This dirt-poor household sure is full of “surprises.” Fortunately, she has a pocket dimension. It may malfunction now and then, but whenever she's hungry, it always manages to roll out a couple of eggs... Hua Yanyu has fists of iron and an even sharper mind. She treats her father's leg, saves money, takes down scumbags, and opens a factory... Later, her lame father can walk and carry grain, her sister marries a good man, and the whole family has meat on the table every day. Even her once-acid-tongued grandmother puts on a shameless smile and turns sweet. Coming soon: I Became a Substitute in a Dog-Blooded Romance, So I Chose to Lie Flat and Enjoy It One morning, overworked Jiang Ning wakes up inside a dog-blooded romance novel as a substitute for the female lead, the moonlight in the male lead Fu Chenyans's heart. In the original story, Fu Chenyans can't have the woman he loves, so he uses Jiang Ning as her substitute. After each frenzied encounter, he coldly tosses her a check. She has to stoically refuse him and maintain the same pure, stubborn persona as his dream girl to make him fall for her, and ultimately return to the real world. System: [Host, follow the plot. Reject him, run away from him, and make him fall in love with you!] Jiang Ning looks at the domineering CEO in front of her, impeccably dressed in a suit and sporting an eight-pack, then glances at his astronomical check. Her eyes light up. “What? I get to enjoy a top-tier hottie for free and get paid for it? I'm lying flat and enjoying this plot!” And so... The System tells her to slam the door on her way out, but she reaches over and unfastens the CEO's buttons. The System tells her to reject him coldly, but she climbs right onto his lap. The System tells her to act pure and stubborn, but she tugs his tie. “So, what position do you want to try tonight?” System: [@#￥￥%%*&...@#￥%&...*￥, I have a curse word I don't know whether I should say] Later... Fu Chenyans grips her waist, his voice low and hoarse. “If you dare leave, I'll kill you!” Everyone else: That's a pretty fierce line, but could you stop saying it on your knees? The System is thrilled: [Host! He's fallen for you. Hurry and activate the return-to-reality function!] Jiang Ning glances at the black card in her hand, then feels her slightly rounded belly. “Give up being the wife of a billionaire and go back to being an overworked wage slave? Do you think I'm stupid?” #They agreed to win her heart, but she only wants to get in his pants# #The male lead thinks he's playing a substitute game, but he's the one who gets hooked# #System: Damn it, this Host is impossible to manage!# [Heartless, flirtatious heroine x aloof, abstinent male lead who falls hard] Coming soon: The Sultry Little Housekeeper of the 1980s [Gourmet] With her mother dead early, Xu Mingxiu has been worked to the bone by her stepmother. She gets leftovers to eat, but every dirty and exhausting chore is hers. Then, just as she comes of age, her stepmother plans to marry her off to a divorced old man with a child in exchange for a 300-yuan bride price. In her previous life, she meekly agreed, thinking she could put up with it. But the old man beat her again and again, until at last she curled up in the woodshed, her blood gone cold, with no one there to help. Given another chance, she won't put up with it. She rejects the marriage, leaves home, and becomes a housekeeper. * Lu Chenzhou was the strictest instructor at the military academy. After retiring due to an injury, he became gloomy and difficult to please. More than ten housekeepers came and went, but none of them suited him, until he met Xu Mingxiu. The little housekeeper cooks better than a restaurant, keeps the house spotless, and can even cure his stubborn insomnia. The only problem is... she's much too good at tempting him. The way her slim waist is deliberately outlined by her apron as she cooks, the way her pale ankles are always showing when she mops the floor, even how warmly she smiles at his coworkers when she brings him lunch at school, as if to catch his attention... He thinks the housekeeper has bad intentions, but at least her cooking is delicious, so he puts up with it. But he has to make his position clear. No matter how much she tries to tempt him, it won't work. He's a military academy instructor. He would never fall for a young woman with such ulterior motives. Until one day, a coworker at the school confesses to her. He can't take it anymore and corners her at home... “Instead of marrying him, why don't you marry me...” Xu Mingxiu rejects him outright. “What is so great about getting married? You have to have and raise children, and doing all the housework becomes your responsibility. More importantly, you don't even get paid.” “Instructor Lu, you're so outstanding. Why would you want to marry a housekeeper like me? Don't tell me you're just trying to save on housekeeping fees?” Lu Chenzhou: ...
