Xia Juhua died feeling utterly wronged.
After her husband passed away, she built houses for her two sons, helped them marry, took care of her grandchildren, and tirelessly worked around the house. Yet, she became known as a "dreadful mother-in-law." Her daughters-in-law ignored her efforts, her sons criticized her, and the grandson she raised with her own hands pushed her out the door.
Drinking medicine to end her misery, Xia Juhua noticed the sweetness of the liquid and thought the heavens were giving her a final taste of kindness. Instead, she woke up back in the days when her second son had just married—when her reputation as a “dreadful mother-in-law” had first started.
Now, if people are going to call her a dreadful mother-in-law, why not live up to the name properly?
Want me to work hard in the fields? No way. Since they say I only worked for praise, I’ll skip the labor and enjoy cracking melon seeds while lying in bed.
Want me to cook meals? Nope. Since they say I cooked only to sneak food, I’ll let others serve me at the table instead.
Want me to babysit? Forget it. Since they claim I took care of the kids to distance them from their moms, I’ll enjoy gossiping with the neighbors instead.
Her daughters-in-law’s public words:
"My mother-in-law is hardworking and rich; she’s the best mother-in-law ever."
Their true thoughts:
"She’s rich but won’t spend a dime on her sons."
Xia Juhua: So what if I’m a rural old lady? Who says rural women can’t be knowledgeable and prosperous? With money in hand, who cares about petty gossip?

A delicate doctor joins the military base—beautiful, sweet-voiced, and endlessly gentle… until her needlework reveals her as utterly ruthless.
Meanwhile, the base’s infamous demon instructor is cold-faced, hot-tempered, and unapproachable, despite his extraordinary abilities.
Thanks to a childhood joke by their elders, the two find themselves tied by a marriage pact.
Determined to fix her past regrets, Bai Susu throws every trick in the book to woo the stoic drill instructor. But no matter how she schemes, she can’t break through his calm restraint.
After three fruitless months, Bai Susu silently prepares to leave, only to be yanked into the man’s arms as soon as he hears the news.
“Didn’t you always want me to kiss you?” Gu Beixiao’s trembling hands grip the woman tightly as she struggles to escape.
“All I want is a proper, legal kiss!”
Ye Er first saw that female zerg in an advertis**ent. He was cheap, and significantly damaged, with only a pair of golden eyes that remained beautiful.
Later, when he saw him again, it was in the female s*ave exchange live broadcast, where he was trampled, his spine crushed, shamelessly humiliated, his eyes silently enduring the pain and embarrassment. Yet, he shed not even a single teardrop.
Later on, Ye Er picked up that dying female zerg back home.
Nursing the female zerg back to health was like repairing an old, rusty machine. He was severely mutilated, had lost his bone wings, was blinded in one eye, and had his legs broken, unable to walk.
Broken and tattered, completely lacking in value, silent yet sharp.
Ye Er cared for him like a stray dog he had picked up, changing bandages, feeding, caressing his head to appease, turning on the lights at night to drive away spasms and nightmares… striving to be a qualified keeper.
However, after continuous nursing, the female zerg who unknowingly grew powerful and returned to the peak of power, surrounded him with his newly grown bone wings, gently and cautiously with matchless devotion.
Five years after the war ended, the empire and the military welcomed back their “sacrificed” general, leading to a strong reshuffle, resulting in the dismissal of numerous noble military officers.
On the surface, the scene was of foul wind and blood rain, with fear and trepidation.
While the media was subtly pointing fingers at the arrogant and cold-blooded tyrant, the tyrant was wearing a soft pink warm apron, skillfully baking matcha cookies with a gentle expression as he called Ye Er to wash his hands before eating.
No one could have imagined that during the day, the general, who was violent and unparalleled, skillfully tearing mechas apart on the military training ground—
Would obediently open up his heart completely with his own hands, trembling all over, his eyes red and moist from being bullied, hoarsely voicing his forbearing affection.
“Only you can do anything to me.”

