The Dessert Shop for Winning Back Your Wife

Recommended ongoing novel by the author: *The Good-for-Nothing Fairy Studies to Stay Alive*, updating diligently Yun Ting is a textbook rich second-generation beauty with nothing going for her, but she's carefree and has a big appetite. Until she awakens to the plot... She's supposed to be a useless fairy whose only job is to look beautiful, but she dies at the 60% mark?! Is it a crime to be a beautiful airhead? Well, fine. At least she has her good friend Shao Xuanyi. He's a fellow good-for-nothing and lousy student, but he's gentle, considerate, modest, and dependable. He's the only heir to the Shao family, so becoming a business tycoon one day shouldn't be hard. All she needs to do is cling to her friend's coattails... Then Yun Ting awakens to Shao Xuanyi's ending: after inheriting the family business and becoming a big shot, he'll be sent to prison by the righteous male and female leads, becoming the only male supporting character in the book to end up behind bars. Yun Ting: ... That's just ridiculous. With only five years left before she ends up in a grave, Yun Ting is lucky enough to bind herself to a "survival progress bar." Completing tasks earns progress, and she only counts as having survived once the bar is full. Progress Bar Beginner Task One: Get out of the bottom five in your class on the next monthly exam. Yun Ting, who's consistently second from the bottom in her grade: "..." Are even the beginner tasks supposed to be this hard? Thinking that they'd have a better chance of surviving if they worked together, Yun Ting grabbed her exam study guides and crept into her friend's bedroom in the middle of the night. Leaning over the bed, she asked, "Buddy, wanna study together?" Shao Xuanyi, jolted awake in the middle of the night: "!?" Yun Ting said solemnly, "If you don't study when you're young, you'll end up in prison when you're old." Still recovering from the shock, Shao Xuanyi: "..." It won't come to that. Seriously, it won't! Someone once asked Shao Xuanyi, "Why do you like Yun Ting, that empty-headed beauty?" Shao Xuanyi: "When you're as adorable, kind, innocent, righteous, beautiful, and worth hundreds of billions as she is, then you can judge her like that." In his eyes, all men were jealous that he'd won himself a fairy, and all women were jealous of his fairy's breathtaking beauty.
