[Pre-Order: After Failing to Seduce the Enemy Prince – Please Add to Your Collection!]
Mu Anning lived as the obedient eldest daughter of the Marquis’s household for over a decade, only to suddenly discover she was the villainess in a novel. When the beloved real heiress returned, Mu Anning, the fake heiress, fell from grace into the mud, despised by all, and ultimately took her own life.
No wonder the boy she had loved for half her life never spared her a glance.
The marriage envied by all the noble ladies had never been hers to begin with.
So, she made the boldest decision of her life: she went alone to break off the engagement, setting him free.
But the real heiress’s gaze toward her seemed… unusual.
[You go, girl! Men are a dime a dozen—if one doesn’t work out, just swap him out!]
Mu Anning: What?!
Gu Huaizhi, the arrogant heir of the Prince of Anqing, discovered that his fiancée, who had always adored him, wanted to break off their engagement.
He sneered coldly, “Perfect! I never wanted to marry you anyway!”
He had always found her dull and uninteresting. If not for his family’s pressure, he would have ended things long ago.
But after getting his wish, he felt something was off. His desk, once filled with daily deliveries of osmanthus cakes, now felt empty.
When they met again at a teahouse, she approached him with a smile, carrying a food box.
His eyes flickered, and he reluctantly reached out to take it. But the next moment, she walked past him and handed the box to the Imperial Examination’s third-place scholar, calling him sweetly, “Ah Huai.”
The teacup slipped from his hand, shattering loudly, and blood seeped from the corner of his lips.
Even in the past, she had never been so affectionate with him.
Later, he heard she was getting engaged.
For the first time, the proud young master panicked and confronted her: “Mu Anning, is this what you meant when you said you’d never marry anyone but me?”
But all he got was her cold, distant reply: “Young Master, please behave yourself.”
Only then did the prodigy learn what jealousy and unrequited love truly felt like.
Only in death would she ever look at him again.
“With three lifetimes of sorrow, I wish you one lifetime of peace.”
“Ah Ning, may you grow old with him…”

Thinking she’d encounter all sorts of villains, she rolls up her sleeves, ready to teach them a lesson.

CompletedLin Qiao transmigrated into a period novel she had only vaguely heard about from a friend—so vaguely that she didn’t even remember the male lead’s name.
As the cannon fodder female supporting character in the novel, she was mismatched with the male lead. He married her only to gain freedom to pursue his business ventures, trading marital freedom for career freedom. Once he succeeded, she became a nuisance and was eventually divorced, left with nothing but a settlement.
Lin Qiao thought, This is… perfect!
She’d have food, shelter, no marital obligations, and a hefty alimony. Why not marry him? Otherwise, she’d be sold off by her uncle and aunt.
On the day of the formal matchmaking meeting, the tall, handsome man arrived in a crisp uniform, sitting upright with a stern expression. He looked more like he was in a war room than on a date.
But he handed over his salary card and bankbook.
Lin Qiao accepted them without hesitation, ready to wait for her husband to file for divorce.
In the first year of marriage, she rubbed her sore waist, feeling something was off.
In the second year, she noticed the extra stripes and stars on his uniform, feeling even more confused.
Then one day, the man’s nephew got drunk at their house and tearfully confessed that he regretted pushing this arranged marriage onto his uncle.
The man, who was calmly peeling shrimp for her, shot a glance at his nephew, who instantly sobered up and turned pale.
That’s when Lin Qiao realized: She hadn’t married the male lead. She’d married his cold-faced, ruthless uncle!
No wonder he hadn’t mentioned divorce even after she was pregnant!

