[The Book Transmigration heroine forced to act like a scheming green tea but who just wants to slack off vs. the male lead who thinks he's a substitute, gets jealous, and tries to seduce the heroine]

Su Yajin transmigrates into a book as a scheming green tea supporting character. She has to keep up her persona in front of the male and female leads, or she'll be erased.

After spending her previous life sucking up to people, Su Yajin just wants to be a lazy salted fish this time around: I choose to stay out of their sight.

So throughout her four years at university, Su Yajin stays completely away from the male and female leads, never coming within three kilometers of them.

From then on, life is wonderful!

She inherits a fortune worth billions, pursues the hobbies and career she had to give up in her previous life because of financial pressures, finds a close friend she can talk to about anything, and starts dating a man with captivating peach-blossom eyes, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.

Su Yajin thinks she can stay completely out of the plot and live happily ever after. But when her boyfriend, Yu Qingyun, takes her home to meet his family, she discovers that he's the original male lead's uncle.

Faced with the male lead, Yu Zibai, her new nephew-in-law, Su Yajin has no choice but to play the green tea role again.

Yu Zibai: Hello, Auntie.

Su Yajin: Zibai, it's been so long. Was your girlfriend upset because of me last time? She really loves you. I never meant to come between you two.

Yu Zibai: ???

Yu Qingyun: ???

Su Yajin thinks this is as bad as the male lead's groveling redemption arc can get. But it turns out she's too naive.

Then her stepmother, stepsister, stepbrother, and the heroine's devoted admirers all come looking for trouble, and a huge love-triangle showdown begins.

Su Yajin: If that's how it is, don't blame me for becoming Niohuru Yajin again.

Everyone in the industry says Yu Qingyun is calm and decisive, cares only about profit, and is cold-hearted. They don't know he reserves all his favoritism for one person.

The girl who captivated him at first sight.

His company and the businesses he invests in are named after the two of them. He planned their future together and took her home to meet his family, only to discover she liked someone else, and that person was his nephew.

He looks at his nephew's eyes, so much like his own charming, flirtatious ones, and remembers his girlfriend complimenting his eyes when they first met. He can't stop himself from snapping the chopsticks in his hand.

Yet his girlfriend doesn't notice his mood at all. Her eyes never leave Yu Zibai, her gaze so full of affection that he seems to be the third wheel.

And in front of Yu Zibai, she acts like a lovestruck young girl, while she never makes any special requests of him. She's too considerate.

So this is how different it is when someone loves you and when they don't?

Yu Qingyun: But don't they say the substitute can take the original's place? So why can't I?

Coming soon: The Male Lead's Ex-Wife Wants a Divorce Every Day [Book Transmigration]

[The Book Transmigration heroine who wants to be a single rich woman vs. the male lead with a System who wins her over himself]

Tang Suzi transmigrates into the book as a supporting character: the male lead's ex-wife.

The original character pesters the male lead and uses her family to force him into marriage. But after he is disabled in a car accident and falls into poverty, she looks down on him, bullies him, and eventually gets what she deserves: her family is ruined and she loses everything.

After transmigrating, Tang Suzi looks at her rich, beautiful identity and thinks about the original character's miserable ending. She decides to divorce early, make room for the heroine, and become a single rich woman surrounded by handsome young men.

Tang the heartless woman Suzi: We're not right for each other. Let's get divorced.

Sheng the male lead Zhihuai: How are we not right for each other?

Tang Suzi remembers the original character's divorce going smoothly. The question leaves her stumped. She thinks about what caused the original character to clash with the male lead: ...I look down on the poor.

Sheng Zhihuai: Then we're perfect for each other.

Tang Suzi looks at the proof of assets Sheng Zhihuai shows her, at the countless zeros and incomprehensible stock ownership documents, and begins to question her life.

What happened to him being poor and destitute?

After her plan to follow the original character's example fails, Tang Suzi teaches herself how to be a handful.

But no matter how much she acts out, Sheng Zhihuai just smiles and agrees. He doesn't merely buy her a few things, he gives her everything she wants and never refuses her.

Tang Suzi: ...

Tang Suzi can't keep it up.

Tang Suzi gives up and goes with the flow.

But then Tang Suzi learns the truth behind Sheng Zhihuai's marriage to the original character. It turns out the whole thing was an act, and Sheng Zhihuai had married her to use her.

