After Becoming a Bridal Stand-In, I Became Everyone's Darling

After a car accident, city planner Su Xiaoyao transmigrated as a new bride brought in to bring her sick husband good fortune. She thought her future would be utterly miserable and prepared to make a quick getaway.

But reality turned out to be...

Though her husband was seriously ill, he was gentle, good-natured, and warm. He not only gave her tens of thousands of taels of silver for pocket money now and then, but also bought an entire street and gave it to her as a present.

Her mother-in-law might be a bandit, but she spent all day in the kitchen poring over cookbooks just to satisfy Su Xiaoyao's appetite.

Her father-in-law was the head of an escort agency. With a grand wave of his hand, he gave her more than half his estate to try her hand at business.

Well, she owed them for all their generosity, so she had to stay. While she was at it, she put the city planning strategies she'd spent years developing into practice and accidentally became the richest person in town.

But every few days, someone would show up and cause trouble.

Her treacherous second uncle wanted to seize the family fortune, a beautiful love rival kept trying to steal her husband, and business competitors constantly undermined her.

She was about to plan a proper revenge when her seemingly harmless husband stopped her.

"Wife, let bygones be bygones."

Later on...

Her greedy second uncle became a gambler, barely scraping by.

Her vicious love rival became a prisoner and met a miserable end.

Her business competitors lost their entire fortunes and left town.

She looked at the man whose smile was as guileless as a child's. "And this is harmless?"

A little scene:

Su Xiaoyao was set up and accidentally drugged, then Jiang Siyun had his way with her.

Looking at the man, whose face was glowing with satisfaction, she complained bitterly, "Didn't you say you were dying?"

He rubbed his temples theatrically and pretended to be weak. "Don't blame me, wife. My illness is intermittent. Sometimes I'm well, sometimes I'm not."

Su Xiaoyao rubbed her aching lower back. "Right. You didn't take a break all night. Do you think I'm blind?"

An alternate setting, a slow burn, and a sweet married life that starts with marriage and grows into love.

Soft, sweet bride brought in to bring good fortune x Wealthy, seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless big shot

Coming soon from the author next door: My Swordsmith Sister's Family Has a Mine

Weightlifter Su Yueqiao woke up one day and transmigrated.

Her father had disappeared, her family was dirt poor, and her fiance had broken off their engagement. The only consolation was a run-down blacksmith shop.

Fortunately, she acquired an arsenal, stocked with all kinds of top-grade weapons and swords.

At a weapons appraisal fair, everyone waited to laugh at her.

Who knew she'd pull out a Black-tier willow-leaf saber, then a Ground-tier fish-gut sword, leaving everyone stunned.

In the days that followed, her shop kept putting out all kinds of top-grade weapons. So many people came to buy them that they nearly wore out the shop's doorstep.

Every swordsmith in town fell silent.

They were all blacksmiths, so how could she be the only one capable of forging top-grade weapons?

Everyone in the martial world knew that Demon Lord Wen Xinglie was capricious, capable of wiping out a major sect with a snap of his fingers.

But no one knew that his true form was a gold-devouring beast.

He especially liked melting down top-grade weapons into liquid and drinking it like black sesame soup.

At first, when his underlings brought him top-grade weapons from Su Yueqiao's shop, he turned up his nose.

"A tasteless lump of scrap metal. Take it away!"

Later, the Demon Lord even transformed into his true form to get his hands on more top-grade weapons, spending all day clinging to a certain woman's thigh and begging for cuddles.

Underlings: This is just... painful to watch.

Not long after transmigrating to an alternate era, star real estate agent Jiang Xia was abducted by an assassination organization.

After finally escaping, she and her older brother were left to live in desperate poverty.

They could eat wild greens and steamed cornbread at every meal, and even a boiled egg had to be split in half.

Just as the siblings were about to be driven out of their home and left with nowhere to go, Jiang Xia threw herself into the trade everyone looked down on most: becoming a property broker.

At first, everyone mocked a young woman for becoming a broker, saying she was debasing herself.

Later, with her silver tongue, she took on nineteen trades across Xichuan and became a renowned broker in sixteen cities of the northern frontier.

The Western Regions, northern tribes, small nations of the Eastern Sea... Wherever there was business, her brokerage had it under control.

She became an honored guest of the rulers of six kingdoms, gaining both fame and fortune.

People outside said she was richer than a kingdom.

Jiang Xia smiled calmly. "Give me one tael of gold, and you can dream even bigger."

A little scene:

Jiang Xia's motto in life: Life is short, but there's no end to making money.

She heard that the young master of the city's Datong Silver Bank was a kind-hearted fellow who got bullied whenever he went out to collect debts.

Seeing a business opportunity, Jiang Xia volunteered. "Young Master Chen, don't worry. Hire me as your assistant, and no debt will go unpaid!"

Later, Jiang Xia's memories began to return, and she couldn't shake the feeling that Chen Guannan looked familiar.

Jiang Xia: Have we met somewhere before?

Chen Guannan: You stole my family's heirloom jade pendant and chased me off like a dog. Do you think we've met?

Jiang Xia: ...All right, she finally remembered who the kid was.
