A hundred years ago, Lu Fei was the son of a wealthy merchant, a progressive young man who raised the banner of freedom and democracy high and strove for the rise of China.
A hundred years later, Lu Fei was a pampered wife married into a powerful family as a substitute bride. Nobody loved him, the entire internet hated him, and his husband had someone else in his heart, a beloved from the past. He only came home once every six months or so.
Lu Fei: A substitute bride? A pampered wife? Wasn't he a man? Since when could men get married like this?
The old-fashioned fellow was utterly shocked.
When the original owner's awful family came looking for him, they told Lu Fei to steal some documents from his husband's study.
Lu Fei frowned. "All we need to stand firm in this world are eight words: act honorably and have a clear conscience. Besides, do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you. If you want to steal something, why don't you steal it yourself?"
Awful family: "???"
Lu Fei's agent told him to take part in a variety show, threatening to make him pay a penalty if he refused.
Lu Fei asked, "Being in the public eye isn't my strong suit, and showing off my talents would be even more difficult. Could I go onstage with my face covered? Also, I only know half of the opera Liang Hongyu. Would that count as a talent these days?"
Agent: "???"
Zhou Jijin, a powerful man from a wealthy family who had suffered from insomnia for years, fell asleep under hypnosis before Lu Fei had even finished the third line of his song. When he awoke, he felt amazed. It turned out this pretty ornament wasn't entirely useless.
After thinking it over for a moment, he decided to go home and give his pretty wife a better marriage contract. In other words, he would raise his salary.
But as soon as he entered the house, Lu Fei, who had hurried back after hearing the news, asked him to sit down.
Then, with a stern expression, he asked, "According to our agreement, if I leave with nothing, we can get divorced, right?"
Looking at Lu Fei's expression, Zhou Jijin understood. It was another new ploy.
He gave a cold laugh. "Of course. If you really want a divorce, I'm ready whenever you are."
The next day, Lu Fei dragged Zhou Jijin to the civil affairs bureau.
Zhou Jijin: "???"
He couldn't believe Lu Fei would leave so decisively. He stalked Lu Fei's latest news online every day, and the domineering CEO was well on his way to becoming a stalker.
Half a year later, someone revealed that Lu Fei and Zhou Jijin had secretly married.
Assistant: "President Zhou, people have been saying Madam is using your fame for three days now."
Zhou Jijin: "Has he admitted he was wrong?"
Assistant: "No. He announced he's going on a dating variety show with another celebrity."
Zhou Jijin: "!!!"
A dream that lasted a lifetime. Waking to a world at peace, prosperous and flourishing, with war ended and peace restored, all the exhaustion of the past soothed in this moment. How fortunate, how truly fortunate, to spend the rest of one's life moving slowly through such beautiful scenery.

Title: All for the Sake of Not Getting Our Entire Family Executed
Blurb:
Meng Xizhao transmigrated into an unfamiliar dynasty and became the son of a first-rank official.
Before he could even rejoice over the unexpected wealth and status, he suddenly discovered that
his father, a first-rank official, was a notorious villain known throughout the land;
his mother, the daughter of a duke, was a shrew known to everyone;
his good-for-nothing elder brother had cheated his way into the civil service exams, and his life's ambition was to become the most corrupt official of the dynasty;
his beloved younger sister was determined to marry the dissolute Fifth Prince and even urged their entire family to help him seize the throne;
and he himself was a useless playboy whom everyone despised.
Their family had been racking up points for courting death for a long time. By next year, they would be ready to enjoy the full treatment: execution of the entire family, confiscation of their property, and extermination of their entire clan.
Meng Xizhao wiped his face and thought bravely: I can still save this situation.
*
To keep his family from being executed, Meng Xizhao dumped the useless Fifth Prince and latched onto the emperor instead.
The emperor loved music, so Meng Xizhao trained a troupe of singers overnight and sent them into the palace.
The emperor loved beautiful women, so he searched everywhere for peerless beauties with ambition and offered them free lessons in palace intrigue.
The emperor became so enamored of his pleasures that he cuddled with a beauty and listened to music instead of attending court. Meng Xizhao brought the crown prince, whom everyone had forgotten, to the Golden Throne Hall and publicly declared his support for him.
In the eyes of the court officials, Meng Xizhao was a favorite, a sycophant, a truly, truly treacherous official.
In the eyes of the common people, Meng Xizhao was a capable official, an honest official, a truly, truly good official.
In the crown prince's eyes, Meng Xizhao was a benefactor, a friend, and a beauty he could never have.
Watching Meng Xizhao climb higher and higher, the crown prince simply wondered whether he would be willing to climb a little higher still, and join him in ruling the realm.
*
Meng Xizhao: I'm following the script of a treacherous official, not a guide to winning the empress! Stay away from me!
*A sharp-tongued, flattering expert of a treacherous uke who joins the winning side when he can't beat them, and a scheming, deeply calculating seme who is talented in both civil and military affairs, with just a touch of a lovesick streak.
Theme: Hard work brings peace, and perseverance makes dreams come true.
Pre-released article: "Everything to Prevent the Family from Being Exterminated" is an ancient drama about the court, formerly known as the script "Protect Our Traitors", please collect it~
Another full-text archived manuscript: "Pear-flavored Summer", a pure love-style urban romance, with a total of 100,000 words. I will post it after I finish it. Please also save it~
If there really is reincarnation, I really hope that those revolutionary ancestors can live again and live in modern times [crying] [crying]
If people of that era were reincarnated to this day, they would all be very happy. It's great. The prosperous China is as you wish.
It's over like this [holding chin], feeling empty in my heart. Only Lu Fei remembers his past life, which is a bit unexpected. I hope Mr. Zhou can also remember his past life, but as Dada said, they deserve a flawless life. I wish them happiness in the new era! Finished spreading flowers!
Jin and Tao didn't think about it, which was fine.
It's all over, there's no need to add two more wandering souls.
I have a headache from crying now, their story can be made into a movie [burst crying]
I feel that the plot could be expanded and fleshed out a bit, but there is an abrupt feeling at the end of the story that is rushing to the end of the story, especially the emotional changes between attack and reception are a bit stiff. I thought that based on the setting of the copywriting, this article would have more than a hundred chapters. The setting is quite good, but the plot is too simple.
You were gone when I fell asleep in the previous life. In this life, I can't hear your voice and I can't sleep. Originally I just wanted to read a short story and fall asleep, but I ended up taking out a piece of paper to wipe my tears while reading it [ bursting into tears ]
Although it's a bit fast, it's not too abrupt. What I thought was a sweet comedy suddenly seems a bit heavy, but it's still very satisfying!
I finished reading... A very short novel. But the writing is very good, the first half is humorous and interesting, but the second half, especially the past life part, is too heavy...
