--Plot-focused version--
Jiang Yu transmigrates into the book as a foil to the heroine. Her role is to highlight the heroine's genius. The heroine is a once-in-a-century genius, while Jiang Yu is a once-in-ten-thousand-years waste. Whenever Jiang Yu tries to fight back, the System keeps making her stupider.
I'm done. Whatever happens, happens!
As the story progresses, her fiance falls in love with the heroine and wants them to live happily together. The male lead, her fiance, kills her to eliminate an obstacle.
Jiang Yu can't be bothered to fight back. She just wants to get out of this miserable world as soon as possible.
After she falls off a cliff, the System disappears. She survives and is rescued by a sickly monk.
Jiang Yu thinks she's been given a new lease on life and is grateful to the monk.
"For saving my life, in my next life..."
The monk joins his palms, his expression compassionate and otherworldly. "Why not repay me in this life by giving yourself to me?"
Jiang Yu: ???
Wake up, you're a monk!
Later, Jiang Yu repays him for saving her life by marrying him.

A strange pair of cultivators join an expedition into a secret realm in the Immortal Domain. One is sickly, the other useless. The other team members all think they'll just be throwing their lives away by entering the realm, and look down on them as dead weight.
Later, after their adventure in the secret realm, nine out of ten people who entered are injured, and not one of them finds a treasure. The only ones to emerge unscathed are the strange couple, who even take most of the treasures. They say the rest wouldn't fit because their storage bags were full.
Later still, a genius artifact refiner appears in the cultivation world. Every weapon she makes is a masterpiece.
Those who once looked down on them weep bitterly: I was blind. Please, great one, give me a chance to behold your masterpiece weapons.
Her former fiance: A Yu, I was wrong. From now on, I'll treat you well.
Her half-sister: We're sisters. We should share the good things.
Jiang Yu: No thanks. Don't bother me!

Next story: The First Minister's Easygoing Wife
Jiang Qingbo transmigrates into the body of a short-lived doomed character.
The original owner is delicate and sickly. She can't be exposed to wind or get angry, and she spends her life confined to the inner quarters. At eighteen, she will be so upset by news of her fiance falling for someone else that she dies.
Jiang Qingbo thinks the life of a homebody sounds wonderful.
No nine-to-five grind, no forced socializing. This life is practically tailor-made for her.
Lie flat!
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, rumors about the male lead and the heroine spread through every street and alley.
Her fiance is replaced by Lu Mingzhou, the male lead's older brother. He was the emperor's boyhood companion, is the court's most powerful minister, and oversees the criminal justice system. He isn't interested in women and is a workaholic who loves staying up late to work overtime.
On their wedding day, before even lifting her veil, Lu Mingzhou lays down three rules for her.
Her new boss wants her to be an easygoing wife and a doting mother. Jiang Qingbo is secretly delighted! But after only a short while, her wonderful life takes a strange turn.
She runs into her archenemy, a commandery princess, and Lu Mingzhou promptly appears to help her out.
He starts telling her where he's going before he leaves.
The man who used to work late every night now comes home on time every day to eat with her.
After several days of being forced to deal with this, Jiang Qingbo is exhausted. After a night of deep thought, she broaches the subject. "If you want a divorce, can't you just say so? There's no need to torture each other!"
Lu Mingzhou's face darkens on the spot. "A divorce? Don't even dream of it for the rest of your life."
A little scene:
Before marriage, Lu Mingzhou was the Great Wei Dynasty's number one workaholic. He not only made other ministers work overtime with him, but often forced the emperor to work late into the night too.
Emperor: "My dear subject, state affairs are important, but so is your health."
Lu Mingzhou: "Your Majesty, state affairs concern the lives of countless people. They can't wait."
Emperor: ...
After getting married, Lu Mingzhou leaves work on time and refuses to work overtime unless absolutely necessary.
The emperor teases him: My dear subject, state affairs concern the lives of countless people. They can't wait!
Lu Mingzhou: State affairs matter, but only if we stay healthy can we bring more blessings to the people of the world.
Emperor: ...
You never used to say that!
#The Great Wei Dynasty's number one workaholic becomes the number one anti-overtime champion#
#Working overtime? No chance. I won't do it for the rest of my life#

Oh, I stopped updating after such a long time.
It's a bit too fast, and it doesn't describe the process of the heroine falling in love with the hero, which is quite strange.
Well written, but the pace is a bit too fast
Why didn't I update it? And I didn't say a word. I was speechless.
Yu Fei probably wants it too. He probably wants to heal his brother's leg.
This is a money scam, run away
Why do you have the nerve to say that you will update slowly as circumstances arise?! Ah?! Refund!!! What I hate the most is that you are so irresponsible and want to cover yourself up with a fig leaf. You have been here for four months to update a chapter in order not to refund the money. Shameless, shameless.
Ah!!!!! Gone!!!!!
It won't contain the lake water, right?
