[Blurb]

CEO Jiang Shu returns to the age of eighteen and lands in Wen Yue's school days. And who is Wen Yue? The troublesome daughter-in-law who was just pulling her hair yesterday.

As a petty, vicious mother-in-law, Jiang Shu is determined to live this life differently and cut the tie between her son and daughter-in-law!

Step one: Get close to the enemy!

After a lot of effort, Jiang Shu finally becomes Wen Yue's deskmate.

But Jiang Shu doesn't know that Wen Yue is being bullied at school when she's seventeen. The wicked mother-in-law, who ought to be delighted, can't take it anymore. She grabs her daughter-in-law, who's crouching in a corner and secretly wiping away tears. "Come on! This awful school isn't good enough for you! Mo... I'll transfer you to another school!"

Wen Yue, eyes red, looks at the strange deskmate who is always giving her the cold shoulder and asks, confused, "?"

Step two: Change Wen Yue's taste in men!

Jiang Shu transfers Wen Yue to her son's school. Pointing to the provincial model student on the awards platform, who has an exceptionally handsome face, she says seriously, "See that guy? Bad-tempered, rude, never washes, and always scowling. Whatever you do, don't get together with him."

Wen Yue trusts her good friend completely. "I'll take your word for it."

Step three: She's growing on me

Later... Jiang Shu likes Wen Yue more and more. Every day when she gets home, she sighs, "When will I get her to come home and be my daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Lian gives Jiang Shu a gloomy look. "I can't win her over. Her petty best friend told her I'm no good..."

*

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are enjoying their happy little life, devastating news arrives from afar!!!

Jiang Shu's short-lived ex-husband has come back from the dead...

[Coming soon 1: After the Brooding Man Locked Me Up, I Chose to Take the Civil Service Exam]

After being worked to death at her exploitative job, Wu Jiangluo dies of overwork. When she opens her eyes again, she's become the doomed villainess in a melodramatic novel, a woman who constantly picks fights with the heroine. In the end, the heroine's younger brother, a perverted, brooding creep, keeps her as a plaything and imprisons her, leaving her with a miserable fate.

Wu Jiangluo's heart comes back to life when she opens the door.

A luxurious, detached three-story villa with excellent natural light. The gym and yoga room are fully equipped. It's cool in summer and has underfloor heating in winter. The only downside is that she can't order takeout and has to cook for herself. Oh, and she might have to deal with the male lead's occasional attempts to torment her.

Other than that, this place is her dream home! A quiet setting, free utilities and rent, no social life thanks to the gated community, and a strong Wi-Fi signal...

Wu Jiangluo stares blankly for three seconds. Holy cow, this is the perfect place to study for the civil service exam!

She clenches her fists, her gaze resolute. This time, she will seize her chance, escape the depths of capitalism, and fight her way into the civil service!

"Don't you like my brother-in-law? Then I'll make sure you never get what you want."

With a dark expression, Li Chen'ai grabs Wu Jiangluo by the neck and presses her against the sofa.

But Wu Jiangluo accidentally hits the tablet on the sofa before its screen has gone dark. A wholesome, government-friendly current affairs lecture begins playing between their breaths. "New quality productive forces are green productive forces. We must give priority to ecology and accelerate innovation in green technology..."

The mood ruined, Li Chen'ai asks disdainfully, "What do you even watch?"

Rubbing her reddened neck, Wu Jiangluo answers sarcastically, "Oh, big brother~ You're a business mogul, and you don't even know about new quality productive forces?~"

Li Chen'ai slams the door on his way out.

Wu Jiangluo escapes a close call. She hugs the tablet to her chest, overwhelmed with gratitude. Teacher, I'll never listen to pirated recordings again. I'm buying your course!

Later, Li Chen'ai notices that Wu Jiangluo has been behaving herself lately. She no longer runs off to make trouble for people. All she does for fun is open her tablet to watch a certain man's livestream at the same time every day, tipping, donating, liking, and commenting without missing a thing.

Li Chen'ai zooms in on the surveillance footage and glares at the man chattering away on the tablet.

*

Li Chen'ai and Wu Jiangluo have been getting along well lately. He thinks she's given up on escaping, but one day at the end of the year, she would rather climb over the wall than stay in the villa. Li Chen'ai's expression darkens as he floors the accelerator and follows her all the way, only to be stopped at the campus gate...

The security guard at the entrance grips an iron baton. "Hey, handsome. Show me your ID and exam admission ticket!"

[Coming soon 2: Dr. Xie Is Pretending to Be Innocent Again]

When they first meet, Xie Chang Sui holds a cigarette between his fingers and talks about his romantic history through clouds of smoke, playing the role of a fickle playboy to perfection.

It takes Shen Youyu only a moment to decide that the refined, strikingly handsome second son of the Xie family is a womanizer through and through.

They exchange a polite toast, and the blind date ends abruptly.

The following month, Shen Youyu is injured while on a business trip and taken to a local clinic. To her surprise, the doctor who saves her is none other than Xie Chang Sui, who should never have appeared in this backwater mountain town.

"Here to experience the simple life?" Shen Youyu teases.

The man drops his usual frivolous manner and walks over, smelling of medicinal herbs. His cool gaze sweeps over the beauty on the sickbed. As he sets the acupuncture needle into place, he reminds her quietly, "Miss Shen, now isn't the time to chat."

After spending several days together, Shen Youyu discovers that Xie Chang Sui leads an extremely restrained life. He's even indifferent to her advances, abstinent as a monk.

He's nothing like the Xie Chang Sui she remembers.

Whether out of gratitude for saving her life or because of his irresistible good looks, curiosity finally gets the better of Shen Youyu. One autumn night, she pins him against a tree.

She leisurely brushes the fallen osmanthus blossoms from his shoulder. Then, with a fingertip scented with osmanthus, she lifts his chin and murmurs into his ear, "Dr. Xie, why are you pretending to be innocent?"

*A beauty wields the brush, a renowned doctor sets the needle

*Glamorous, bold calligrapher x restrained, abstinent (yeah, don't believe it) renowned Chinese medicine doctor
