Su Ruan has a cousin who transmigrated into a book.
Her cousin thinks she's the heroine and keeps trying to steal her opportunities and good fortune:
Because she wants to be a pampered wife, cherished by everyone, she steals the disabled soldier who proposed to Su Ruan, then schemes to marry Su Ruan off to an aspiring entrepreneur with barely a penny to his name.
But the cousin doesn't get her way.
Instead, Su Ruan helps the entrepreneur build a fortune worth billions and becomes a glamorous, wealthy wife.
After being reborn, Su Ruan discovers that her cousin is busily seducing the entrepreneur and plans to push the disabled soldier back on her.
Su Ruan: ???
Su Ruan only finds it funny. In her previous life, she was like a peacock displaying its feathers, showing everyone her pride and dazzling brilliance.
As for what went on behind the scenes? The less said, the better.
If her cousin wants it, she can have it.
Now that she's been given another chance at life, who needs marriage?
It's the 1990s, when gold is everywhere. The stock market is about to take off, real estate hasn't developed yet, and you can make money just by opening a factory.
With no one holding her back, life is amazing.
When she's pushed in front of the man supposedly destined for her, Su Ruan isn't worried at all.
This man is said to be an unpredictable lunatic who avoids women and has sworn never to marry.
She's only going through the motions, anyway.
Besides, there's no way she's becoming a pampered wife.
Sure enough, the man wears a world-weary expression and says, "I won't marry you."
See? There's no sweet romance here, either.
Years later, after dealing with her husband's illegitimate child, the cousin is forced to ask Su Ruan for a loan to keep her business afloat.
Standing meekly at the entrance to the Lu residence, she watches as the cold and terrifying man from her previous life dotes on Su Ruan, ready to give her the stars and not the moon.
She's utterly devastated.
H-how did this happen?
He wouldn't even give me the time of day in my previous life!
And why is Su Ruan even more glamorous than she was before?!!!
I even stole her good fortune this time around!!
Bonus scene:
When Su Ruan hears that she's the pampered wife in a period romance novel,
she signs a will donating all her property,
then looks at the scumbag man and his family of scumbag fathers, whom she's tormented until they're sobbing and wailing: ???
Me? A pampered wife? Pfft...
Lu Mingchen is famously known as the "Mad God," and loves nothing but the military.
What's a wife? Sounds like nothing but trouble.
One day, Su Ruan gets mad,
and he puts on his belt, secretly sucking in his stomach as he does.
He heard Su Ruan likes slender waists best.

Latest serial: The Matriarch Is No Good
After working herself to death in her previous life, Mu Wan's dream in this one is to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy life.
When she reaches the age to marry, she intends to pick a family with few rules where she can lie flat.
Instead, she's granted a marriage to Xie Heng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, whom everyone in the capital is eager to marry.
Her reborn stepsister gloats, "Don't get too pleased with yourself, Sister. The Marquis is ruthless, cold-blooded, and murderous. In a few years, you'll probably be widowed."
Mu Wan immediately picks out the key point: The Marquis has a short life, and in a few years she'll be mistress of the Marquis's household!
@
Everyone in the capital knows that the Marquis of Zhenbei, Xie Heng, has someone in his heart.
Mu Wan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, was chosen as his legal wife because she looks so much like the woman he loves.
Everyone thinks Mu Wan will be pining hopelessly for him and wasting away in sorrow as the marquis's wife.
Meanwhile, Mu Wan reclines in her rocking chair, eats tribute fruit handed to her by a maid, and admires the dancers' graceful movements. She sighs, "Lots of money, little work, and great benefits. Where else could I find such a good job?"
Oh, no, the entire marquis's household will belong to her someday. Heh heh...
With the mindset of the woman in charge, Mu Wan lives a carefree life in the marquis's household.
Xie Heng preserves himself for the woman he loves and sleeps in his study?
The very next day, she thoughtfully announces, "I can't have children."
