Upon waking up, Jiang Suihan realized that her life was just as terrible as ever, and she began thinking about how to escape from this miserable existence. Then, an opportunity presented itself.
After much consideration, Jiang Suihan decided that Xu Zhao, the older brother, was tough, quiet, handsome, and dependable. She resolved to pack herself and her younger brother up and follow him to join the military.
News spread through the military family compound: it was rumored that Captain Xu had brought back a delicate and frail-looking young wife.
The military wives gossiped in private—some were curious, some made sarcastic remarks, and some thought it was a pity. They shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this tender-skinned city girl wouldn’t be able to endure life in the mountains and would likely be crying to go back home within a month. But as they waited and waited…
Later, after witnessing Xu Zhao’s various ways of doting on his wife, they couldn’t help but look at their own husbands with increasing dissatisfaction.
After entering a male orientated cultivation novel, Ning Ning originally planned to carefully follow the planned storyline, but only to discover that there was something not quite right about this world.
Within the sect, her senior brother relies on everyone around him for his cultivation progress, her senior sister sells information of their sect elders and her peers for money, while her master was so dirt poor that it makes one’s hairs stand on their end, and drinks water gathered from 82 years ago every single day.
Outside of her sect, those buddist practitioners cultivated arduously, chanting scriptures akin to singing rap, their lips moving so quickly that sparks would fly; those sword practitioners treated their swords like their beloved wives, yet struggling to become courtesans to support their families, with their love stories deeply touching the hearts of many; those music practitioners treat temple bells as weapons, and excels in flinging their bells to strike people down.
Ning Ning : “…”
There’s no use saving this world. Just let it get destroyed. Sooner or later, this cultivation world will come to an end.

Ning Ning had crossed over into a cultivation novel world with the identity of an evil junior sister.
If she wanted to live, she needed to follow the story line and continue to court death with her actions.
Target number 1: The noble and benevolent eldest senior brother
Senior brother possessed Innate Sword Bones, and unsurpassed cultivation. Ning Ning requested for a late night private meeting, only for the former to smile faintly and nod his head: “Do you want to learn…something that doesn’t suit your age?”
Therefore, as the night progressed, the eldest senior brother brought out an entire set of extremely difficult secret sword arts, with Ning Ning being forced to train arduously throughout the entire night, leaving her completely exhausted, with her heart being as dead as ashes.
Target number 2: The quiet, sick and handsome elder
The elder’s cultivation was destroyed during the great war, and retreated into the mountains to recuperate alone.
Taking advantage of his playing the zither, Ning Ning originally wished to head up and cause trouble. However, after bumping into and inhaling a poisonous fragrance from a flower, she was paralyzed, having to endure excruciating pain, causing waves of tears to stream down her face.
Seeing her tearful gaze, the elder merely assumed that he had finally met someone with good music taste and she had started to cry because she had become too happy hearing his zither. He got happy to the point where he almost wanted to pull everyone together to sing the song “Good Luck’s coming”.
Target number 3: Arrogant and antisocial junior brother
According to the original storyline, the junior brother, main male character, was born in poverty, had an impure bloodline, was discriminated against within the sect, and got bullied to the point of being completely riddled with wounds.
Ning Ning knocked away the immortal spring water that he was using to treat his injuries. In the end, the immortal spring water had long been swapped by other people with an extremely corrosive poison, which splashed all over her legs.
The youth squatted down, and gently rubbed away the bloodstains on the girl’s calf: “Why did you help me?”
As if the story wasn’t any weirder enough, it took a weirder turn.
The ever so malicious youth buried his head in her neck, his voice racked with sobs, in which it hid an intense servitude and thirst.
“Don’t leave me behind.”
Chu Qiao was known as Agent 005 within the Secret Service’s 11th Division in her former life. She was locked up in the Secret Service’s prison as she was framed. After she successfully broke out from prison, she sacrificed her life bravely to preserve the Secret Service by defusing a bomb meant to wipe them out.
After her demise, she was magically transported back in time to the Xia Dynasty to start a new life, where she assumed the identity of an 8-year-old female servant. In order to help Yan Xun, the Prince of Yan Bei, escape, she lived in the imperial palace for eight years along with him. In the process, they helped each other to become stronger such that they could rebel against the Xia Empire and return to the territory of Yan Bei.
The first half of the novel depicts vividly how the two characters go through thick and thin, hand in hand – Chu Qiao helping Yan Xun to achieve his dreams and Yan Xun’s love towards Chu Qiao. However, the two of them start to drift apart due to their conflicting personalities – Chu Qiao having a kind hearted nature and Yan Xun having the airs of a prince: arrogant and boisterous.
Lin Yuxin transmigrated into a book and became the real daughter of the Shangshu family, who had been swapped at birth.
In the original plot, she was framed by the fake daughter, trusted the wrong people, and ultimately led her entire family to ruin.
Now that Lin Yuxin had arrived, she was determined to change her family’s tragic fate and lay the foundation for a better life.
So, she first went to find her mother to reveal the truth:
“Mother, the fake daughter you’ve raised for years is actually Father’s illegitimate child!”
As a result, her mother immediately divorced her scumbag husband, leaving him penniless!
Then, she went to warn her eldest brother: “Oh, my poor brother! You were set up by that scumbag father and the woman you loved. In order to save her, you ended up losing both your legs and lived a lonely, miserable life!”
Upon hearing this, her brother immediately entered the palace to request an imperial decree to lead a crusade against the bandits…
Jiang Jingchun, who was the cherished daughter of a minister’s household, grew up as a true pampered young miss. She could have whatever she desired, except for one thing: her cousin, Gu Huaisheng, the young marquis from the marquis’ residence.
Gu Huaisheng, who was the son of a marquis’ household, was like snow on the eaves or the moon outside the window—elegant, untouchable, and the most outstanding young man in his family. He was far beyond anyone’s reach.
Jiang Jingchun tried everything to win his favour. She learned the type of person he seemed to admired and transformed herself from an outspoken and willful young lady into someone obedient and meek in his presence.
Yet no matter how hard she tried, Gu Huaisheng would barely spare her a glance.
The frustrated and desperate Jiang Jingchun followed a terrible idea from her closest friend. One day, while he wasn’t paying attention, she leaned in to kiss his cheek. But just as she moved closer, Gu Huaisheng turned his head, and their lips accidentally met…
The soft touch of their lips startled her, but before Jiang Jingchun could even blush, Gu Huaisheng shoved her away harshly. With a cold and angry glare, he spat, “Shameless,” and strode away without a backward glance.
That one push left Jiang Jingchun completely stunned and shattered her girlish infatuation into pieces.
*
Misfortunes never come singly. At the same time, news arrived at the minister’s household: the true daughter of their family had been found.
Jiang Jingchun had lived as the family’s treasured daughter for over a decade. Only then did she learn that she was, in fact, a fake daughter.
At the true daughter’s formal recognition banquet, Jiang Jingchun witnessed something that cut deeper than anything before. The Gu Huaisheng who had always been cold and distant to her now stood before the true daughter and treated her gently and warmly.
He could smile, she realised, but not for her.
From beginning to end, she had been nothing but a colossal joke.
Gu Huaisheng was cruel. She swore she would never like him again.
*
After the true daughter returned, Jiang Jingchun’s heart turned to ashes. She calmly accepted the marriage that the Jiang family arranged for her.
But before the betrothal was finalised, Gu Huaisheng appeared at her family residence’s doorstep.
On a day of heavy rain, he stood in the downpour under an umbrella, gripping her delicate wrist and refusing to let go. He said, “He is not a good man.”
Jiang Jingchun laughed and shook off his hand. “He is still far kinder than you, Cousin.”
Under Jiang Jingchun’s icy gaze, Gu Huaisheng tensed up as a sharp ache spread through his chest.
For the first time, the proud and aloof young marquis understood what it truly meant to feel regret.

