don't want to eat meat today." Ling Heng went to prison, and the Hu family was destitute. Reborn, Hu Lingyi refused to marry. Hu Lingxian was still the same flesh-and-blood, calculating second sister, throwing the problem of a hundred silver dollars to Cheng Yanchi with a single sentence. Cheng Yanchi forged a marriage certificate, and Hu Lingyi became a female accountant at an orphanage. Boss Chen took a new wife, and the Chen family's sins continued in this life.

    Reader note

    Look at my "Reversed Heavenly Flow," also known as the "Anti-Cheat Flow." As the name suggests, in this book, if you use cheat codes, it's like borrowing money and having to pay interest—you'll eventually pay a price. Similarly, risk and reward are proportional, but if you rely on a specific path, the returns from acquiring power using the same method will decrease later on. Being too greedy will even lead to your death. The protagonist starts as the weakest in the world, but he loves learning and research, and he still easily defeats those wish-fulfillment male protagonist types. All the characters are real people who will change their attitudes over time and with the plot, unlike wooden figures. The protagonist might also be betrayed. Therefore, the protagonist needs to find a way to resolve these situations. [Learned]
