Soon, the elites of Jiangdu are buzzing with gossip: “Is Song Jili completely smitten?”
Song Jili replies with a smirk, “Smitten? My wife’s smile alone is enough to drown me.”
A sweet tale of love and healing unfolds as the gentle painter Chen Cheng learns to embrace her voice, while the ever-charming Song Jili wraps his world around her.

Melon-Eating System + Hilarious Plot + Whole Family Mind-Reading Shenanigans
At 20 years old, Su An’an suddenly acquires a "Melon-Eating System" and discovers her world is part of a book—and her entire family are villains.
Su An’an: "Wait... my family are villains?"
At the same time, the Su family members gain the ability to hear her thoughts.
Villains? Us? Impossible! We’re all law-abiding, upstanding citizens!
Thus begins their journey of abandoning villainy to simply... eat melons (a Chinese slang term for spectating drama).
At a family gathering:
Su An’an: "What?! Old Master Shen is secretly involved with his housekeeper? But isn’t he almost 80?!"
The Su family collectively turns to Old Master Shen and his housekeeper with newfound respect in their eyes: "Still going strong at his age—impressive!"
At a banquet:
Su An’an: "That cold and aloof CEO actually suffers from hemorrhoids? And he’s even applied ointment before coming here?"
The Su family watches the CEO with meaningful gazes: "Ah, so appearances can be deceiving! That explains his awkward posture. Look—he just scratched his butt discreetly!"
After the banquet, the Su family unanimously shortens their bathroom breaks to avoid hemorrhoids.
In the business world:
Father Su hears a new piece of gossip: "The refined and dignified 40-year-old business partner secretly enjoys cross-dressing and role-playing with his wife!"
Father Su, imagining the scene, lowers his head and mutters to himself: "Now I can’t unsee it. How am I supposed to face him professionally anymore?"
With a life filled with endless gossip, the Su family finds sheer joy in eating melons daily. As for being villains?
"Whoever wants to be a villain can go ahead—we’re too busy enjoying ourselves!"

The company where Li Yaolin interned went bankrupt, and the unscrupulous boss who owed her salary absconded with the money, leaving only a bunch of event lottery tickets to pay off the debt.
Li Yaolin drew an island casually, and was also bound to an island management APP called “Poseidon Holiday”.
The island is an uninhabited desert island with scarce fresh water, feces and garbage everywhere, serious marine pollution, and no development value.
[Poseidon Holiday APP: It is your honor to be selected to contribute to the development of the island. Please ask the island owner to develop the island as soon as possible!]
Li Yaolin: …
Blacklist and report one-stop service.
[Poseidon Holiday APP: Confirm the identity of the island owner to get a million cash!]
Li Yaolin: Talking about money is so vulgar, mainly I like to develop islands. So, where can I get a million cash?
[Poseidon Holiday APP: …]

![The Princess Wears a Worn-Out Look After Transmigrating to the 70s [Space]](https://public.readnovelmtl.com/uploads/cover/the-princess-wears-a-worn-out-look-after-transmigrating-to-the-70s-space-1735120646803.jpg)
The Daliang Dynasty has truly fallen.
With rebel forces approaching the city, the gates about to be breached, and the idle Prince Shen Shaoyuan and his daughter hiding in the treasury, they nervously prepared for martyrdom.
However, the rebels failed to breach the treasury, and even the distant sounds of battle slowly quieted down.
Father and daughter finally gathered the courage to open the treasury door.
A neighbor, carrying a hoe, passed by: “Old Shen, the sun is up, time to go to work!”
Good news: they transmigrated, their lives were spared, and the treasury remained intact.
Bad news: everything in this place was completely different from Daliang. Showing off wealth? That was a surefire way to die.
Shen Shaoyuan firmly declared: “We are poor, our family is very poor!”
As the princess of Daliang, before her transmigration, Shen Mo'er had been proposed to by several suitors, including, but not limited to, the son of the Minister, the youngest son of a general, a newly selected scholar, and even the second prince of a neighboring country.
Shen Mo'er’s only criterion for choosing a husband: he must be good-looking.
Unfortunately, before the portraits could be delivered to the prince’s residence, the rebel forces attacked.
After transmigrating, Shen Mo’er glanced at the treasury behind her, then at her neighbor struggling with manure, and sighed deeply.
Fine, she would adjust her standards: first, he must be good-looking; second, poor.
Soon, Shen Mo’er found her target: the educated youth, Fu Zhizhi. He was handsome, fair, and always dressed in tattered clothes, clearly coming from a poor family.
He was the one!
Fu Mingze had been sent to the countryside during a time of unrest. Before he left, his elders had warned him: “Don’t worry about anything, just pretend to be poor. If you find someone suitable, you can even marry and settle down in the countryside. The conditions don't have to be too strict, just be poor.”
Fu Mingze looked at the girl in front of him: messy hair, tattered clothes, but still radiant, and from a famously poor family in the village.
She was the one!
Later, Shen Mo'er looked at a quadrangle courtyard in the capital: “I want to buy this courtyard, money doesn’t matter.”
When the door opened, her husband, who was supposedly going to visit his poor father, stood under the osmanthus tree in a suit, his face showing slight impatience: “As if anyone is short on money. Not for sale!”
They looked at each other in stunned silence.
Shen Mo'er thought: Poor? A destitute father? Haha, I don't believe your lies!
But at least, they no longer had to pretend.
