The Timid Wife

New novel: “Should We Get Back Together?” Please bookmark it!

Five years after their breakup, Zhou Shiran returns to Shencheng to uncover the truth about her parents' murder. When she comes back, the city has already changed beyond recognition. Her once inseparable friend is now engaged to her ex-boyfriend, and her investigation hits one obstacle after another. With no other choice, she turns to her ex. Everyone says she's seeking his protection, and perhaps even she can't tell whether she went to Fu Qiheng to rekindle their romance or to save her own life.

Zhou Shiran: “You still love me, don't you?”

Fu Qiheng didn't deny it. “Yes, I love you. You may be the only woman I've ever loved in my life. But so what, Zhouzhou? The adult world isn't just about love. You can live perfectly well without it. I gave you my heart, and you treated it with disdain. You could leave without a word, and you could be so heartless that you didn't contact me for five years. No one stays in the same place waiting for you.”

Lai Xiaoyou (the second female lead): “You think Fu Qiheng is sincerely helping you investigate? Why not consider that he might have had something to do with your parents' deaths? His offer to help you could just be an excuse to keep you occupied.”

One day after they get married, Zhou Shiran brings up the past. “The adult world isn't just about love. No one would be unable to live without someone else.”

Fu Qiheng: “I just misspoke. The adult world isn't just about love, but only love can make an adult's world colorful.”

Little Scene:

Sister Liu chatters away: “I'm actually curious. Do they have trouble communicating with each other? Rich people don't talk about everyday necessities. They talk about stocks, funds, and business. What can people like us talk about? We can't ask every day, ‘Honey, did you eat today? What did you eat? What did it taste like? Did you use salt or sugar? Did you add soy sauce?’”

Sister Liu tells her animatedly: “At first, her husband patiently answered her. ‘Honey, today I had abalone and sea cucumber. Today I had vegetables and fruit.’ But over time, he probably got fed up and snapped, ‘You ask me every day, every day! Are you afraid I'll go eat shit and dirty your mouth?’”

There's a reason people have always said that a marriage should be between families of equal standing. Zhou Shiran and Fu Qiheng's married life doesn't have any major upheavals, but small conflicts keep cropping up. Let's see how they resolve their differences and uncover the truth.

[Blurb for this novel]

Su Qian wakes up one day and discovers that she has transmigrated into a book, becoming a farmer's young wife who has been married for two years. She's also a wicked female side character destined for a miserable end. She has no troublesome relatives around her, but she does have a male supporting character and a female lead eyeing her husband. It's bad enough that she doesn't have beauty on her side, but now she has to compete with the female lead for her husband, as well as compete with a male supporting character. Su Qian thinks her life is just too hard. She thought that with the book in hand, the world was hers, only to be told that the original owner had done all kinds of bad things: stealing candy from a little kid, riding her third uncle's cow, pushing Uncle Li's dog into the water, letting Uncle Liu's sheep escape, and sneaking cabbages from an auntie...

So the original owner really was a piece of work. Su Qian hides in a corner, trembling. Why doesn't this match the original story? She hurriedly clings to the future big shot, looking at Song Yuheng with tearful eyes. “Husband, if I say I didn't do those things, would you believe me?” Song Yuheng slowly pries her fingers off. “I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be fake? Are you saying I'm blind?” The male lead is terrifying. Su Qian had wanted to stay away from him, but then she discovers that whenever she does, she can't control her strange habit of stealing, stealing, stealing. With no choice, she has to keep clinging to him. Female lead who transmigrated into a book x reborn male lead

Blurb for “Transmigrated into a Skeleton”:

Zheng Yiran transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a skeleton. The world she's landed in is a little strange. Every household keeps a group of skeletons to guard the home and protect the grounds. The more prestigious the family, the more skeletons it attracts. Skeletons obey their masters' commands absolutely and swear to protect them with their lives. Skeletons are divided into three levels. Low-level skeletons have no consciousness and can only mechanically carry out their masters' orders. Mid-level skeletons have simple awareness and can communicate in a basic way. High-level skeletons are much like people, except that they have no flesh and are controlled by their masters. Every year, masters choose one well-behaved skeleton and turn it into a living person.

Zheng Yiran transmigrates into a skeleton in Song Qiangyu's household. To become human, she has no choice but to do everything she can to catch his attention. But three years pass, and she's still a skeleton without a body. After despairing, she decides to escape to another household and keep looking for an opportunity. But before she can get out the door, Song Qiangyu's sinister threat rings out: “Take one more step, and I'll smash you to pieces.” The few skeletons leaving with her stop and turn back toward the house. Zheng Yiran can only follow the crowd back inside and look for another chance to escape later.

Song Qiangyu notices that one of the skeletons in his household has recently developed a mind of its own and has tried to run away time and again. To add some fun to his daily life, he keeps the escape-minded skeleton by his side and watches it. He also discovers that this skeleton is different: timid and fearful, it insists on bathing, getting dressed, and putting on boots, despite being nothing but a skeleton without a body. It can't eat, yet it always eyes his food. Gradually, he realizes that this skeleton is actually bold enough to covet his body.

Little Scene:

One day, while they are out having fun, Zheng Yiran eyes the grapes on the table again. She can't eat them, but at least she can savor the taste. After checking that no one is around, she picks up a grape and bites it with her teeth. It's fresh and juicy, and the juice runs down her jawbone. She tosses the remains on the ground, wipes her facial bones with a handkerchief, and stands there as if nothing happened.

After Song Qiangyu returns, a little brat who had been secretly watching from a corner steps out and points at her. “That skeleton just stole a grape and smiled.”

Song Qiangyu looks at the grape remains on the ground and gives her a threatening look. All his friends scrutinize her. Zheng Yiran keeps her composure, cursing the little brat in her mind. “I'll admit I stole the grape, but you can't accuse me of smiling. I don't even have skin on my face. How could I smile? With my mind?”
