Blurb:

Jiang Mian, an ace special agent in the apocalypse.

She is skilled with firearms, hand-to-hand combat, surveillance, and disguise. She can dismantle a bomb with her bare hands and pilot a fighter jet. She has never lost a mission since entering the field.

Until her final mission, when a teammate stabbed her in the back. By accident, she transmigrated into a male-oriented power fantasy novel as a cannon-fodder villainess who made trouble at every turn and met a miserable end.

-

After transmigrating, Jiang Mian discovers that her stepson is a top-tier star in the entertainment industry, her husband is away from home all year, and he gives her a million yuan in pocket money every month.

She lives all by herself in a secluded mansion on a mountaintop, a luxurious villa worth hundreds of millions. Looking at the walk-in closet packed with jewelry and designer clothes, she feels so wronged that... she laughs out loud.

Jiang Mian decisively chooses to lie flat. A cannon-fodder villainess? This is clearly a retirement plan.

Anyone who dares to ruin her retirement is going to have to fight her for it!

-

She has barely been lying flat for a few days when she finds a five-year-old girl in the bushes outside her door. The child grabs her leg and calls her Mom.

A paternity test reveals that the girl is actually the biological daughter of Jiang Mian and her husband, whom she has never even met?

Jiang Mian becomes a mother at a young age. Before she can even process it, the little girl looks terrified and cries, "Mom, help! Big Brother is in danger! Dad is in danger!"

-

In the CEO's office, a heavily made-up female assassin is about to sit on Song Yanzhi's lap and sever an artery when

With a bang, Jiang Mian kicks the door open with one hand holding the child. She flings a dinner knife, which sticks into the solid wood desk less than half a centimeter from the woman's fingers.

Jiang Mian gives her a sweet smile. "Stay away from my husband. Got it?"

Song Yanzhi: "...Does she love me that much?"

At the rehearsal for a major gala, the director frowns as soon as he sees Jiang Mian. "Mrs. Song, no matter what you offer me, I won't agree to let Song Yu go on early, "

The next second, Jiang Mian holds the child with one arm and grabs the director by the collar with the other, leaping into the air.

The enormous LCD screen overhead crashes down, landing exactly where the director had been standing.

So frightened he can barely speak, the director blurts, "Song Yu opens the show! He has to open the show!"

Song Yu: "...Does she love me that much?"

-

A cute daughter drops out of nowhere, bringing with her a superpower that counts down to people's deaths.

To protect her family and preserve her outrageously rich life as a pampered wife, Jiang Mian races around risking her life to save people.

Real-life action-movie car chases, high-altitude rescues, helping the police take down wanted criminals...

"Brave Citizen Jiang" becomes an online sensation, and netizens line up begging to be her dog.

Jiang Mian: "? Your world really takes things to another level."

All she wants is to be a retired idle fish. How did she end up being called back to work?

-

Jiang Mian grows more and more famous, her popularity nearly matching her top-tier star stepson, and her influence in society surpassing that of her billionaire husband.

She notices that the two men in her family are acting strangely, as if they're competing to show off in front of her.

Song Yu fumes, "If Song Yanzhi and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first? Think carefully before you answer, or I... I won't earn money for you anymore!"

Song Yanzhi hints, "Song Yu is about to come of age. To help him learn to take care of himself, why not have him move out and live on his own?"

Jiang Mian: "..."

Reader's Guide:

1. The stepson is not her biological child, but the daughter is. I'll leave the other spoilers for later~

2. The male lead is eight years older and is the type to fall for her on his own.

3. No unsolicited writing advice. You don't need to tell me if you drop the book. The author has already had her brain eaten, so let's just remember to enjoy the fun!

4. Banban is another name for a qilin.

------Upcoming book: "Marrying into the Marquis's Estate with My Best Friend to Gawk and Watch the Drama (Transmigration into a Book)"

Blurb:

Fragile college student Shen Lingyue dies after gaming all night and transmigrates into the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites in the Great Ye dynasty. She is about to marry the second son of the Marquis of Changning.

When she arrives, her whole family is furious about the arranged marriage.

The reason is simple: The eldest legitimate son of the marquis is marrying the original owner's sworn enemy, Zhou Yanyi, the eldest daughter of a mighty general.

The two girls supposedly have never gotten along and have been competing openly and behind each other's backs for more than a decade. Now they are actually going to marry into the same marquis's household and become sisters-in-law?

Shen's mother wails, "My daughter has been delicate since she was little. How can she possibly beat that wild girl from a military family? And now she has to call her Big Sister-in-law and watch her become the heir's wife?"

Shen Lingyue rubs her hands together eagerly. "Mother, don't worry. Your daughter has plenty of skills and tricks!"

She has read hundreds of palace-intrigue and household-intrigue novels. Surely she can outmaneuver one actual ancient person?

The next day, Zhou Yanyi visits in person. Shen Lingyue assumes she's there to pick a fight, but their eyes meet.

Oh! Isn't this her brilliant best friend Yanyi, whom she's known since childhood?

How did you transmigrate here too???

*

Shen Lingyue and Zhou Yanyi whisper to each other beneath the bed curtains.

"What should we do? Should we run away from the weddings?"

"Let's wait and see. What if the Pei brothers are handsome? One for you and one for me. Nobody loses ^_^"

*

The Marquis of Changning's family is prominent, and by imperial decree, the two brothers are to marry on the same day, bringing double joy to the household.

The next day, when the new brides go to pay their respects over tea, the two finally find a chance to meet.

"How was last night?"

"I-it was okay, I guess."

"Then mine was okay too."

"Should we give it another try?"

"...Sure."

*

After an argument with Pei the Second, Shen Lingyue grabs a pillow and goes to the main household, crying as she goes.

"Big Sister-in-law, I'm sleeping with you tonight."

Zhou Yanyi silently glances at her husband. "How about you sleep in the study tonight?"

The heir of the marquis leaves for the next room with a dark expression. "Could you please give my wife back?"

*

Zhou Yanyi hears that the heir has a white moonlight he treasures above all else. Usually gentle, she loses her temper. "Pei Jingyi, I want a divorce!"

Shen Lingyue immediately joins in. "If you leave, I'll leave too. You divorce today, and I'll divorce tomorrow."

Pei Jinghuai, who had been enjoying the drama in the main household, is dumbfounded. How can a divorce come with a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

He angrily goes to find his older brother. "Go placate your wife right now, or I'll be left a bachelor too!"

*

The people of the capital expect to enjoy the drama at the Marquis of Changning's estate. They wait for the two sisters-in-law to turn the household upside down and make the already hostile Pei brothers' relationship even worse.

But they wait and wait, and the two young ladies only grow closer, while their bellies swell one after another. Pei Jingyi successfully inherits the title, and Pei Jinghuai earns a marquisate through his military achievements. The Marquis of Changning's family now boasts two outstanding men and becomes the capital's foremost noble house.

Reader's Guide:

Shen Lingyue is the main viewpoint character. A fragile, cheerful, idle-fish type X a sunny, cheerful man with strong martial skills and abs that are wonderful to touch.

Zhou Yanyi is the second female lead. A cool, intelligent academic X a meticulous, possessive, tight-lipped jealous man.

A slice-of-life story focused on gawk-and-watch-the-drama fun, packed with melodrama and a dash of childish, bickering lovers-to-lovers romance after marriage.

Theme: Having more skills never hurts.
