In the compound, the young couple living in the east-facing house were the most admired neighbors. After Su Xuezhen graduated from medical school, she became a pediatrician at the hospital, while Cen Bai was assigned to the police station after retiring from the military.... more>>

With matching backgrounds, they were introduced by a matchmaker and fell in love at first sight, leading to marriage. Su Xuezhen was delicate and beautiful, with a lovely personality, while Cen Bai was tall and handsome, making their married life harmonious and blissful.

A year later, Su Xuezhen became pregnant. Just when she thought her life would continue to be so happy, she suddenly developed a high fever one night. Upon waking up, she discovered she had gained a special ability: she could hear people's thoughts when she touched their hands.

A new family moved into the compound, a couple with a son. On the day of their arrival, the wife, Gu Hongqing, came to visit with a basket of egg cakes, but her gaze kept drifting towards their house. Su Xuezhen accidentally touched her hand and heard her thoughts the next moment: "This unlucky face is surprisingly good-looking."

Su Xuezhen: "???"

It wasn't until she heard more of Gu Hongqing's thoughts that she realized this was a period novel, and their family was the control group for the original book's female lead.

Both families in the book had dual-employed parents. The original book's female lead's family seized opportunities for wealth and became rich and prosperous, becoming prominent wealthy merchants. Meanwhile, their family remained stagnant, clinging to their jobs without advancement, only envying the wealth and success of the former.

Success in life isn't just about getting rich overnight. Su Xuezhen declared, "I won't feel ashamed of my work achievements!"

—— ——

Gu Hongqing turned into the lucky female lead from the period novel. She knew the neighboring family was their family's control group and that everything would be overshadowed by them.

But as she waited and waited, all she got was Su Xuezhen becoming a nationally renowned pediatrician and Cen Bai becoming a national hero for solving multiple major cases. In the end, their family took a completely different path from hers. <<less

Why, seems like I've become a haunted portrait.

I was reincarnated and entered an academy where all the rankings are, but isn't it annoying?... more>>

Theodore Anthem, a boy who died and was reincarnated without knowing it, was hoping to live a carefree life this time, but he was (unintentionally) expected to show his talent and was admitted to Chronos Magic Knight Academy.

Theodore, who had been thinking of living a carefree life, was simply unmotivated, and skipped the first important exam after enrolling... and started at the bottom of the rankings at the academy.

Theodore was told that there are many inconveniences to being low in the rankings, and for the first time, he finally got up the courage to do something.

Thus, a man who fell to the bottom due to his own laziness, but who rises to the top by dragging those around him, gathers many people with their own motives around him. <<less

When they first met, Qin Yiyu saw Nan Yi holding a liquor bottle from the doorway, and thought he was there to collect debts.... more>>

But he actually said: “I’m forming a band, to participate in a competition. We’re missing a lead vocalist who can play guitar.”

Qin Yiyu: Oh, it would be better if he came to collect debts.

He agreed in the end, because he didn’t want to give up such a talented bassist.

— Later —

Nan Yi: Qin Yiyu is my target.

Qin Yiyu: (bulb lighting up) likes me.

Nan Yi: We can be friends.

Qin Yiyu: Understood, lip service friendship1. I don’t mind kissing you even though I’m a straight man.

Nan Yi: (inhale)

Qin Yiyu: He really loves me.

—-—

During the competition, no one had high hopes for this new band. Even the staff was talking about it backstage.

“The bassist sure is handsome, but you can’t rely on looks to eat. The drummer is said to have a temper so bad that he’s almost beaten people up. The keyboardist seems to be a bank employee who was fired. Coupled with a popular lead vocalist with a terrible personality who had been kicked out of his previous band, how can this kind of makeshift band win?”

Yet the four of them were right behind them.

Yan Ji: “Get it right, I wasn’t fired but resigned voluntarily, and it was an investment bank, not a bank.”

Chi Zhiyang: “What crap are you spewing! How is my temper bad!”

Qin Yiyu: “In such a long sentence, only the first four words are worth hearing. A person as perfect as myself, the only people who can insult me are either my close friends, or the reincarnation of the violin— a worthless thing.”

Staff: (embarrassed) (cold sweat) (speechless)

Nan Yi said coldly: “Excuse me, the grassroot band is about to go on stage.”

After transmigrating, her family members died or left, leaving only her behind. With a vast fortune, Su Yue shouldered her burden and moved to a place where nobody knew her.

However, the new neighbor, Sister Yang, is overly enthusiastic and on the first day of moving, she secretly selects a potential match for her. Su Yue promptly declines.

"He's skilled and earns a lot every month!"
Su Yue isn't short of money: Rejected.

"He's just a year older than you, a handsome young man! Very good-looking!"
Can he be as good-looking as her: Rejected.

"He's good at cooking, can make anything delicious!"

Reject...
"Well, maybe I can consider it."

However, when Su Yue sees the real person, she realizes that what Sister Yang said were all true!!

The man's appearance breaks her stereotype of the 1970s. Su Yue's long-dormant heart begins to stir.

But...

However, one day, the aloof Yan Wang surprisingly becomes Su Yue's exclusive cook!? While others gossip, the two parties involved ignore the rumors and enjoy themselves.

Later, after being a "male nanny" for a long time, there are more and more idle gossip.

Su Yue thinks: "Rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows because the grass near their burrows isn't 'fresh' enough. And this grass near my burrow, can handle the living room, the kitchen, repair appliances, change light bulbs, has excellent earning ability, and is practically a household necessity! Why hesitate to marry him? I've been annoyed by those envious looks for a long time!"

Qiao Jingming thinks: "After being a cook and nanny for so long, I should get some 'salary' to justify my hard work. When can I bring her home openly and pamper her?"

So, the two quickly agreed, got their marriage certificate, and became a model loving couple of the 1970s! <<less

“And then you’ll take the envelope and leave?”

“Yes. Then, you, Your Grace, will be protected after saying, ‘Didn’t I say I wouldn’t marry anyone but that woman?'”

To elope with Jiang Wangshu, the wealthy young master, Duan Xiuze, stole his household registration book and ran away from home. After marriage, he plucked the stars from the sky, held them in his palms and gave them all to Jiang Wangshu.... more>>

But alas, the good times didn’t last long. Duan Xiuze had a car accident and lost his memory. All that’s left was the time from when he was 17, back when he and Jiang Wangshu were still bitter enemies.

Jiang Wangshu thought it’d be fine if he lost his memory. He was confident in making the other party fall in love with him again.

However, Duan Xiuze found him immediately after he was discharged and wanted to divorce him. He threatened by saying, “The 23-year-old Duan Xiuze must’ve been bewildered by Gu to marry you. Aren’t I just a pure and innocent high schooler?”
