Shen Minghu is eighteen, a native of the capital. Her family treats her like a princess, giving her the stars if she asks for them and never settling for the moon, which has made her proud and haughty.
But Shen Minghu has earned the right to be proud. She's beautiful and talented: she can dance ballet, play the violin, and speak English and French fluently. After the college entrance exams, she was admitted to Peking University as the top scorer.
At the time, Xu Peixi, from a small-town family, stood breathless outside the campus gates, lugging a huge pile of luggage and wearing clothes washed so often they had faded.
Shen Minghu walked past him, smiling and chatting with her boyfriend, a golden boy adored by all.
She caught his gaze by chance. Shen Minghu, who had no shortage of admirers, knew that look all too well.
Then one day, a System popped into her head and told her she was the haughty sister-in-law of the heroine in a period novel. She looked down on her ordinary-born brother-in-law from the bottom of her heart and ordered him around. Years later, after Xu Peixi rose to power, the haughty young lady became his ex-wife and settled abroad in disgrace.
Hmph, a man who marries up, with his in-laws helping him along? Shen Minghu sneered. Help him? If she didn't trip Xu Peixi up, that would mean she had a heart of gold!
But then, one antagonist after another appeared around her, and Shen Minghu seemed to be the biggest villain of them all.
Born into privilege, rich and beautiful heroine VS. ambitious small-town man who rises to power while keeping his feelings bottled up
Reader's guide:
The plot is melodramatic, outrageous, and over-the-top.
A marriage story set in a period novel, with a contractual marriage, love after marriage, push and pull, and a love-hate relationship.
The heroine acts crazy but is a good person at heart who won't hurt anyone unless they hurt her first. The hero seems refined and noble, but he's genuinely twisted and gloomy, and flies into a rage whenever his wife is involved.
The heroine and hero's mental states gradually become more and more "beautiful."

Scorching Sun
It feels like a high-end and a low-end, the characters are jumping beyond recognition from the moment they are tied up, and the ending is also a hasty ending.
I really don't understand what the author wanted to do by writing the heroine like this? The heroine is like an unreasonable and troublesome god Jin? . . .
I only have one thought - 🥺 Can you return the Jinjiang coins?
Seeing this mess makes me heartbroken
It ended just like that, anticlimactically.
I don't understand the direction of the plot now. It's completely different from the heroine at the beginning who is smart, dares to speak and act, and has a clear sense of right and wrong. I don't understand what I want to express... And the latest characters are also very difficult to describe. How can they all be weird?!
I have no idea what the author is writing about, or why the plot is set up in this way.
So in the early days, the heroine was very respectful and treated everyone equally. Why is she treating the male protagonist like this now? It's not the male protagonist's fault. She could think clearly before, but now she can't think about it. She's too sick. She wouldn't be so stimulated by the death of a friend. She feels like her personality has changed. What's the direction of the story? I almost want to abandon the story. I originally thought this was not a story about female abuse. The heroine is perfect, as beautiful as a fairy tale. What happens next in the story makes her look like a god or a ghost? Acting in exaggerated, weird and disrespectful ways. You can't be so forced to bring the male protagonist and the female protagonist together.
No, I don't understand. Why did the character suddenly become so intelligent? You know clearly that the man has bad intentions but you still talk about your best friend's whereabouts, you know clearly that your character is not good but you still let a person with bad character call for help, you know that you are not good enough, can't you take other effective rescue measures... Not to mention Zhou and Wei were together in the end...
Why is winter written as a hammer and west as a hammer? I've done it several times and I really can't stand it anymore
