Low-Temperature Burn

A wealthy, irresistible social butterfly with endless lovers vs. a cold, impossibly strong, emotionally clueless woman There is a top-tier private dining club in Yeyu City that is nearly impossible to book. Half the guests come for its signature dishes, and the other half come to see the owner. The owner, Yun Jiushu, has a pair of captivating eyes. Her Sichuan-embroidered qipao accentuates her slender, fragrant waist, and her seductive beauty seems entirely out of place in this ancient city. With her looks and her wealth, Boss Jiu has never been short of lovers, but she has never given anyone her heart. That is, until she met the newcomer. She was a math teacher, carrying a frost and snow never before seen in Yeyu City. She appeared before Yun Jiushu like a clear, cold blade. The social butterfly gave up her wild ways, sent her lovers packing, and humbled herself to pursue the woman with all the sincerity she could muster. But just as their relationship was one step away from becoming official, the woman vanished without a trace. Defeated, the social butterfly looked at the mess the woman had left behind and sneered. “You're the first person who's dared to treat me, Yun Jiushu, like a dog.” Time passed. The following spring, a new branch of the private dining club opened in Spring City, and Yun Jiushu went to attend the opening. The tavern was dimly lit, but the drummer's silhouette onstage grew ever clearer. After the performance, Yun Jiushu cornered her backstage and demanded furiously, “It was you, wasn't it? You dared to toy with me.” “Sorry,” the small-town “drummer,” now disguised and mute, signed. “I don't know you.” Yun Jiushu didn't believe her, and tried every trick in the book to expose her disguise. But even when she pinned her in a corner, clothes slipping and breaths scattering, desire drowning those foxlike eyes, the woman being kissed never made a sound. Instead, Yun Jiushu couldn't control her own gasping, murmuring over and over, “Liar. Mute...” As her heart wavered and her feelings surged once more, their intimacy spiraling out of control, the same abrupt disappearance happened again. But this time, one thing had changed. Yun Jiushu had been treated like a dog for the second time. … Two years ago, a secret arrest warrant was issued. Fresh graduate Yi Chengsong had her real name erased and was sent undercover to Yuncheng to investigate an unsolved case. The suspect was an old fox, and the mission proved far more difficult than expected. When Yi Chengsong received a tip from her informant for the third time and appeared at a banquet as a business partner, she saw the target's face. She knew then that this mission was doomed to fail. She never thought she would be so easy to fool. She never thought that woman would be so vindictive, either. “Having fun?” The only exit from the lounge clicked shut, and the brazen, flamboyant woman advanced step by step. With nowhere left to run, Yi Chengsong fell onto the sofa. The woman's glossy red-soled heels hooked the chain around her neck, grinding a round mark into her collarbone. The crisp scent of pine enveloped her like a cage. Yun Jiushu's eyes were cold as she mocked her with a faint smile. “Run away again and see what happens.” Coming soon: My Mortal Enemy Became My Wife After I Transmigrated into a Period Novel Cheng Yili had been staying up late and getting up early, grinding away for half a month. Just as she finished her thesis and hit the plagiarism-check button, her vision went black and she dropped dead. When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in a wheat field. A System appeared in her mind and informed her that she had transmigrated into a book. Not only had she transmigrated into a book, she had also gone back to the 1980s. Their family had two shabby tile-roofed rooms, her two younger sisters were pitifully thin from hunger, and she was the only able-bodied worker in the household. The worst part was that when the door of the dilapidated little house opened, her wife appeared with a face identical to her mortal enemy, Fu Peici's, biting her lip and calling her “Wifey” in a delicate voice. The System informed her: “Sorry, Host. I have one piece of bad news and one piece of good news. “One: Due to a System error, you were bound by mistake. “Two: As compensation, you will receive a golden finger. Your wife will become a wealthy businesswoman in the future. All you have to do is keep her happy, and you'll enjoy the good life.” Cheng Yili: ...? Aren't those both bad news? Also, don't you do background checks before dragging people into books? My mortal enemy is straight!!! … … The shameless System vanished as soon as it assigned the task, leaving behind a crying, hungry little sister, a half-collapsed house, a fragile wife, and a helpless Cheng Yili. Just thinking about how her mortal enemy Fu Peici would become a wealthy businesswoman while she could only get ahead by relying on her wife made Cheng Yili furious. Whoever wants this lousy task can do it! In a fit of anger, Cheng Yili immediately packed her things and decided to run away to the city. But she had only taken a few steps when she fell into a pit with a thump. Fu Peici pulled her out. The second time she tried to escape, a flash flood trapped her in a cave, and Fu Peici dug through the blockage to save her. The third time was even more ridiculous. The moment she thought about running away, Fu Peici grabbed her by the hem, and a bolt of lightning struck right in front of them. Cheng Yili: I will behave. Having survived the ordeal, Cheng Yili suddenly realized something and looked at the tearful Fu Peici behind her. She tried moving a little closer. [Ding! System reward: All pain and injuries healed.] Cheng Yili: ? She tried holding her hand. [Ding! The college entrance exam policy has been reinstated. Host, we recommend making use of your strengths.] Then what if she tried a kiss... [Ding! Your first round of start-up capital has been issued.] So that's how you use a golden finger! Cheng Yili: The old saying was right. Love your wife, and you'll prosper! … … One morning, Fu Peici opened her eyes and found herself in a completely new world. She was in a cheap rented apartment, her left arm numb from being pinned down. Looking down, Fu Peici saw that Cheng Yili, her mortal enemy who had just boasted yesterday that she'd finish first and slap her in the face with the paper, was now asleep in her arms. Feeling her move, Cheng Yili instinctively tightened her embrace and murmured, half asleep, “Wifey...” Tags: 1. Enemies become wives Theme: Stay positive and work hard to build a good life
