Everyone says Yun Laosi is lucky. His family is dirt-poor, yet he raised two daughters as beautiful as fairies. His biological daughter, Yun Shan, is especially lovely. Not only is she beautiful, she's kindhearted and sweet-tongued, bringing warmth to everyone around her.

His adopted daughter, Yun Zhi, is even prettier, but her personality is so awful. She's arrogant and domineering, touchy and troublesome. If she can't be happy, she makes sure no one else can be, and everyone around her wants to wring her neck.

The day Yun Zhi woke up to the truth, she'd already driven the whole family to the brink of exhaustion. Yun Shan, ever considerate, stepped forward. "I'll marry in my sister's place."

"Dream on! Why should I give you my man?" Yun Zhi scrunched up her pretty face, let go of the noose she'd been holding, stepped down from the stool, and gave Yun Shan a petulant huff. "If anyone's marrying him, it's me. I'm not letting you take him!"

Everyone was exasperated. Here she goes again.

After all, this marriage wasn't a happy match. She was being sent to marry Jiang Tingzhi to bring him good fortune.

Jiang Tingzhi was the original male lead's uncle, and the two were mortal enemies. He was seriously ill and bedridden year-round, and seemed to have something wrong with him psychologically, too. His moods were unpredictable, and everyone feared him.

They also said he was horribly ugly...

But that was only what people said. Yun Zhi ran through the original story in her head. Jiang Tingzhi was actually quite handsome, and more importantly, he was rich.

Why not marry him? She'd have more money than she could spend and could keep acting however she pleased. But as she carried on, she realized the male lead and his uncle were looking at her strangely.

Wasn't that the female lead's role? Yun Zhi, a supporting character, couldn't care less. A brat forever, and everyone else is just a little brother.

Jiang Tingzhi married a village girl, and a ridiculously troublesome one at that. She turned the whole Jiang household upside down. Just wait, she'd drive Jiang Tingzhi to his grave within a month at most.

Who knew Yun Zhi was so capable? She could annoy the living to death, and bring the dead back to life.

A year later, Jiang Tingzhi accompanied his wife to the department store, shopping bags hanging from his hands and around his neck. A passerby recognized him and was stunned. "Didn't the rumors say Jiang Tingzhi had been angered to death?"

Yun Zhi's feet were tired. She kicked off her high heels and ordered coquettishly, "My feet hurt. Carry me on your back~"

The passerby thought: They say Jiang Tingzhi is cruel, gloomy, and strange. If he knows how to cherish a woman, I'll let you kick my head around like a ball...

Jiang Tingzhi not only scooped her up in his arms, but put his own leather shoes on her feet.

The passerby thought: Rumors are just rumors.

With tears in her eyes, Yun Zhi pounded his chest with a little fist. "I don't want you to carry me in your arms. I want you to carry me on your back. Don't you love me anymore?!"

The passerby thought: She really is a handful. So some rumors are true after all.

Yun Zhi came up with every possible way to make trouble, until it seemed only natural, until she seemed so fragile that everyone thought she couldn't live without him.

Ye Wan, a little sugar spirit, transmigrated into a book and became the contrast to the female lead in a stepmother novel.

Her cousin Ye Zao was diligent and capable, enduring every hardship without complaint. After getting married, she honored her in-laws, disciplined her stepchildren, and used love to win over the whole family. In the end, she earned her husband's approval and heard the children call her "Mom."

The original owner, on the other hand, was lazy, fussy, and troublesome. After getting married, she picked fights with her in-laws and quarreled with her sisters-in-law, turning the whole family upside down. To seduce her brother-in-law, she abandoned her husband and children, and ended up alone for the rest of her life.

Everyone compared her to Ye Zao. Ye Wan gave a haughty little snort. "Serving people is her business. I like being served."

Her sugar levels were off the charts. Being bratty was just right for her.

So...

While Ye Zao worked like a beast of burden to win over her in-laws, Ye Wan had already become the darling of her entire marital family. The first and last pieces of meat at the dinner table were always saved for her.

While Ye Zao's stepchildren made her vomit blood three times a day, Ye Wan had already given birth to adorable twins, a boy and a girl. Whenever they went out, her son carried the water and her daughter held her bag.

While Ye Zao had to fawn over her husband as if he were some lord, Ye Wan didn't have to lift a finger. She just sat there looking sweet, and her husband had eyes only for his little princess. He treasured her so much, afraid she'd break if he held her and melt if he kept her in his mouth.

Song Cheng was too honest. A year after his wife joined the family, he hadn't even touched her fingers. After downing a few shots of liquor, he pushed open Ye Wan's bedroom door.

Ye Wan was sitting on the edge of the bed and thought he was taking too long. With tears in her eyes, she demanded, "Is my bathwater still not ready? Don't you love me anymore? Men really are all the same. Once they have you, they don't cherish you. They only regret it after they lose you. Fine, I'll leave."

Song Cheng dropped to his knees and grabbed Ye Wan's leg, pleading and coaxing her every which way.

After a long while, Ye Wan smiled again, bent down, and whispered in his ear, "I'm in a good mood today. I want a baby, so do your best~"

Song Cheng clutched the hem of his clothes, the tips of his ears red.

Didn't she love her brother-in-law more than anything?

Afterward.

Song Cheng: My wife's bathwater is sweet.

Ye Wan: Don't mind that your man's a bit rough. He'll always treat you well, he's all muscle, and life with him is pretty enjoyable.

Deputy Factory Director Xia broke off his engagement and married Ye Zao. In a huff, Ye Wan turned around and married Song Cheng, a temporary worker at the factory. She didn't have the life of a factory director's wife, but she had all the ailments of one. She insisted on the best food and clothes, and was ridiculously demanding.

The entire factory's residential compound watched and waited. Song Cheng would divorce her sooner or later.

But not only did they stay married, their life just kept getting better. Who cared about being a deputy factory director? Ye Wan didn't, and neither did Song Cheng. Ye Wan liked good food, so Song Cheng opened a restaurant. Ye Wan liked nice clothes, so Song Cheng started a clothing factory...

The original female lead, Ye Zao, was green with envy.
