Writing isn't easy, so please support the official version.] * Cheng Anning has never lost at a raffle. Of course, that's only true for small and medium-sized raffles. One day, she spots a free raffle held by a newly opened electronics store. Hee hee, she wins, just as expected. Except... it's a haunted secondhand computer. (Forced smile.jpg) Work files appear inexplicably on the desktop, the mouse pointer moves by itself, documents open automatically, and words materialize out of nowhere! She burns incense, sticks up talismans, and tries every soothing word she can think of, but the strange occurrences keep happening... Okay, if you can't beat it, join it! After a while, she and the "ghost" manage to communicate through the computer. Cheng Anning learns that the "ghost" in the computer is called Liang Yan. He's twenty-four, one year older than her, and, like her, from Qingcheng. Later, Cheng Anning discovers that she and this "computer ghost" aren't in the same timeline. The world he's in is five years in the past! Even more shocking, she accidentally discovers that this "computer ghost" is Liang Yan, once a famous young entrepreneur in Qingcheng! He's said to be exceptionally capable, handsome and refined, and so perfect in every way that he's practically otherworldly! But... After reading the news about this young CEO online, Cheng Anning falls silent. According to the internet, four years ago this business tycoon was in a serious car accident while on a business trip. He became comatose and has remained in the hospital ever since. Cheng Anning breaks the news gently: "You might not believe me, but five years from now... you seem to be kind of dead." Liang Yan: ?

Please add it to your library-------- Radiant, resilient heroine x a powerful man in public, a devoted husband at home [The leads are 1v1 physically and emotionally, both virgins, marriage before love] Is there anything more melodramatic than the groom running away on the wedding day? Yes. That would be having the groom's older brother take his place. As a wealthy heiress, Su Yanqing can't escape an arranged marriage. But the groom is marrying into her family, and her childhood friend Ji Jingchen has been by her side since they were little, so she's quite happy with the arrangement. They even agreed to wear traditional wedding clothes and play the game of lifting the bride's veil. Of course, she would be the one to lift it. When the groom is brought to the bridal chamber, she lifts the red veil amid the teasing of their friends and family, but her smile freezes when she sees the face underneath. The man's lips are red and teeth white. He's handsome and refined, with a face so striking that he'd look dazzling dressed as either a man or a woman. His long, upturned phoenix eyes are moist and alluring, but under her cold gaze, he looks helpless and flustered. Su Yanqing has seen his photo. Ji Linheng, Ji Jingchen's half-brother. He accidentally hurt his head in a fall as a child and seems a little off. He's always been kept at the Ji family's old residence, away from outsiders. In this awkward situation, the man looks innocent and timidly tugs at her sleeve. "I'll be more obedient than my younger brother." Su Yanqing is so furious that she blacks out, but unexpectedly dreams that she's the obsessive female supporting character in a CEO romance novel. On her wedding day, the male lead, who is supposed to be her groom, runs away at the last minute. After that, she begins taking revenge on him and the woman he loves. Her schemes include, but aren't limited to, framing, plotting against, and kidnapping them. Instead, she ends up helping the leads fall even more deeply in love, while she becomes a criminal and meets a miserable end. Her mother is devastated and her illness worsens until she dies. Her younger sisters become outcasts in the family and eventually have to leave and fend for themselves, only to trust the wrong people and lose both their money and everything else. Su Yanqing: ? Am I some kind of supernaturally unlucky jinx? To prevent the events in her dream from happening, Su Yanqing decides to avoid every possible plot point. In the original story, she wakes up on her wedding night and kicks the fake groom, Ji Linheng, out of the house. So she'll do the opposite. She'll not only keep him there, but also go ahead with their original plan and register their marriage, completely avoiding any entanglement with the original male lead and escaping the story's plot. - Later, Su Yanqing decides she really made the right choice marrying this man. Although her husband isn't the person she originally had in mind, her new husband cooks for her every day, takes care of her family, and works hard without complaint. He's a sweet and considerate little flower of a man. Until one day, at a grand banquet, she sees a business tycoon in the crowd, aloof and distant, with a cool gaze. He looks a little like her sweet, gentle husband... #A gender-swapped substitute marriage# #The hidden tycoon is the original male lead's older brother# Theme: Anything is possible