Luo Lingwei:
“My parents are gone, my family has no power, and I’m living under someone else’s roof. I’m just not kind enough. All I want is to marry a husband who will cherish and love me. Is that so wrong?”
Lu Yun:
“No, it’s not wrong. But wanting to marry anyone other than me? That’s where you’re wrong.”

A heart as hard as iron is no match for her thousand charms.
When Lin Zhixia was nine years old, with an IQ of over 170, she was obviously a genius. Her daily interests include watching TV, turning over the flower rope, collecting cards of the little raccoon’s crisp noodles, learning English, French, German, Italian, reading journal papers in “Nature” and “Science”, studying Bayesian networks, deep learning, Huppert conjecture, Irreducible character dimension, symplectic geometric topology and nonlinear analysis, transcendentalism and transcendentalism, quantum Monte Carlo method… etc.
When Jiang Yubai was nine years old, he unfortunately became the same table with Lin Zhixia. His daily life includes reluctance to get up, fear of going to school, crushing self-esteem, reshaping self… etc.
On the day of Jiang Yubai’s seventeenth birthday, Lin Zhixia suddenly said to him: “Jiang Yubai, I like you, in the philosophical and biological sense.”
On that night, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he heard his own heartbeat accelerating.
So he asked: “Is this a sustainable, non-incidental, and deterministic feeling?”
Lin Zhixia replied: “Of course.”
Jiang Yubai nodded: “So you like me so much.”
Lin Lan woke up and transmigrated into a shrewish wife who drank pesticides. The original owner ruined her husband’s promising future, and all five of her children became villains in the end.
Her in-laws are biased. The uncles and aunts are insatiable. She has five bear children and a cold-faced husband to take care of. . .
Lin Lan: Trying to take my money? We’ve already separated. I’ll take it back!
My husband dares to run wild? I’ll teach him to be a new man!
It’s difficult to discipline wild children? That is due to the lack of love! Shower them with love!
What’s the matter with that cold-faced man?
Su Man-er had transmigrated into a period novel and became the male lead’s newly wedded wife in the ’80s. He had spent every dime in his possession and more to marry her. The little delicate wife had previously heard that the male lead was impotent from the female lead. And so, she made a scene on her wedding day and had an affair on the third day!
Su Man-er transmigrated to the point in the story when the original owner was hiding in a hut with a man while the male lead and the villagers were waiting outside to catch them red-handed.
As the elite of the flower demon clan, Su Man-er didn’t even hesitate before she knocked the man out. Humph, a man like that wasn’t even worthy enough to touch her feet!
***
“Do you want your official female lead back?” asked Su Man-er. For some odd reason, when the words “official female lead” left her mouth, she felt a sense of unease, as though… as though there was a thorn stuck in her heart.
Chi YunChen looked at her profoundly and said, “If she was the one that I wanted to be with, I wouldn’t have sided with you during the hut incident. Su Man-er, now that I have married you, I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life. Unless you don’t want to be with me and don’t want to be my wife anymore.”
As long as she stayed, he’d be her loyal husband for life.
Su Man-er was touched by his words. Biting her lip, she hesitated on what to say.
On the other hand, he suddenly reached out, grabbed her on her shoulder, and said, “I have been frank with you. Isn’t it your turn now to do the same?”
