Blurbs below~ [Blurb] After being reborn, Su Yuanhua discovers by chance that she's actually a cannon-fodder tool character living in a novel, and that her fate has already been decided. In short, her purpose is to give birth to the second male lead, die young to drive him down a dark path, then have her son, the now-darkened second male lead, do all sorts of suicidal things to help the male and female leads fall in love, and finally sacrifice his life to save the female lead? Who wrote this garbage plot? I can put up with a lot, but not this! After awakening, Su Yuanhua tears up the script and vows to defy fate. The idiotic System sobs: Where is my big, wonderful second male lead? I can't do without him~ Su Yuanhua sneers: Beg me. If I refuse to give birth, what can you do about it? The System drops to its knees. It can't kill the bug, and it's about to crash! Please, please, having a baby is supposed to be wonderful, so why turn down happiness? The baby's father is right here at your door. Have the baby, have the baby, have the baby~ Su Yuanhua wipes the corner of her mouth. It really is wonderful. Fine, she can have the baby, but she gets to decide how to raise it. She's the real mother, so what she says goes. Besides, she has the country backing her up. What is there to fear? The System is being sold and still counting the money: Thank you, great benefactor Su, for giving me back my second male lead. The world is saved! Su Yuanhua smiles benevolently: The world is our home, and keeping it safe is everyone's responsibility. Of course I'll help. But disasters like earthquakes and floods take too much energy to run as plotlines. How about we delete those? The naive, sweet System is sorely tempted: I want to, too, but major historical events can't be changed. Sorry. Su Yuanhua is understanding: If disasters can't be avoided, helping with relief efforts should be fine, right? Just issue weather forecasts, scan some data, that sort of thing. I won't cause you any trouble. The System is moved to tears: Sure! No trouble at all! Su Yuanhua's smile grows ever more kindly as she secretly considers what other uses the System might have besides weather forecasts, navigation, and detection. One person's ideas are limited. Better not to think about it alone. She'll hand it over to the country and sit back while they take care of everything. I've Heard Good Researchers Get Assigned Partners Blurb: In her previous life, Hua Nong studied all the way to a doctorate. After graduating, she was obsessed with research, neglecting sleep and food and wishing she could live in the lab. She was still single when she died of overwork. After unexpectedly transmigrating into the body of a country girl in a small village in the 1970s, Hua Nong decides, now that she has the time and energy to study, that she must learn from her past and sort out her love life as soon as possible. A lifetime of being single since birth was failure enough. She refuses to give up! But where is she supposed to find a partner? Hua Nong unceremoniously sends away the Nth scheming villain who tries to tempt her with sugar-coated bullets and undermine her will to study, wasting the precious years of her youth. She proudly plants her hands on her hips and sneers inwardly: What haven't I seen before? You think one boiled egg, half a steamed corn bun, and two roasted sweet potatoes can tempt me? I'm not interested in such worldly desires! All of you, move aside. Don't disturb her studies. She needs to graduate quickly, do research, and help build the country! When she has time, she'll find a partner and fall in love. She's busy. Who has the patience to deal with these malicious, sneaky villains? In her previous life, foreign powers had tried every possible way to woo Hua Nong and poach her talent, so she stays extremely alert, heart devoted to her country, and eagerly draws closer to the organization. At the same time, she keeps her eyes open, hoping to find her future partner in the vast sea of people. He should have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Most importantly, he must have a full head of hair! She searches and searches, but even after waiting until her eyes ache, she can't find him. Hua Nong feels dejected. She has to admit that she lacks talent in this particular field. Her failure in her previous life is proof enough. When in trouble, turn to the organization. Rumor has it that good researchers get assigned partners. She must not have reached that level in her previous life because she hadn't contributed enough. This time, she'll work hard! Several years later, missiles and satellites have taken to the skies one after another. Hua Nong shuffles out of the lab, leaning against the wall for support, and sees the handsome new guard the organization has assigned her. Her eyes light up, and she rushes over, gives him a fierce kiss, and leaves a stamp of approval: "You're the partner they assigned me, right? Sob, the benefits are incredible! The quality is excellent, I'm very satisfied. It's you! Come home with me." Yun Ting is caught off guard by the ambush. With a tooth mark on his cheek, he goes to report to his superior: His assigned charge seems to have developed a mental health problem. Could it be too much work pressure? The superior is delighted: "Call it a workplace injury. When you two get married, I'll give you double the wedding gift!" Yun Ting: ...That's not why he came to ask for help. Never mind. Today isn't a good day to talk about work. His superior seems to have gone crazy with joy, too. Is the work pressure really that bad? He should go back and comfort and counsel Dr. Hua. She's a national treasure. Decades later, after Hua Nong passes away, her diaries from her lifetime are made public. On the title page, a line of bold, free-flowing handwriting reads: All the romance in my heart throughout my life belonged to you. I was true to my country and true to you. Below it, a line of strong, vigorous handwriting replies: Faithful to my country and faithful to you. Through wind and rain, we walked hand in hand. I will always be your strongest support. Don't Come Looking for Me After the Divorce [Period] Blurb: After being reborn, Cen Yingchun keeps wondering what marriage has ever given a woman. A husband who's never home, rebellious children, a birth family that's always causing trouble, in-laws who are conceited and constantly find fault, and herself, a full-time nanny who works year-round without pay or appreciation? No. She can't go on like this. Divorce, then build a career! But how does she build a career? Inspiration strikes Cen Yingchun: If you're not clever, you have to read more. Books hold a golden house! Money gives people courage. Once she's feeling bolder, Cen Yingchun quietly ponders the next line: Books also hold beauties~ Well, the affairs of a scholar can't be called lecherous, can they? She just wants to give all the adorable young men in the world a home. Xiao Hong refuses to be left out, rubbing against her left arm: Sis, don't be so strict about gender. I can do it, too~ Xiao Lan feeds her a peeled grape and cuddles up: If Sis can do it, so can I! Wang Gang, pushed aside, glances at the former husband who's come looking for her with a dark expression, and signals the sisters to unite against him first: An older man will only make Sis wash clothes, cook, and serve his whole family, and he'll always scowl at her. Not like me. I only want Sis to be happy~ The former husband, the one now suffering through a campaign to win back his wife: What does a kid like you know? Older men are the best! Cen Yingchun, who's seen it all: Isn't an old man just relying on a handsome face? Looking at it for a lifetime would get boring. Only a fool would fall into the same trap twice. The aloof flower of a former husband changes his tune in an instant, his words dripping with the sweetness of tea: Sis, I don't want to work hard anymore, either. Foolish Cen: Uh, how can that face be both innocent and alluring? That's cheating... The former husband, whose rise to the top seems to be going smoothly, looks down on his many admirers: Once an older man gets serious, there's no place for the young ones. As long as I don't die, you lot will remain consorts! Theme: Give every day everything you've got.
