On her first blind date, Gu Nian met her younger suitor at the hospital and ran into Chi Jiang, the aloof dreamboat she'd had a crush on as a teenager.

Chi Jiang's voice was low, tinged with self-mockery or perhaps sarcasm. "Miss Gu, after all these years, your taste hasn't changed. You still only like eighteen-year-olds."

On her second blind date, Gu Nian ran into him again. Better yet, he was her blind date.

Chi Jiang stared at her face and let out an awkward little huff to show his displeasure. "It's just a blind date. You don't even know who the other person is. Why dress up so nicely?"

Gu Nian glanced cautiously at Chi Jiang, her earlobes turning pink as she murmured, "You think I'm pretty?"

Chi Jiang blinked and replied coolly, "You're all right."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept thinking about her for eight years, even after she had taken his feelings and walked away.

?

They unexpectedly met at a bar. Gu Nian crouched on the floor, pretending to look for her phone to avoid him.

Chi Jiang leaned toward her and waved the phone in his hand.

Gu Nian reached for it, accidentally brushed the back of his hand with her fingertips, then snatched her hand back as if shocked by electricity, her cheeks turning bright red.

Chi Jiang glanced at the back of his hand, then looked at her. A flicker of amusement crossed his eyes. He set the phone back on the table and said as he walked away, "Take it easy with the drinks. You get drunk and cause a scene."

The place was so noisy that he bent close to her ear to speak. The blush on Gu Nian's cheeks nearly looked as if it might drip blood.

Gu Nian froze. In her memory, she had only ever drunk with him once, the night before she left. She'd worked up the courage to offer herself to him, but then got drunk...

And she'd been completely wasted, with no memory of what happened. Gu Nian couldn't remember a thing about that night. Now that Chi Jiang had brought it up, she couldn't help wondering what she'd done to him. Had she really gone too far? How far?

The Ye family brought a stunning beauty back from the countryside. Everyone who saw her said, "How can this be a girl who grew up in the country? She must have lived on the very tip of the moon. She's beautiful from head to toe, practically glowing."

But she was so spoiled and unruly that everyone hated her.

When Ye Duoduo was reborn, she discovered she was living inside a book. As the cannon-fodder female supporting character meant to contrast with the heroine's beauty and kindness, she was supposed to make trouble at every turn.

The original story made no sense at all, just one wish-fulfillment moment after another. To let the heroine slap her in the face, Ye Duoduo got married and then tried to steal the heroine's male lead. The problem was, the male lead, Lu Shifeng, wasn't fit to lick even one toe of her husband.

Reborn and awakened to the truth, Ye Duoduo saw Lu Shifeng feeding the heroine candy. "Why would I like her? She's just some uncouth country bumpkin. If it weren't for Third Uncle, I wouldn't even bother with her. You're the only one I like, my little darling~"

Lu Shifeng turned around and came running to her with a shameless grin. Ye Duoduo looked at the milk candy he held to her mouth, slapped him across the face, and smiled sweetly. "Good boy, nephew. Call me Auntie."

Gu Xiyan was stern and dignified, and famously uninterested in women. What nobody knew was that a girl lived in his heart. Afraid of frightening her, he kept himself in check and carefully minded his every step, never daring to cross the line. At last, when she had grown up, he got to marry her, just as he'd hoped. Then she wanted a divorce...

The man, always so refined and proper, went wild. With bloodshot eyes, he cornered her and kissed her fiercely. The moment he did, he regretted it. Years of restraint and careful planning had all gone to waste.

Seeing Ye Duoduo crying uncontrollably, Gu Xiyan thought she would never speak to him again. He turned to leave.

A slender, snow-white hand gently tugged at his pant leg. Gu Xiyan turned around.

Ye Duoduo jumped off the bed, rose on tiptoe, and quickly kissed his cheek.

Gu Xiyan frowned. Had she really lowered herself this far just to get a divorce?

Ye Duoduo blinked. Was he angry because she hadn't been enthusiastic enough? So she took the initiative and kissed him on the lips.

The next morning, Gu Xiyan was afraid she'd bring up divorce again. "This won't happen again. I won't touch you."

"All right," Ye Duoduo said with a coquettish smile, snuggling into his arms. "Next time, I'll be the one to touch you."

In her previous life, she'd trusted the wrong people and given her heart to the wrong man. This time, she'd hold on tight to the man before her and love him with all her life, just as he loved her.

*

The whole compound was gossiping that Ye Duoduo didn't know how lucky she was, and that Gu Xiyan would get fed up and divorce her sooner or later... Wait, what are those two doing? Taking turns eating the same popsicle? When did they get so lovey-dovey?

Nobody knew what Ye Duoduo had said to him, but Gu Xiyan, who was usually so solemn, curled his lips into a smile. It grew wider, so tender.

Everyone: ??? Is this really the Gu Xiyan we know?

Sure enough, you can't envy someone else's good fortune.

Tan Yuan transmigrated into a period novel as the male lead's troublesome first wife. She made so much trouble that she ruined herself, and the heroine took her place. Her husband doted on the heroine, her child honored the heroine, and the heroine got every advantage.

Tan Yuan spread her hands and decided to give up. She'd stop causing trouble and return to her old tricks, starting by sweet-talking her family:

"The clothes my husband washes smell so nice! They're the nicest-smelling clothes I've ever worn!"

"The floor my husband sweeps is so clean! This is the cleanest home I've ever lived in!"

"The egg fried rice my husband makes is so delicious! It's the best egg fried rice I've ever eaten!"

No matter how old a man is, he's still a kid. What kid doesn't like being praised?

But to outsiders, the young wife in the Zhou family was even more troublesome now. She wouldn't wear clothes unless Boss Zhou had washed them, wouldn't stay in a room unless Boss Zhou had cleaned it, and wouldn't eat unless Boss Zhou had cooked it!

One of these days, Boss Zhou would get sick of her foxy face and divorce her.

Except he didn't.

One day, Zhou Jiangting woke up and saw his wife looking at him with shining eyes, as bright as the stars. Since she loved him so much, he decided to be kind and love her a little, too.

He could cook a couple more meals.

He could do a couple more loads of laundry.

As for the bed, of course he could warm it every night.

He loved her a little more every day, until he was hopelessly in love. Then, when he realized she didn't love him, he decided to love her even more!

The original heroine, reborn, saw that the male lead who had once been devoted to her wouldn't even give her a second glance in this life. He spent every day fussing over his troublesome little wife, like a stray dog that had spotted a bone.

Hey, something's not right with you!
