Take the Money and Run After the Divorce

The End

Story blurb

Two systems travel through six worlds, all for the sake of becoming fully human.

After transmigrating into a book, Lu Ran finds herself holding the divorce agreement signed by the original owner. She looks at her devastatingly handsome ex-husband, then at the money she stands to receive under the agreement, and is utterly dumbfounded.

Shen Molin sees his ex-wife, who had been sobbing moments ago, suddenly fall silent. In a cold voice, he says, “Choose one: the money or me.”

Lu Ran dries her tears and walks away with the money without looking back.

The original owner was the male lead's beloved white moonlight and the female lead's close friend.

Even so, she was still just a cannon-fodder supporting character!

To escape her fate as cannon fodder, Lu Ran cuts ties with the female lead, deletes all the male lead's contact information, moves out of her ex-husband's home, and uses the various qualifications she earned in the past to find a job and start a new life.

Her new life has beauty, engineering projects, variety shows, fans, and her ex-husband...

Wait, her ex-husband?!

Lu Ran: “Excuse me, sir, could you stay out of my new life? I told you I was looking for a second husband. Did you just ignore me?”

Shen Molin rubs his forehead. “Before you say that, could you let go of me?”

Lu Ran: “No!”

Shen Molin: “You're the only one I want to marry again.”

A perfectionist on engineering projects who needs her ex-husband to hug and comfort her X a domineering CEO who's called cunning by everyone else, but is thought gentle by his ex-wife, his “old dad” persona

A few warnings:

1. The money she takes after the divorce is a loan, and she'll pay it back.

Lu Ran: “I don't want money I didn't earn. I borrowed it because I needed to live.”

2. They really do get divorced. The female lead uses a new divorce agreement they sign afterward.

The logic seems to have wandered off somewhere around here.

Coming soon: The Ghost Girl of the Passerby Big Shot

Ye Su transmigrates into a book, but not all the way, because someone cuts in line and takes her role. The System informs her that a well-connected person has stolen her character.

Ye Su: “??? So what if they're well-connected? I'm not transmigrating anymore.”

System: “No. You have to!”

And so Ye Su becomes a ghost that no one else can see. She watches the well-connected person who stole her role fail to change her fate and end up in the same tortured romance with the male lead.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Ye Su decides that being a carefree ghost with no memories is pretty nice.

She wanders through the novel world and makes lots of ghost friends, discovering that life as a ghost can be surprisingly full!

Still, Ye Su likes wandering through the novel world on her own, drifting around to see what everyone is up to each day. It passes the time.

Until one rainy night, Ye Su gazes through the rain at an advertisement on a distant building. A man walks toward her with an umbrella and tells her not to get wet.

She looks at him. Everything in the world is black and white to her, but with him, she can see all the world's splendor.

Though he's only a nameless passerby in the book, her life as a homeless wandering ghost is about to end.

Everyone: “Miss, take a good look. That man practically radiates the aura of a big shot. He's a passerby?”

Ye Su scratches her head, confused. “Isn't he a passerby?”

Zuo Yang hugs his adorable little ghost and smiles “kindly.” “Yes, I'm a passerby.”

Everyone: “Well... if he says he is, then I guess he is?”

Ye Su's ghost friends are at their wits' end. How are they supposed to tell her that the man who's so good to her is the god of this novel world?

Whenever they try to tell Ye Su, the god glares at them darkly.

It's really tough. Who knows when that silly girl will figure it out?

The one after next: When My Boyfriend Becomes the CEO of an Angsty Romance

Zou Yun and her boyfriend run away from their wedding, deciding they're too young to get married and that a marriage alliance is out of the question.

When they open their eyes again, they've both entered an angsty romance novel Zou Yun recently read. She is the tormented female lead, and her boyfriend, Lin Xingyuan, is the domineering CEO who torments her mercilessly.

They're now high school seniors. She and Lin Xingyuan sit in the back row together, both playing the role of underachievers.

The two top students exchange a look and feel speechless.

Zou Yun: “You know what I mean, right?”

Lin Xingyuan: “I do!”

So their classmates see Zou Yun, who used to chase after Lin Xingyuan, start studying, while Lin Xingyuan, who used to despise her, eagerly discusses math problems with his deskmate.

What could two underachievers possibly have to talk about?

Then, the following month, Zou Yun ranks first in the grade and Lin Xingyuan ranks second, just one point behind her.

Their classmates are still reeling when they hear Zou Yun smack Lin Xingyuan on the head and scold him: “You were controlling your score, weren't you? Think you're so clever, don't you? You were deliberately going easy on me, weren't you?”

Then they look at Lin Xingyuan, who crouches down with a concerned expression. “Did you hurt your hand?”

Wasn't Zou Yun supposed to be Lin Xingyuan's devoted admirer? What's going on?

Xia Fanrou transmigrates into an angsty romance novel as the male lead's beloved white moonlight.

If she's the male lead's white moonlight, why does he end up with the female lead?

She refuses to accept it.

So she decides to approach Lin Xingyuan, only to find him holding Zou Yun's bag and gently coaxing her.

Xia Yunxian: “??? Did I transmigrate into the wrong book?!”

Scene One

During chemistry class.

Lin Xingyuan looks down at a novel and curses as he reads. “That's it? That's all? What kind of trash is this male lead?”

Zou Yun: “Do you realize you're insulting yourself?”

Scene Two

Lin Xingyuan cries his eyes out over the female lead's suffering and emotional journey in the angsty romance novel, almost bursting into tears during study hall.

Zou Yun, noticing her deskmate, silently hands him a tissue. “Stop crying. It's just a novel.”

Lin Xingyuan: “TAT But we're in this novel! What if you end up like that?”

Zou Yun: “Wake up! You're the male lead now! Whether I end up suffering like that depends on you!”

Only then does Lin Xingyuan realize what she's saying. He takes Zou Yun's hand and says, “You're right!”
