Blurb:

Shi Yu spent many years scraping by in the apocalypse. Then, in a twist of fate, she transmigrated into a book and became the cannon-fodder female supporting character who was married off to the villain.

Not only would the male and female leads use her as a stepping stone on their road to success, she would ultimately die right alongside the villain.

Shi Yu, who had a spatial ability and a spiritual spring: ... Treasure your life and stay away from the plot!

But after marrying the villain, Shi Yu spent every day thinking about making money and running away. Then she discovered, to her horror, that some people in the book were exactly like people she'd met in the apocalypse!

Having spotted a business opportunity, Shi Yu used her spiritual spring to keep Gu Xingzhi alive while making a name for herself among the bigwigs as a "celestial master."

A little star who kept running into ghosts: Celestial Master Shi! I'll bring you business from the entertainment industry!

A wealthy wife with family troubles: Leave the rich families' cases to me!

A CEO who'd lost his fortune: Master, do you have enough money? If not, I'll transfer more right away!

Shi Yu: Don't ask. I've just heard too much gossip in the apocalypse.

She counted money until her hands cramped, always ready to kick the sickly Gu Xingzhi to the curb.

Until one day, the male lead showed up at her door, looking utterly distraught: Master Shi, save me!

Jealous to the extreme, Gu Xingzhi wrapped one arm around his wife and slammed the door with the other. "Can't be saved. You'd better get buried early."

Ever since Gu Xingzhi married Shi Yu, his leg stopped being lame, his heart stopped racing, and he could even hear his wife's innermost thoughts.

Not long after they got married.

Shi Yu: Boohoo, Gu Xingzhi, you absolutely mustn't die.

[The sooner you die, the sooner you're reborn, dear! I have a spiritual spring anyway, so even if you die, I won't!]

Gu Xingzhi: ??

Nearly six months into the marriage.

Shi Yu: Boohoo, Gu Xingzhi, someone bullied me.

[If I weren't trying to keep up my little crybaby act, I'd have beaten you all until your teeth were on the floor!]

Gu Xingzhi: ...?

Gu Xingzhi was surprised. His delicate little crybaby seemed to be different from what he'd imagined.

When he heard Shi Yu planning to get a divorce, he immediately took to his bed, trying to save their love before it fell apart.

The celestial master Shi, home for a brief break from her busy schedule, looked at Gu Xingzhi leisurely sipping spiritual spring water in bed and said in a low voice:

"Sure, but that'll cost extra."

A delicate little crybaby with maxed-out combat skills x a moody, unpredictable villain

Blurb:

Ji Yungui died in a car accident. When she woke up again, she found that she had transmigrated into a book, into the Fengming Continent, where mystical power reigned supreme. She had become the book's reborn female lead, and a foolish System that had mistaken her for the protagonist was bound to her.

"You are Ji Yungui, the legitimate daughter of the Ji family of the Fengming Continent. You should have had a happy marriage and a house full of children and grandchildren, but you married the wrong man. In the end, your mystical powers were destroyed and you died in bitterness. Now you've been reborn! The legitimate daughter has returned! You..."

Ji Yungui: Sorry to interrupt, but you've got the wrong person.

System: Now you've been reborn! The legitimate daughter has returned! You... What did you say?!

The foolish System refused to admit it was wrong and promised Ji Yungui that if she completed the plot missions, it would put her on the path to the pinnacle of life.

After reading all the setup: Ji Yungui: Isn't this just the standard setup for an old-school fantasy romance? Face-slapping, right? I can do that!

System: No, you're supposed to win them over with love.

Forced to be a saintess and use love to reform the book's idiots, Ji Yungui was thoroughly emo.

When faced with her shameless ex-husband, the male lead.

System: You have to forgive him.

Ji Yungui, with tears in her eyes, crippled the scoundrel by destroying all his mystical power. "I forgive him."

When faced with the vicious female supporting character who didn't know when to quit.

System: You have to forgive her.

Ji Yungui became a delicate white lotus, showing off such brilliant acting that everyone turned against the supporting character. "I forgive her."

When faced with the aloof, cool, and handsome male supporting character.

Ji Yungui: I know this trope! I'm already in love with him! Big brother, I'm yours!

System: Hold on! You're supposed to eliminate him!

Chu Yu was a renowned cultivation prodigy throughout the Fengming Continent. Though still young, he had already reached the peak of the Profound Rank. But he knew that this was only a world in a book, and that he would ultimately die a miserable death at the hands of the reborn female lead.

Having completely given up, Chu Yu had no interest in cultivation. He spent every day waiting for Ji Yungui to come and kill him.

That day, purple energy streamed in from the east, a sign that a powerful cultivator was breaking through.

Ji Yungui arrived before him on auspicious clouds, as ethereal as an immortal.

Chu Yu: You're here to kill me.

Ji Yungui: Then let's start this romance right away! [A wink like Zixia Fairy]

Chu Yu: ?

Theme: Nothing can stop me from living!