Everyone is stunned: They only just spent their wedding night. How can she know she can't have children? Unless... the marquis is impotent.
As tonics arrive in a steady stream, Xie Heng: ...
The senior madam won't hand over the household accounts?
Mu Wan even feels a little embarrassed. Isn't it unfair to enjoy all the benefits without doing any work?
The exhausted senior madam hears laughter and cheerful voices from the neighboring courtyard: ...
How infuriating!
Her husband goes to a brothel?
Mu Wan is thrilled. She's never been to one, so she goes along.
The brothel's star performer dances wonderfully, and Mu Wan suddenly becomes very considerate: "If you like her, shall I take her as your concubine?"
Xie Heng watches as the spy he just assigned a mission to appears in his own backyard in the blink of an eye: ...
Mu Wan is living the good life,
but she vaguely feels she's forgotten something.
Then one day, Xie Heng returns, covered in blood...
Oh, right. Why hasn't her husband died yet? Wasn't he supposed to have a short life?
Xie Heng narrows his eyes dangerously. "I'm short-lived?"
Mu Wan: ...
Later, with her hair in disarray, Mu Wan can only think that the night seems to go on forever...
Damn it, who said he was impotent?
Oh, she did...
@
They say Xie Heng is cold and merciless, and despises people who fear death and love pleasure.
Yet when death comes for him, his first thought is that if he dies, where will the woman at home find tribute fruit? Will anyone bully her?
He thinks he has to survive so he can protect her and give her a long life of luxury and splendor.

Theme: Keep your feet on the ground. Relying on yourself is better than relying on others.
I may be different from others. I don't want to read children's stories. I like them everywhere. I don't like the fact that my daughter is the female protagonist and the male protagonist has already been determined. Although many people think that children are like aunts and smile, but I like the male and female protagonists, so I will see it from this perspective.
You can play with anything. If you provoke my husband since he was a child to hold my daughter and play games, I want to say that it is a child having fun, but the tone is consistent with the fact that he is an outstanding young man. Generally, fathers with daughters will be disgusted, and they know that they will be a couple in the future...
From the beginning of this story, the heroine was not resigned to her fate, otherwise how could she have changed people and endings in this life, but it was written that her future son-in-law was a given... She provoked the girl's father at the age of nine. Although it was a joke, most fathers have a warning that such children are not only excellent but also scheming. . ... It seems that it is not true love that will naturally develop and end together later, but that they accept their fate and accept it and then allow it to develop... Otherwise, if you try another girl's father, he will not be able to protect you. If the limit is exceeded, he will fall out. There is a limit to a child's jokes. If it is not a joke, it will be too scheming.
That is to say, I understand what the author wants to write about, another couple of childhood sweethearts, but the writing is a bit awkward, like plot advancement and not like children.
Thank you. I want to watch "Dandan's Sorrow". When will my wife start the trap? (Doge
Why is there no extra story about the male and female protagonists of the original book? I want to see my father-in-law dancing around qwq
The story is okay, but the book is worth reading
Tribute to the People's Liberation Army!
I've finished the game. Although there are a lot of good ones, and the female protagonist is like a fly that can't be killed from time to time, but the whole process is very enjoyable, especially the best chapters, which made me cry a lot. I will continue to read the next book.
At the end, I feel that Su Qingqing is not so hateful. The most hateful thing is the Gu family. In any case, what they have is created by Su Qingqing. These people get something for nothing just like in the previous life. In the end, they just end up in poverty. It is really unpleasant. It is a pity that the heroine met such a man in the previous life. God, such a man should become a eunuch.
I slowly finished reading it. I have read several of the author's books. They are all good and heartwarming and funny. There are some chapters in the middle that are a bit slow, but the overall rhythm is quite good. I want to read Dandan's sad extra! ! ! Hahahahaha
I came here after reading "The Art of Mind Reading". The articles are very sweet~
Not only is there a lot of great stuff, but it also jumps from beginning to end, which makes people a little irritated, but the male and female protagonists are quite good.
