Can Such a Good Thing Really Happen?

After Lu Meng transmigrates into Changsun Lumeng, she discovers that she’s the heroine of a melodramatic tragedy.

In the book, Changsun Lumeng is abused in body and spirit by one person after another. Even the dogs on the street make a point of biting her. In the end, she finally moves Heaven and the male lead, then dies young, frail and sickly.

There’s a classic line in the book. Just before she dies, the heroine trembles as she asks the male lead, “Will you only care about me once I’m dead?”

After transmigrating, on the very first day of their marriage, the male lead tells Lu Meng, “You may use the gold and silver in this residence as you please. I can guarantee you a life of comfort and prosperity, as long as you obey me and don’t covet what isn’t yours.”

Looking at the male lead, who seems like an immortal descended from Heaven, Lu Meng can think only of one thing: “Use the gold and silver as I please, and live a life of comfort and prosperity...”

Lu Meng: “There’s really a deal this good?”

After their marriage, the male lead schemes and fights for power, trying to claim the throne, while Lu Meng diligently plays a useless pretty ornament. She refuses to use anything she knows about the twenty-first century to break the rules.

She absolutely will not covet the male lead’s love or take a blade for him. She insists on staying behind him, never slapping anyone in the face, and putting up with everyone’s insults so she can write them down and complain to the male lead.

Aside from being a little busy because all sorts of disposable villains keep trying to humiliate her, her life is so great it feels like she’s in Heaven.

It’s just that the System, which has been quiet for a long time, occasionally comes back to life and makes her say a line from the plot.

One night.

Lu Meng: “Will you only care about me once I’m dead?”

The male lead, who is working furiously in his study, puts aside his work and looks up. Then he angrily throws down his brush. He can no longer keep up his immortal composure and roars, “So are you planning to eat yourself to death, or waste away from sheer laziness?!”

Lu Meng: ...Don’t get angry just because you’re working overtime, Boss. Um, how about I let you cuddle me tonight?

Reader’s guide:

All jokes and references in the story are completely harmless and aren’t aimed at anyone. They’re just for laughs.

The heroine is a total couch potato. This is a slice-of-life story. If there’s nothing to do, she won’t force something to happen. I just want to write a beautiful, useless person so everyone can relax a little.

"Don’t Speak. The Moment You Do, You’re Not Him Anymore" by Sanri Chengjing

Qin Miaoyan is the supreme cultivator of the Unending Valley.

While rescuing a disciple, she’s astonished to discover a young cultivator who looks almost exactly like the lover she lost years ago.

At her level of power and status, there’s no reason to deny herself what she wants. So she uses a few tricks to bring him to her side, pruning and shaping him like a tree until he resembles her former lover.

Don’t laugh. The moment you do, you’re not him anymore.

Don’t speak. The moment you do, you’re not him anymore.

Don’t wear black. He never wore black.

Just when she’s finished shaping him to her liking and is enjoying the fruits of her labor, she discovers that the young cultivator is the son of her former lover!

Qin Miaoyan is shocked and furious. She’d been told that her lover died saving her, but it turns out she was lied to!

Before she can do anything, the little thing who always obediently did as he was told comes at her with a sword.

Eyes bloodshot, he feigns menace: “You lied to me! You said I looked like your late brother, and that’s why I kept doing everything you told me to. But it turns out you were doing it all because you couldn’t have my father!”

Her former lover, risen from the dead: “You... How could you become so deranged? He, he, he’s my son!”

Qin Miaoyan: “...Listen, I can explain.”

To hell with explaining.

I did it. So what?

Later, a disciple in the know from the Unending Valley said that the Supreme One made a clone and secretly pursued her little Daoist partner with humble devotion for over half a year before finally winning him back.
