One-line Intro: Marriage Before Love | President Xue, didn't you hate me?

Theme: Loving you is my instinct.

Body exceptionally strong long-legged honey-waist tough guy versus bold and open capitalist little princess. [Rebirth, Marital Exchange, Space, Marriage Before Love, Sweet Nurturing, Face-slapping]. Jiang Wanqiu and her younger sister were both reborn on the day they were sent down to the countryside.

Right after her rebirth, the sister's first priority was to snatch Wanqiu's cadre husband and push the poor and useless tough guy from the countryside onto Wanqiu, waiting to laugh at her.

Jiang Wanqiu, who was strangled to death by her husband in her previous life, was ecstatic: Perfect! Who wants that good-for-nothing ex-husband who is impotent in that aspect and loves domestic violence? She turned around and married into the village with her [Extremely Happy Space]. She looked at the Northeastern tough guy husband with his eight-pack abs who was fierce and silent with bright eyes.

Poor? The aphrodisiac perfumes and aphrodisiac wine from the space secretly made her a ten-thousand-yuan household! Countrified? She played with the joys of the boudoir to the extreme, making the tough guy husband beg for mercy every night from her teasing!

While the sister was still in the city living a widow's life and fighting with her mother-in-law, Jiang Wanqiu had already moved into a big villa, drove a car, and achieved success in both career and love! Jiang Wanxia was so jealous she nearly exploded: How could a country bumpkin like you live better than me?

Jiang Wanqiu curled her red lips and wrapped her arms around the man's neck beside her: Probably because, my man... is capable? As for the man being unable to give birth and being sterile? Jiang Wanqiu looked at the collapsed bed again and the group of little cubs running around on the floor.

Dragged her still numb body, being hugged and slowly coaxed by the man, she couldn't take it anymore.

Who said he was impotent! He's incredibly fierce!

Everyone in the Haicheng social circle knows one thing: the cold-hearted Young Master of the Bo family has been looking for a woman abroad for two years.

Even though there was no word from her at all, he never gave up.

Therefore, people in the circle began to envy the woman whom Bo Siye kept in his heart and thought about for two years.

Until the young lady of the Jiang family, who was forced to go abroad, suddenly returned to the country.

At first, when people saw Bo Siye and her going in and out together, they thought this young lady of the Jiang family wanted to cling to Bo Siye to stabilize her position in the Jiang family.

However, at a banquet.

Bo Siye got into a fight with his biological brother during an argument.

Just as it seemed the other party was about to die in the enraged Bo Siye's hands, Jiang Siyu appeared.

She spoke: "Bo Siye."

It was just a name.

The very next second, everyone saw the enraged man immediately restrain his ferocity and quickly walk up to Jiang Siyu.

"A Yu," he tentatively hooked his little finger around hers. Seeing that she didn't refuse, he cared less about the occasion and lowered his head to act coquettishly towards her.

He leaned against the woman's beautiful neck: "So annoying, it's hard work for my A Yu to come all this way again."

PS: First loves for each other, body and heart belong only to each other.

On the day Jin Zhao and Meng Yanxi reunited, a student in class had just teased her, asking if she had ever had a crush.

The wind rustled the pages of the book. Jin Zhao smiled slightly and nodded. 'Yes. He was tall and handsome. Although he looked cool, his words were sharp—so sharp you worried he might poison himself just by licking his lips—but his heart was actually warm and soft. Aside from being a bit of a dork sometimes and having a terrible alcohol tolerance, he had no flaws. He even had exceptionally good luck.'

After class, she waited by the roadside for her Didi ride. A black sedan pulled up in front of her, and the locks clicked open.

She was低头 (looking down) replying to a message and casually pulled open the car door and got in.

The car drove off, and at the same time, a phone rang. The loud, hearty voice of the Didi driver rang in her ear: 'You got into the wrong car! I was honking like crazy behind you, couldn't you hear? That's a Maybach, a limited edition worth over 10 million. How dare you?'

