CompletedYao Zhizhi, with her gossip system, transmigrated into one of the "five golden flowers and one treasure" family. Her parents, in order to find some long-term blood donors for Yaozu, asked urban relatives to introduce three young men.
There was a divorced factory director with a child, a widowed cadre with a child, and the four older sisters couldn't decide. Yao Zhizhi thought, "Fine, I'll pick that dying sickly man. At least he's a first-time groom, and I won't have to be a stepmother."
"Besides, how can a sickly man be a blood donor? The answer is: the man is dying, and he's poor!" A sickly man is good, a sickly man causes less trouble. Her mother-in-law even promised her that regardless of whether they could have offspring, as long as she could make the sickly man happy for the last few years of his life, once he kicked the bucket, she would help her find a reliable man for remarriage.
She didn't care much about remarrying; just having an urban household registration was tempting enough. She could also tag along with her beat cop mother-in-law to gossip and watch the drama, making her life lively and fulfilling.
Later, they had children, and the sickly man still hadn't kicked the bucket. He was also like a fortune-teller, always accurately guessing who the culprit was. Yao Zhizhi increasingly hoped he would live a long life; her children couldn't be without a father.
One day, she returned home with her mother-in-law after mediating a dispute, only to find a group of strangers at their doorstep. Yao Zhizhi grew inexplicably excited: "New gossip?" The man said, "...Wife, they are your biological parents." Yao Zhizhi was dumbfounded.
CompletedLiang Xinxin was an abandoned child. At the age of eighteen, her foster mother handed her an address and told her to go to Hong Kong to find her biological grandparents.
On her way there, the ferry capsized.
Just as she thought she was doomed, a hand pulled her out of the water.
The one who saved her was a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, high heels, and smoking a cigarette. The fiery red lips of the woman, standing against the backdrop of exploding flames, left an indelible impression on her.
To repay her savior, Liang Xinxin offered to work as her maid.
However, the woman tossed her a wad of cash and said, “Help me put on a show. Some people from Hesantang are threatening to cut off my son’s fingers. You just need to pretend to be his wife and cry loudly, claiming that your husband is dead. If they want to cut off his fingers, they can do it in the underworld!”
Liang Xinxin: ???
Alright, a life-saving favor must be repaid!
She changed into mourning clothes and cried her heart out, convincing Hesantang’s enemies. They decided to postpone their vengeance until after the “funeral.”
But why, when she woke up, was she sitting in a wedding car?
This was not going according to plan!
Liang Xinxin banged on the car door, “Let me out!”
From the front seat, a familiar voice reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. My son works for the Office of the Living and the Dead. He asked me to bring you over so he can see you. If you’re willing, you can marry him. If not, I’ll give you some money to settle down.”
Initially planning to just play along and leave, Liang Xinxin was stunned by how handsome the man was. By the time their kids were old enough to run errands, she still hadn’t figured out how she ended up agreeing to the marriage.
Now she spends her days meeting her husband in the realms of the living and the dead, which is quite horrifying! But it’s too late to regret.
Look, he’s off to another night shift!
Sigh, left alone at home, she had no choice but to join her mother-in-law in card games.
Accidentally, she won a shop.
Accidentally, she won a building.
Accidentally…
By the time she realized, she had become a feared landlord in Hong Kong, ruling both the living and the dead!
And so, Liang Xinxin’s life became like this:
“Hello, Landlady, can you check if there’s space in the underworld? My son is so lazy; he says he’d rather die than work. Maybe let him move there?”
“Hello, Landlady, are there any cheap rental flats in Kowloon? My late wife came back to see me, and I can’t let her find me homeless.”
“Hello…”
