A Yan is a ghost without household registration in the underworld, unable to be reincarnated. She sneaks into the human world to stand in for a ghost bride.

She thought it would be a mere formality, but to her surprise, her ghost-marriage partner could see her.

A Yan was stunned: !!!

But it wasn't a big problem. The purpose of the ghost marriage was to bring good fortune and help him survive the deadly trial he faced at twenty.

Once he got through it, she could earn merit and have a chance at reincarnation.

Just as everything seemed about to work out, an accident happened: she was caught by a ghost officer and taken to the underworld, while her unlucky husband failed to survive and died.

A Yan: ...

*

Back in the underworld, A Yan figured that since they'd met, they must have been fated to cross paths. She decided to help her poor husband and applied to send him to be reincarnated.

Instead, he transformed into a powerful figure from the immortal realm, surrounded by an otherworldly aura, cold and aloof, and utterly untouchable.

A Yan panicked. She'd heard that immortals were narrow-minded. She had married him while he was undergoing a trial in the mortal world, violating the laws of heaven. He certainly wouldn't let her off easily.

A Yan hurried to make her escape, but suddenly...

Lu Yuan swept out his sleeve, pulled her into his arms, and swore solemnly, "My lady, be at ease. You love me with all your heart, and I shall never fail to return your devotion."

A Yan: ???

A Yan: !!!

A Yan: ?! Get this straight: immortals and ghosts never have a happy ending.

Synopsis of The Woman Who Ran Away Pregnant After Being Transmigrated into a Book:

After Ye Siyu died suddenly from overwork, she woke up in the middle of a compromising scene. She was about to call the police when she realized she'd transmigrated into a book.

Worse, she'd become the heroine of an old-fashioned, melodramatic story about a woman who runs away while pregnant.

In the original plot, the heroine is drugged and sent to the male lead, who is attracted to her. Afterward, he throws money at her and humiliates her, demanding she become his mistress. Heartbroken, she runs away with their child.

Years later, they meet again. He chases her, she tries to escape, and she can't get away. That's just the beginning: there are also several generations of family grudges, and the story runs for over two thousand chapters. Just thinking about how complicated it all is makes Ye Siyu's scalp tingle. She promptly takes a morning-after pill, grabs the money, and runs.

One day, she can't stop throwing up. She assumes it's because she's been eating too much junk food lately.

Afraid of dying from overwork again, she books an appointment with the most expensive specialist. When she sees the test results, she is stunned.

Intrauterine pregnancy, 7+ weeks.

She can't let a child get in the way of her career. She immediately turns around and schedules an abortion.

Later, the baby is born anyway.

Looking at the soft little girl in her arms, Ye Siyu can't help falling in love with her after all.

Seven years later.

She is walking along when suddenly her foot twists and she falls into someone's arms.

The handsome, familiar-looking man opens his mouth and says, "Woman. You've successfully caught my attention!"

Ye Siyu: ...What a nuisance.

In the male lead's eyes, Ye Siyu's rejection is just playing hard to get.

"Woman, I'm even willing to be your child's stepfather. What more could you want?"

Ye Siyu: Is this idiot really the male lead?

Then she meets the mother of her investor, who looks almost exactly like the investor's daughter.

No way, no way. The person she slept with that night wasn't the male lead, was it?

Several years ago, Jiang Zhai was drugged and forced into a sexual encounter. Since then, he'd kept his distance from women. But later, he meets that woman again. She seems to have completely forgotten him.

Because she keeps appearing in his life, he has someone investigate her. When he learns she has a seven-year-old daughter, he, usually so calm and composed, knocks over his coffee cup.

Whenever he interacts with her, he waits for her to reveal her motives, but she never makes a move.

He watches her act without letting on. Yet the more he gets to know her, the more deeply he falls. He can't help imagining how happy they would be as a family.

By the time he realizes his feelings, a troublesome suitor has appeared at her side.

And she seems to have mistaken the man from that night for someone else, completely.

Jiang Zhai: !!!

Theme: Women must strive to stand on their own. That's the foundation of making a life for themselves.