Jin Zhao was stunned and was about to confirm with the car owner when the man who had been silent in the driver's seat suddenly looked up.

Through the rearview mirror, Jin Zhao unexpectedly met a pair of dark peach blossom eyes.

Jin Zhao: '...'

Help! I boarded the wrong crush's Maybach!

Song Ying never dreamed that she would be with Meng Shiyan.

The two met by chance as children, but they were fundamentally worlds apart.

Meng Shiyan was the typical 'born at the finish line' type. With superior looks and immense power, his biggest修行 (cultivation/discipline) in life was spending money.

Song Ying was obsessed with researching fortune-telling commands, trying every way to get DeepSeek to tell her how to make a fortune overnight.

No work, no capital, no side effects, money coming from all sides, and ideally, a blossom or two of romance.

DeepSeek told her to find Doubao.

Song Ying had been flirting with a sudden crush for half a year. The day she finally decided to confess, Meng Shiyan drove her there, and it started to drizzle on the way.

Song Ying: 'The water flows and the channel forms. Good omen!'

Meng Shiyan looked at her expressionlessly: 'Ying (Reflection/Shine), Fire. Water overcomes Fire. That guy is bad for you.'

Song Ying cursed him for being a jinx.

Song Ying didn't even get to start her confession before she started arguing with the crush.

Meng Shiyan tried to mediate but was pushed to the ground by the渣男 (scumbag). Glass shards cut his finger, making Song Ying so angry she cut ties with the scumbag on the spot.

Outside the pharmacy, Meng Shiyan let Song Ying wrap his finger into a butterfly knot, looking guilty: 'Sorry, it's all because of me. I'll compensate you.'

Song Ying said: 'No need, it has nothing to do with you.'

Meng Shiyan suddenly lowered himself and kissed her, and said it again: 'I'll compensate you.'

*

After they got together, Song Ying recalled Meng Shiyan's actions and felt they seemed familiar but couldn't pinpoint what was strange.

Until one time eating hotpot, the TV in the small community shop was playing an idol drama. It was at the part where the green tea bitch villainess interferes to break up the main couple, with the female antagonist pretending to be pushed over by the female lead.

Song Ying suddenly slapped her thigh in realization.

When men play the green tea bitch, life really gets better!

#Why should the childhood friend fight the sudden arrival? #Because the childhood friend fights, competes, and plays the green tea bitch ^_^

One-sentence synopsis: Wrongly boarded the crush's Maybach!

Theme: Female Growth

【Cold Obsessive Tyrant VS The 'White-cut-black' Delicate Girl + Marriage of Convenience】Her boyfriend, a delivery man who pretended to be poor for three years, turned out to be the young master of the Fu Group? He pretended to love her, then coldly broke it off, just to help his first love mock her! Su Muci left with a clear mind, turned around and got a marriage certificate with her bestie's eldest brother, preparing for the wedding...

When Fu Hengzhi, the young master of the Fu Group, saw that she was about to marry someone else, he finally turned red-eyed: 'Isn't this play you're acting just to win me back? Come with me, let's start over...' Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked five meters away by the prospective groom Huo Zhan's powerful long legs.

Huo Zhan's voice was chillingly cold: 'If you touch a single hair on her head, you will die.'

Su Muci thought she had married the unnamed radio deputy station head from her bestie's family. Until she walked into top-tier banquets arm-in-arm with him—no one dared to sit if she didn't sit, no one dared to eat if she didn't eat... She then realized her husband was the world-renowned business emperor!

The story begins with a divorce that turns into a plea for reconciliation.

Step by step, calculations are made.

Who is sincere and who is pretending?

The female lead is the daughter of a transmigrated female agent, a mama's girl, and the darling of the group.

If you don't like it, don't engage. Turn left and thank you.

