Fang Zhiyi woke up to find she'd transmigrated into a book, becoming the sickly, beautiful younger sister doted on by the male side character's entire family in a period novel.

In the book, her parents were university professors, and both her older brothers served in the military. But after her parents were implicated in trouble, they had to send her to her brothers' army post for refuge so she wouldn't have to go to the countryside and suffer.

The original owner was sensitive and believed rumors that she was a burden to her brothers. She thought that having to care for her meant they had reached marriageable age without finding wives.

To avoid burdening them, the original owner secretly ate only one bite at every meal. Her health deteriorated until she couldn't survive in the bitter cold of the Northwest, and she died.

Her brothers were overcome with guilt. When they saw that she had saved all the money and ration coupons they had given her, one gave up a promising future and wasted his life away. The other died in a car accident from excessive worry while taking her home.

When their parents heard that she had died, they both took their own lives in the winter just before dawn was about to break.

Fang Zhiyi had transmigrated with a pocket dimension full of all kinds of ingredients worth tens of millions.

She had struggled to survive in an apocalypse with no food or drink, so why shouldn't she eat now? She wouldn't just eat for herself. She'd make all kinds of delicious dishes for her brothers every day, and send tasty food to her parents, too.

Her whole family would survive, and live well as they welcomed a new life.

Everyone knew that Military Advisor Fang had a sickly younger sister. It had been manageable when their parents still worked at the university, but now that they had both been sent away to the countryside, wasn't the poor girl just a burden?

While everyone lamented that the Fang brothers might never find partners with a sickly sister to support, the scent of food began drifting out of the Fang family courtyard. Today it was twice-cooked pork, tomorrow mapo tofu, and the day after, red-braised pork...

The daughter of the old commander at the army post was always running over to the Fang family's courtyard.

The Fang brothers praised their sister to everyone they met, but no one took them seriously. What good was a sickly girl, no matter how wonderful she was? Who would dare marry her?

Then the sickly girl joined a research institute and became its hotshot research prodigy.

The most capable young first-class pilot from the neighboring air force division even showed up at the Fang family home with gifts. He walked right in as if it were his own house and called out, "Brother-in-law..."

The Fang brothers: ???? When did a wolf carry off their little sister?

Upcoming story: The Great Beauty of Xiangjiang Is Reborn. Please add it to your favorites!

In the late 1980s, when Jiang Wanning was twenty, she was brought from the mainland to the prosperous city of Xiangjiang. Only then did she learn that she was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Jiang family, who had been lost to them for years.

Soon after returning home, she had a dream. In it, the man she was about to marry transformed after their wedding from a gentle, proper gentleman into a playboy, with women constantly at his side. He even brought home a child born to his mistress.

Only then did Jiang Wanning realize that her husband had been telling people that she was nothing but a pretty face, cold as ice every day. He said he would never have married such a dull woman if he hadn't needed to compete with his uncle for the position of head of the Lu family.

When Jiang Wanning woke from the dream, she laughed in anger and immediately decided to break off the engagement. She was beautiful and wealthy, so she wasn't about to let herself be taken for a fool.

But on the day she went to end the engagement, another man from the Lu family arrived at the Jiang home with a marriage contract.

Lu Zhiting was Lu Ze's biological uncle. Still young, he had already attained an enviable position. He had nearly the entire Lu family under his control, along with half of Xiangjiang's jewelry and shipping industries.

Rumor had it that he was ruthless, cunning, and cold-hearted, with iron control over his desires. In the glittering, decadent city of Xiangjiang, he had never been linked to a single scandal.

The sharp-tongued media had even predicted that he must not be interested in women.

Yet he appeared at the Jiang home with a lawyer, offering half his business empire as a betrothal gift, all to marry into the Jiang family.

Jiang Wanning looked at the man. His suit was perfectly tailored, his build tall and straight, his features refined and elegant, and his expression calm and restrained. The gold-rimmed glasses perched on his high nose lent him an aura of quiet composure and imposing authority.

Yet what came out of this man's mouth was, "Miss Jiang, Lu Ze isn't good enough for you."

From her dream, Jiang Wanning knew that Lu Zhiting was a complete workaholic, ruthless in business, but not a smoker or drinker, and with a spotless private life.

She figured he wanted to marry her to strengthen his position in the Lu family. Since he was so busy that he rarely went home even when he was single, and he was only marrying out of necessity, he would be even less likely to come home after they wed. She'd be free to enjoy herself, so she agreed to marry him without much thought.

She never expected that the man she thought would never come home would keep her up night after night.

Eventually, Jiang Wanning couldn't take it anymore. Holding her aching back, she complained, "Lu Zhiting, when are you finally leaving?"

To her surprise, a flash of hurt crossed the man's composed face. "I must have failed to satisfy my wife. I'll try harder from now on. Please don't abandon me after you've had your fun."

Jiang Wanning: ...