CompletedAfter waking up, Song Shu found herself transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder wife of a 1980s Hong Kong tycoon.
Her sister-in-law had run off with a wealthy businessman, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter.
Her legendary gangster husband didn’t even show his face at their wedding.
The original owner of her body had also run away after resolving her identity issues, leading to the tycoon’s niece being kidnapped.
As a result, the original owner was caught by the tycoon and drowned in the sea.
When Song Shu met the little girl’s round, innocent eyes, she decided to lay low to avoid the same fate.
But not long after, she found herself face-to-face with a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man.
Song Shu poked his waist and said, “Wasn’t I just renting a room from you?”
The man shamelessly wrapped his arms around her waist and coaxed, “Well, now I can rent your room too.”
The once-feared gangster was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Zonghao, a notorious gangster, heard that his sister-in-law had arranged a marriage for him with a mainland girl.
His brothers laughed, “A mainland girl? Is she tiny and timid?”
That night, he returned home and was immediately hit with a stick. Looking up, he saw the mainland girl glaring fiercely at him.
Chen Zonghao sneered inwardly, So much for being timid.
He vowed to teach this woman who dared to hit him a lesson.
Later, during an interview, a reporter asked, “Mr. Chen, how do you respond to rumors that you’re henpecked?”
Chen Zonghao remained silent, thinking, It’s not that I’m henpecked; I just don’t bother arguing with her.
But as soon as he returned home:
“Honey, dinner’s ready.”
“Honey, I’ve drawn your bath.”
“Honey…”
Song Shu looked at the man trailing behind her like a puppy and teased, “Chen Zonghao, everyone says you’re henpecked.”
The man didn’t care, “Oh, that’s because they don’t have a wife.”
Pre-Order: The Little Daughter-in-law of the 1970s Compound
Lucky Alley was buzzing with excitement recently.
The youngest daughter of the Su family was said to be arranging a marriage.
The girl had been beautiful since childhood, the most stunning flower in the entire alley.
Everyone wanted to see who would win her hand.
The first suitor was a small employee from a factory’s logistics department, wearing glasses and looking very refined.
The second suitor was a former soldier turned police officer, with a scar on his eyebrow that could scare children in the alley.
Everyone assumed the delicate girl would choose the first suitor—a city-born man with supportive parents and a lucrative job.
The second suitor was from the countryside, orphaned, and just a lowly police officer.
To everyone’s surprise, the Su family’s daughter chose the second suitor.
The neighbors sighed, thinking the girl had no taste.
Li Wanru, who had been reborn, arrived just in time for her best friend’s matchmaking.
Remembering her best friend’s future life as a wealthy lady, she decided to steal her suitor.
This time, she would live the life her best friend had in her previous life.
Lucky Alley hosted two weddings on the same day.
One was the Li family’s daughter marrying the logistics employee.
The other was the Su family’s daughter marrying the police officer.
Strangely, both couples lived in the same compound.
After marrying, Li Wanru waited and waited for her in-laws to serve her and for her husband to strike it rich.
But instead, her life grew worse, while Su Qingli’s life improved, eventually moving out of the compound and relocating to the capital with her husband’s promotion.
CompletedYan Sisi accidentally fell into the water and only then realized she was living inside a period novel.
In the book, the female lead was her “cousin,” a switched-at-birth true heiress who returned from the countryside, married the “son of a high-ranking official,” went to university, and fought against her toxic family to uncover her true identity. After overcoming numerous obstacles, she reunited with her biological parents.
As for Yan Sisi, the only child of a dual-income family, she was merely a foil to the female lead—a tool to highlight the female lead’s resilience, kindness, and to deliver the golden finger: a “wooden bracelet” that granted a storage space.
Once the female lead put on the bracelet, she unlocked the storage space and even gained good luck, with people always stepping in to help whenever she faced difficulties.
After regaining her memories, Yan Sisi thought: Wouldn’t it be better if I unlocked the storage space myself?
To her surprise, when she successfully unlocked the space, it turned out to be a随身种植空间 (portable planting space). Planting anything inside attracted a swarm of foodies, and there were even little spirits to pamper. Life couldn’t get any better.
What are the female lead and male lead? Are fragrant, sweet fruits not delicious? Is waking up naturally every day not a good life?
Yan Sisi stayed away from the female lead and others who kept approaching her, comfortably lounging in her dream courtyard and living a retirement life ahead of time in the 1970s.

CompletedCorporate worker Si Li transmigrated into the body of the legitimate daughter left behind by the late wife of the Ning Dynasty’s Chief Minister. Her father was preoccupied with court affairs, and her stepmother was sweet on the surface but cruel at heart.
Forced to adapt, Si Li, a takeout expert in her past life, picked up a kitchen knife and began working for the Chef God System, which claimed that earning enough points could change her dire situation.
[Ding! A plate of burnt charcoal. Points -1.]
[Ding! A bowl of barely edible porridge. Points +0.]
[Ding! A plate of poorly sliced cucumber salad. Points +1.]
[...]
After finally earning enough points, Si Li went from being a pitiful girl waiting to die to the famous proprietor of Wanglai Residence, a renowned restaurant in the capital. She thrived, amassing wealth, indulging in gourmet food, and attracting lines of customers that could circle the capital three times.
She woke up naturally, counted money until her hands cramped, and even her stepmother humbly came to ask for her help, while her stepsister seethed with resentment but dared not act out.
The only annoyance was her father, who frowned and said, “You’re so old and still not married? This is outrageous!”
Si Li: Excuse me? Mind your own business!
Just then, the Eastern Palace entourage arrived with betrothal gifts. The fierce, arrogant, and cold Crown Prince Jiang Hengyun smiled gently at her and said, “Li Li, why didn’t you wait for me?”
Si Li: ??? Do we know each other?
A monk once said that Jiang Hengyun’s killing aura was too heavy, and he should not be allowed close to others. His father, the Emperor, erased his military achievements and forbade him from appearing at court without reason.
Jiang Hengyun never believed in divine coincidences or fate—until plates of food and strange notes began appearing out of nowhere.
“If you cook it yourself, you have to eat it, even if it’s terrible.”
“Corporate slavery? No thanks. Let others enjoy the ‘blessings’ of overtime.”
“Eating hot pot alone is fine, but it’s more fun with someone else.”
“...”
The lively words of this mysterious person shattered the icy facade he had maintained for years.
In the cold night, you were my only warmth.