Born in a wasteland of the post-apocalyptic world, Xu Manzhi died in battle and accidentally time-traveled into the body of the real wealthy daughter of the Jiang family in the 70s, sharing the same name.

Wow.

The fake daughter is the darling of the Jiang family, while the real daughter is a brainless beauty. With nothing but a stunning face and a greed for the Jiang family's power, she was directly abandoned by her family, and her biological father arranged for her to marry a disfigured officer.

A cast-off of a powerful family?

Marrying an ugly man?

When everyone thought Xu Manzhi would cry bitterly and beg for mercy, she was happily eating a meat bun in one hand and a chicken leg in the other.

The ugly man came to her doorstep, humbly asking to break off the engagement.

She hooked her arm around the man's shoulder and patted him hard. "An ugly man is safe. It doesn't stop me from enjoying good food out there. Don't worry, as long as I don't dislike you, just treat the world's eyeballs as if they don't exist."

Snap.

The ugly man, Yan Lin, suddenly looked up and asked quietly, "W-wife... can I?"

"Of course!"

"Good."

The next second, Xu Manzhi was carried into the house waist-high.

A woman's shout came from inside the room: "Yan Lin, what are you doing?"

"Wife, two people in one room, what else would we do?"

"Have... a baby?"

"Mm, five is enough."

Xu Manzhi swallowed. It was the first time in her life she felt her legs go weak.

The next second, she flipped over and straddled him, hooking the man's ruined face and giving an evil smile: Little sample, the MHC belonging to me has still fallen乖乖 into my palm?

In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.

To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardest work at home and ate the worst food.

She lived cautiously with her son and daughter.

Zhao Zhenzhen believed that once the children were grown, her suffering would finally come to an end.

Unexpectedly, her son grew up to be a murderer.

Her daughter was sold by her in-laws into the mountains and died from domestic violence just a few days later.

Zhao Zhenzhen went mad; she poisoned her in-laws and then committed suicide by jumping into a river.

Reborn into this life, Zhao Zhenzhen is determined to get a divorce.

What? Zhou Bingchen got promoted? He wants her to join him at his post?

No thanks, Zhao Zhenzhen won't be the Chief's Wife.

After a space interception and a wormhole穿越, Ming Zhao opened her eyes to find herself in 1970 as the "little pitiful one" abused by her adoptive parents.

The Alliance's new scientific star instantly turned into a punching bag? That doesn't happen!

The scientific expert turned around and sent her adoptive parents to the State Security Bureau as spies, but unexpectedly got herself thrown into the station too.

Huo Hua,受重伤 (injured), went to bail her out upon his comrade's request. He got her out, but what should he do with this hot potato of a person whose identity is too sensitive?

Alright then, a fake marriage, and she's arranged into the officers' quarters!

From then on, the cold-faced commander gained a "little wife" behind him who either keeps silent or speaks to death.

Neighbors in the family compound: Why is this new daughter-in-law so arrogant? She ignores people and doesn't answer questions!

Commander Huo (calmly explaining): "She's read too many books, she's a bit slow."

Actual internal monologue: Is she dismantling my radio again? What does she want to dismantle next?!

Ancient cultivator Tang Jin was caught in a battle between cultivators and exotic beasts over a spiritual treasure and was accidentally transmigrated to another world.

He found himself to be a physically weak four-year-old child. Before he could even figure out his identity, his father was on the verge of death, and his whole family was being hunted down.

With his strength too weak, Tang Jin had to find a way to seek protection. However, the military forces protecting them were too weak. Their equipment, provisions, and combat power were so far behind those foreign countries they spoke of.

No, he had to make them strong quickly. Otherwise, where would his sense of security come from?

He kept working hard and trying... Hey?

How did his dad become the Commander? His older brothers all became elite members of special forces.

And he... was summoned by the Great Leader whom the whole nation adored.

Most importantly, the people from those foreign countries wanted to kill his whole family even more.
