    Reader note

    1. The relationship between the female and male leads develops gradually, not through sudden love at first sight or lust. The male lead has a sharp tongue and will criticize anyone, regardless of gender. 2. The female lead in this book is truly invincible and incredibly selfish. As for the male lead, it's not yet confirmed who he is, but I think there's a high chance it will be multiple male leads. However, I'm betting on the male lead; the characters who have appeared so far are all rather yandere, malicious, psychologically dark, and manipulative. There are also so many transmigrators, those with cheat-like abilities, reincarnated individuals, those with spatial abilities, and systems that it's practically overflowing with them. 3. The female lead was mentally ill in her past life and remains so after transmigrating into a male-oriented novel. The original male lead possesses a system that steals other people's luck, causing misfortune and even death for those around him. The female lead fights against it to survive (there's a romantic pairing). 4. The female lead is divorced because she can't conceive and returns to the countryside. However, she's very clever and, through her quick wit, persuasion, and hard work, marries the male lead. The main reason for marrying him is that she wants to find a job in the city. To get that job, she needs either an urban residency permit or to marry someone with an urban residency permit. Since she has a rural residency permit, she has to marry a man and then get the job. The male lead is emotionally deprived, and the female lead perfectly fulfills this need. "You want love, I want work"—perfect.

    "Sigh~" Looking at the mixed grain steamed buns, stir-fried green peppers and eggs, cucumber salad, and tomatoes with sugar on the table, Xu Xin, or rather, Xu Dongmai, frowned and sighed, looking dejected and half-dead. Seeing Xu Dongmai on the verge of tears, the filial son Yang Zhiyuan knew his mother was craving meat again. He leaned forward, patted her head, and, mimicking his grandmother's comforting words, gently reassured his mother, "Mom, don't be sad. We'll have meat to eat as soon as Dad's allowance arrives." The second filial daughter, Yang Erchun, also reluctantly placed a piece of egg in Xu Dongmai's bowl, saying, "When Dad's allowance comes, Mom, you can eat and drink well. Stop sighing, eat more and gain weight. You haven't been eating or drinking lately, and you've lost so much weight. It breaks our hearts." Lately, they didn't know what was wrong with their mother; she seemed devastated, eating very little, lacking energy, and not going out to chat with anyone. Her eyes had almost lost their light, and she had lost weight in just a few days, frightening Yang Zhiyuan and Yang Erchun. They knew it was because of the poor food at home, but they had gotten through it before. Why was she reacting so strongly this time? It was strange that Xu Dongmai's eyes still had any light; she was a perfectly healthy office worker.
