Sending love!] Wen Xin, the eldest daughter of a family of imperial physicians, transmigrates into a cannon-fodder female character in a novel set in a bygone era. According to the plot, the heroine, Chu Tian, is a top student who places first in the imperial examinations, while Wen Xin is a poor student who fails the middle school entrance exam. The heroine becomes a successful businesswoman, marries a wealthy and influential CEO, and enjoys a happy marriage and obedient children. Wen Xin, meanwhile, is a lazy, vicious, two-faced schemer. While plotting against the male lead, she accidentally targets his uncle. After the uncle dies in service, she shows no grief and keeps causing trouble until everyone turns against her and she finally gets herself killed. The heroine's parents dote on her, and all the elders adore her. Even Wen Xin's own mother likes Chu Tian so much that she would rather treat her like her own daughter. Then-- Wen Xin arrives. With such a wonderful era, why waste time causing trouble? She might as well study hard and work toward her goals: first get certified to practice as a barefoot doctor, then go to medical school to study modern medicine. Then, with her superb medical skills, she becomes a renowned academician whom countless people admire. Huh? Chu Tian wants to apply to be her graduate student? A hospital that works with Chu Tian's medical equipment company wants her to evaluate its products? Chu Tian's children write to her, saying they're her fans? Even the male lead calls to beg her to save his family! She can't help laughing out loud. So what if she's the cannon-fodder foil? She's already changed her fate. But what's with this handsome, roguish man in front of her? She went out of her way to save him and change his fate, but now he wants to marry her? As if! There's no way she'll agree, especially since he's the male lead's uncle! Then--well, she can't resist after all. Reading guide: 1.

Repaying a Kindness in 1970: I only want to repay you, but you want to marry me Ye Hu wakes up as a village girl in the 1970s. But why does the name of this village sound so familiar? Wait, isn't this the village where her benefactor went to work as an educated youth? And the young man up ahead looks just like her benefactor when he was young! Did Heaven send her back to repay her benefactor because of her sincere devotion? But why does her benefactor run away as soon as he sees her? Once she gets the original owner's memories, she wants to die on the spot. The original owner had been pursuing her benefactor, scaring him into avoiding her. So how is she supposed to repay him? She grits her teeth. As long as her benefactor is happy, she doesn't care if she loses face. When her benefactor goes to plant rice seedlings, she gets it all done in a flash. When he weeds, she finishes half a day's work in no time. When he has no firewood, she goes up the mountain to chop some at night and fills his kitchen with it by morning. The college entrance exams are about to be reinstated, so she gathers books everywhere, hoping he can do even better than he did in his previous life and never regret how things turned out. Someone can't stand her benefactor and tries to ambush him? Hmph, have a taste of her stick! The troublemaking woman her benefactor is engaged to comes demanding money? She exposes the woman's true colors and gets her benefactor to break off the engagement! Her benefactor smiles faintly. "Now that I'm no longer engaged, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Ye Hu immediately swears an oath. "I only want to repay you. I absolutely don't want to be your girlfriend. If I ever have such a wicked thought, may I be struck by lightning and never get married in my life." Huh? Why has her benefactor's face turned green? Why won't he talk to her? She really only wants to repay his kindness! But how can she resist when her handsome benefactor suddenly starts being both sweet and playfully teasing toward her? Ever since Wen Jun saved the girl from the Ye family, she had clung to him and insisted on marrying him. He didn't want to stay in the countryside, so he could only reject her. The girl made a scene, crying and carrying on until he was fed up, so he started avoiding her. Who knew that one day she would suddenly change? She still clung to him, but now she was helping him and no longer talked about marrying him. Instead, he gradually saw how capable, brave, and fearless she was, and how wholeheartedly devoted she was to him. Watching her, he began to think that perhaps staying in the countryside wouldn't be so bad. But just as he started dropping hints, she told him she would never have improper thoughts about him again. All she wanted was to repay his kindness. To hell with repaying kindness! But he felt miserable whenever he didn't see her, so he could only use the face she liked best to persuade and flirt with her into taking the college entrance exam with him. He was going to take his girl off to a better life. 2. Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Fears Nothing: I'm a cannon fodder, and I fear nothing. 3.