Tang Suzi asks for a divorce again. To her surprise, Sheng Zhihuai says he loves her and begins pursuing her, showering her with flowers, bags, jewelry, and clothes, and taking her on dates, candlelit dinners, and fireworks shows...

Just as Tang Suzi is about to give in to the sweet talk and lavish gifts, she finds out the truth: Sheng Zhihuai wasn't using the original character. He was using her.

After Sheng Zhihuai gets into a car accident, he receives a System. Its function is simple: Every time his wife says she wants a divorce, he gains health points.

At first, Sheng Zhihuai is delighted whenever Tang Suzi says she wants a divorce.

The only problem is that he never has enough health points, so he has to keep coaxing this stupid, vicious woman he thought would be of no use to him anymore.

Later, whenever Tang Suzi says she wants a divorce, Sheng Zhihuai wishes he could sacrifice both his legs just to cover her mouth and beg her not to say it.

Coming soon: The Rich Family's Foil Couple Goes Viral by Acting Out

[The Book Transmigration heroine who is the rich family's foil vs. her mind-reading rich husband]

Jiang Weihe transmigrates into a book as the foil to the heroine.

The heroine is a rising star in the entertainment industry, a superb actress tipped to win Best Actress. After marrying into a wealthy family, she is doted on by her rich husband and in-laws.

Meanwhile, Jiang Weihe is an infamously controversial young actress who's in love with the eldest son of the Song family. She uses a past favor to force him into marrying her. Afterward, her mother-in-law despises her, her husband is cold toward her, and her jealousy of the heroine makes her act out until she's thrown out of the family with just ten million in compensation.

Jiang Weihe, after transmigrating into the book: Ten million? What a great deal.

So Jiang Weihe goes even further in her antics, hoping to get that ten million as soon as possible and spend the rest of her life lounging like a salted fish.

She has no idea that her husband, Song Muyan, can hear her thoughts.

Jiang Weihe and Song Muyan appear on a couples' variety show alongside the male and female leads.

The leads show off their loving relationship.

Song Muyan watches Jiang Weihe act out on the surface, supposedly out of jealousy, while inwardly she makes sarcastic comments.

"What is this, some over-the-top CEO romance scene?"

"This is so cheesy."

"Just reject me already. I can't stand this."

She even has all sorts of little scenes playing out in her head: Jiang Weihe looking disgusted as she gets splashed with grease, frantically waving her hands to refuse, and covering her eyes to shout, "I'm blind!"

Song Muyan watches with great interest and amusement. He seems never to have understood the wife he married unwillingly. Now even this boring variety show has become fun because of her.

Viewers who start watching the show: Isn't she way too much? If I were her husband, I'd be sick of her. I'd have divorced her ages ago.

To be honest, Jiang Weihe thinks so too.

But Song Muyan seems to love it. The more she acts out, the more he spoils her. Sometimes he even immediately does the things she only thinks about.

He cooks for her, massages her shoulders, and dries her hair, among other things.

With the cameras on her, Jiang Weihe can only play along.

Unexpectedly, the viewers get it: As expected, a woman who knows how to act cute has the best life!

After the show ends, her haters say, "She'll only ever be a variety-show celebrity. So what if President Song spoils her? She can't act, and throwing more resources at her won't help."

When Jiang Weihe takes a supporting role, the criticism grows even louder.

But then her performance as a deranged supporting character becomes a massive hit.

She even wins that year's Golden Phoenix Award for Best Supporting Actress, and ordinary fans start speaking up to defend her.

Haters: ???

Just as her haters run out of things to criticize, the media suddenly reports that Jiang Weihe has been rejected by her mother-in-law and kicked out of the wealthy family.

Her haters immediately gloat: See? How could someone like her ever be loved by a rich mother-in-law? She deserves it.

But the next day, someone posts a photo of Jiang Weihe and her mother-in-law happily vacationing on an island.

In the comments, an employee of Song Group reveals that the elder and younger President Song have both been in terrible moods these past few days without their wives around. Everyone at Song Group is walking on eggshells, afraid they'll take the brunt of it.

Netizens: I never knew you were like this, President Song.

Jiang Weihe keeps waiting for her ten million so she can start living the sweet, lazy life of a salted fish. Instead, she gets a hundred million and Song Muyan on one knee, proposing and asking to hold a proper wedding.
