That very night, she accidentally consummates her marriage with her husband, who hasn't returned in two years. Looking at the marks of intimacy all over her body, she decides to take the initiative and wrap her arms around his waist to tease him. Thinking about the creaking bed that creaked until midnight, she's so embarrassed she wants to die. In the book: Lu Beiting and the original owner of the body dislike each other. He came back that day to get a divorce, but unexpectedly, he was drugged by the original owner's adoptive parents. The original owner, wanting to remain chaste for her beloved Shen Cheng, begged Lu Beiting not to touch her or she would die. He stubbornly held back, leaving him with a chronic condition: impotence. Lin Xia sighs, "My god, so my transmigration has changed the original plot. Not only did it not cause him to suffer, but it also became his antidote, allowing them to spend a shameless night together." "I will take responsibility for you," Lu Beiting says, unaware that his wife has been replaced. Lin Xia was decisive and didn't resort to moral blackmail. "We're both adults, you don't need to take responsibility, let's get a divorce." She just wanted to focus on making money; men would only hinder her earning potential. Unexpectedly, the usually aloof man came eight times a day, holding her in his arms and acting all cute and affectionate. "Wife, can't we stay together?"

The second book also features a female protagonist who is undocumented and chooses to marry the male protagonist on their first meeting to resolve her undocumented status. The male protagonist comes from a wealthy family, is handsome and capable, and is the police chief. It's also a rare type of story. The third book also features a female protagonist who is undocumented and is also good; the male protagonist is quite cunning.
