Blurb:

The thing Jiang Zhao regretted most in his life was arguing with his mother over his college entrance exam application and running away from home. His mother drove out in the pouring rain to look for him, got into a car accident, and died despite medical treatment.

When Jiang Zhao woke up, he had returned to the year Jiang Lili was seventeen.

At this point, Jiang Lili was still a carefree high school student.

Pure and bright, not yet bent beneath the weight of life.

Even more fortunately, she hadn't yet met the man who was destined to be unable to make her happy.

Looking at the lively, spirited girl before him, Jiang Zhao had no grand ambitions. In this life, he only wanted to help her achieve her dream of getting into A University and make sure she could live well enough to eat whatever she wanted.

But he accidentally went too far. Not only did he become a nationally celebrated prodigy, he also helped his maternal grandfather, who had nearly lost his job, build a thriving business, and ended up raising himself into a “third-generation rich kid.”

Ever since Jiang Lili took on a “godson,” she felt as if she'd found herself a dad.

No chasing celebrities, no staying up late. Study hard and keep improving. Her life goal was to get into A University. Most importantly, she absolutely mustn't start dating too young, especially not a soldier.

Even her real dad never kept such a close eye on her.

Jiang Zhao watched her like a hawk, but still couldn't stop Jiang Lili from meeting that man, Sheng Huaiye, the aviation academy's most handsome student, and falling in love at first sight.

Jiang Zhao throws a tantrum and sprawls between them. “If you want to date, you'll have to step over my dead body!”

Jiang Lili walks around him and loops her arm through Sheng Huaiye's. “Don't mind him. He's a kid, and he doesn't know any better.”

Sheng Huaiye smiles kindly. “When a kid misbehaves, it's usually because he needs a good lesson. Just give him a beating.”

Jiang Zhao, you're in danger!!!

Jiang Zhao: The story of how I tried every trick in the book to break up my parents, but they still got together

[Coming Soon. Please add to your list.] Born a Rich Second-Generation Heir

Blurb: Five-year-old Su Duoduo had a dream. Her father went away to work and never came home. One day, her mother was picked up in a car and taken away too. Grandma gave all the good food to her uncle's son. She was so hungry that she went out looking for something to eat, but someone put her in a sack and threw her into the river. The water was freezing, and she couldn't breathe...

When Su Duoduo woke up, she burst into tears and clung to her father's leg as he prepared to leave for work with his bags on his back. “Dad, don't go...”

Su Mingchuan was reborn and learned that he was the protagonist of an eighties-era rags-to-riches novel. Despite all his success, the greatest regret of his life was that his beloved daughter had been murdered by evil people, leaving no body behind.

In this life, he wouldn't leave his daughter behind again. Wherever he went, he would take Duoduo with him and raise her well.

As for his wife, who was about to be taken in by her wealthy biological parents and marry into a rich family, Su Mingchuan asked her only out of courtesy, “Do you want to come with us?”

Lin Qiujing quickly packed her little bundle. “Let's go, let's go. Right now.”

Lin Qiujing transmigrated into a period novel about a fake heiress and a real heiress, becoming the real daughter whom her biological parents brought back for the sake of a marriage alliance.

The real heiress was timid. Her mother-in-law made her life miserable in her former husband's home. After abandoning her husband and daughter, she was used by her biological parents as a tool to curry favor with others and married off to an abusive man. She suffered endlessly and eventually became mentally ill.

To avoid the fate laid out for her in the novel, Lin Qiujing had no choice but to cling tightly to the future big shot Su Mingchuan. With Brother Chuan around, she'd never go hungry.

Su Duoduo knows now that dreams are the opposite of reality. Her mom and dad never left her, and the whole family lives happily together.

They even moved to a big city and live in a spacious, bright house. She has more delicious food than she can eat and more pretty dresses than she can wear.

When she visits her hometown, she eats a lovely little cake while her uncle's son watches longingly, sniffing and sucking on his fingers. She won't give him any!

Blurb:

Lin Chenxin, a promising young doctor, transmigrates into a seventies-era novel about raising children with a soldier on a remote island. She becomes the ill-fated foil who leaves a comfortable life in the big city to follow the male lead to a desolate island where not even birds lay eggs.

The original heroine is hardworking, kind, virtuous, and patient. Not only is she the male lead's capable partner, she also raises his three fallen comrades' orphans with painstaking care, eventually winning an enviable, happy life.

By contrast, Lin Chenxin is spoiled, lazy, and always trying to compete with the heroine. She causes trouble at every turn and ends up despised by everyone.

Lin Chenxin, after reading the plot: Are the seafood not delicious, or are the handsome men not good-looking enough? Why would I be so crazy as to rush into becoming someone's stepmother?

So:

While the heroine works herself to the bone doing laundry and cooking for the whole family, Lin Chenxin relaxes and directs a handsome young officer to fetch water and plant vegetables.

While the heroine's life is thrown into chaos by rebellious, unruly children, Lin Chenxin sits peacefully in a rocking chair, drinking tea, reading, and eating snacks she made herself.

While the heroine struggles to support three children on the male lead's salary, stretching every penny as far as it will go, Lin Chenxin carefully picks out abalone and king prawns from the fishermen's boats as they return from sea.

Lin Chenxin thinks she's doing a pretty good job as the foil...

She spends her days strolling along the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and waves, flirting with handsome guys, eating seafood, and treating the locals for headaches, fevers, bumps, and bruises. Once you get used to this kind of life, it's actually pretty wonderful.

Shen Yan is just like his name: passionate and hot-tempered. He was originally sent to the island for refusing to follow orders, but he thrives in this vast new world.

He just can't understand how a free-spirited young man who loves nothing more than doing as he pleases could end up meeting Lin Chenxin, his natural nemesis, and be thoroughly tamed into an excellent bricklayer, carpenter, farmer, and chef.

Oysters, scallops, king prawns, sea snails, crabs, and golden abalone. This woman may be spoiled and difficult, but she sure knows how to eat. Ever since he met her, life on this quiet island has become delicious and full of color.

A short scene: One stormy night, in the island's only operating room, a simple facility, Lin Chenxin's heart wavers with the wind and rain as she faces the badly injured Shen Yan.

Shen Yan takes her trembling hand, his gaze resolute. “Lin Chenxin, I'm putting my life in your hands.”

Meaning: Study hard and keep improving