Everyone thought Pu Xiang had married well, but her husband turned out to be a lazy man, obsessed with cheating and gambling all his life. She worked herself to the bone, only to be despised her entire life.
She had countless thoughts of divorce but always held back for the sake of her children. Watching how the stepmother next door mistreated her stepdaughter, Pu Xiang couldn’t bear to let her children suffer the same fate. However, in the end, she realized she had only raised an ungrateful, selfish child.
When she fell and broke her leg, unable to care for her grandchildren or do housework, her ungrateful son berated her as a useless old hag, a burden with no value, who should have died sooner.
Given the chance to start over, Pu Xiang swore she would never hesitate again. She would leave her toxic marriage and ungrateful family behind.
In the next moment, Pu Xiang was reborn to the year she was 25. Her son, at five years old, was already throwing a tantrum and rolling on the floor simply because she had eaten a piece of chicken.
Realizing that her ungrateful son’s nature wasn’t a sudden development but had been evident since childhood, she made up her mind.
“Let’s divorce. I don’t want the child.”
This time, she’s done! With her ability to earn money, she’s determined to live a better life without being weighed down by her selfish husband and child.
Despite her parents’ and relatives’ disapproval and the gossiping neighbors in the countryside, Pu Xiang thrived. She earned money, started a business, bought a house, bought a car, and transformed from a divorced woman everyone pitied into a successful and enviable businesswoman.
When her ex-husband came crawling back and her son finally realized “only mom is good in the world,” Pu Xiang simply laughed.
“Sorry, I don’t know you.”

The Jiang elders were shocked: “No need to aim that high.”
But Jiang Jingcheng was determined to marry into the Song family and pursued Song Huaijing relentlessly.

After Han Li’s unexpected death, he found himself reincarnated in the Douluo Continent upon regaining consciousness. Due to his transmigration, unknown high-dimensional information surged in, causing the plane’s consciousness to awaken prematurely and bind with him. He realized that he seemed to have become the father of the newly awakened plane consciousness.
Bearing a name that sounds the same as a certain celestial being and holding a pair of twin-form martial spirits—a dual scimitar blade and bow—Han Li stood silently, with the gradually awakening plane consciousness behind him.
Should he become a celestial being who commits mu*der and arson, or a companion of justice?
As for becoming Huo Yuhao? Ha, don’t make me laugh. He was born with stiff knees and could never kneel.
What? Guang Ling Douluo himself has come?
Han Li, who had wandered for half his life without encountering a wise master, said, “If you do not mind, I am willing to acknowledge you as my… ptooey, master.”
“Master, please accept a bow from your disciple.”
…
Many years later, facing an approaching enemy, Han Li floated in mid-air and looked at the intruder: “You can try if you wish, but even if I bear the weight of the entire Douluo Star and have to hold up Wuhun City with one hand, I, Han Li, will still be invincible in this world!”
【Noble Daughter vs. Transmigrated Woman + Rebirth + Leisurely Life as a Mistress in an Aristocratic Household】
Lu Lingyun and her legitimate sister, Lu Hanyi, are both reborn.
In their previous lives, Lu Lingyun married the second son of a sixth-rank official, while her legitimate sister married the heir of a marquis. Everyone said the legitimate sister had a better marriage.
Yet, fate unfolded differently:
Lu Lingyun’s husband became the Prime Minister and even secured her a first-rank honorary title.
Meanwhile, her sister couldn’t outmaneuver her husband’s favored concubine, forcing the couple to elope and live as widowed companions for the rest of their lives.
Lu Lingyun enjoyed a life of glory and prestige. But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the age of sixteen, just as her marriage prospects were being discussed.
Her legitimate sister eagerly snatched her “potential stock” husband, leaving Lu Lingyun to marry the heir of a marquis instead.
Lu Lingyun only smiled faintly:
“Go ahead, take him. Soon, you’ll realize that Li Wenxun becoming Prime Minister and earning you a title was all thanks to my meticulous planning and efforts. Without me, the most he can achieve is a measly sixth-rank position. And as for the prestigious titles you covet? Absolutely impossible.”
With her engagement gone, Lu Lingyun decided to aim higher in this life. She’d live as the mistress of the marquis’ household—a position even more illustrious and influential.
【This is the story of an ancient-era marquis household CEO.】
