The System Is Keeping Me From Finding a Wife

The blurb for my upcoming novel, From the Start, Penniless and Relying on My Wife to Support Me, is at the very bottom ↓

Mo Rufen dislikes that System, and she dislikes the so-called Chosen One of Fortune, too. After being forced to complete the mission, she looks back, only to find that the person she loves is looking at her differently.

Mo Rufen looks down at the handcuffs on her wrists, then at the obviously gloomy expression of the person she loves. Can someone tell her what on earth is going on?

Li Su watches Mo Rufen obsess over another man, watches her smile sweetly by someone else's side, while he can only endure her cold shoulder and let her use him. He watches her come to him for the sake of another man. Faced with Mo Rufen, who has come to him willingly, Li Su smiles.

Is keeping you by my side the only way to make you belong to me forever?

The blurb for my upcoming novel, From the Start, Penniless and Relying on My Wife to Support Me

.

Yan An transmigrates into a book, becoming the former wife of the female lead in an ancient-era imperial exam novel.

Before her death, Yan An's elder had borrowed money to help her marry a wife, but Yan An looked down on her. She thought her wife was stupid and uncouth, and unworthy of a licentiate like herself, so she treated her with indifference and ignored her.

But Yan An is useless at even the most basic chores, and the household is entirely supported by the female lead. Even the rice she eats is bought with money the female lead earns doing odd jobs, yet Yan An still thinks she is better than everyone and dreams only of changing her fate through the imperial exams.

In the end, after failing the exam, the former wife drowns in a pond while drinking her sorrows away. The female lead, meanwhile, teaches herself using the books she left behind, embarks on the path of the imperial exams, and becomes Heyun County's first female top scholar.

Yan An: Wow, a freeloader who still acts superior. What an amazing female lead...

-

Looking at the completely bare house, counting the debts they owe, and remembering that there are two more mouths to feed, Yan An clutches her chest in anguish, unwilling to accept such a catastrophic start.

Passing the provincial examination would solve everything, but after opening a book and seeing its contents, Yan An snaps it shut and earnestly hands it to the female lead.

You do it. All a stupid oaf like me needs to do is support you.

You focus on studying for the exams, and I'll earn money to support the family!

Wen Ying, who has never once received kind treatment from her, is left speechless by this change in Yan An: "..."

-

Yan An knows her wife of convenience is a woman with a mind of her own. In the novel, the original Yan An is the shackle that binds the female lead. Only after Yan An dies and the female lead is free of her does she soar to greatness.

All Yan An can do is improve their family's circumstances as best she can, be a good person and support her wife's studies, then wait for the right moment to let her fly away.

-

Yan An gives up her studies and goes into business. In the eyes of scholars, she becomes a merchant, the lowest sort of person, reeking of money. She also becomes the most conspicuous stain on the newly crowned top scholar's reputation. Yan An knows it is time for them to part ways.

On the day they are to divorce, Wen Ying, usually composed and gentle, changes expression as she looks at the divorce papers in front of her. A twisted look flashes in her eyes. Gripping Yan An tightly, she grits out, "Are you divorcing me because you still can't let that person go, and want me to make room for her?"

Wen Ying tears away her calm facade and holds Yan An captive, revealing the obsessive, jealous nature hidden beneath her skin.

"Yan An, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I am the only one who can be by your side!"

Theme: If you can't fight back, first learn how to lie low.
