My name is Lin Luoqing. Today, I transmigrated into a book but I’m not panicked at all. It is because I know the direction of this book very well. I can definitely use the plot advantage to reach the peak of my life and become a winner in life!... more>>

Hey, what is with that child over there who is peeking at me? How did he show up at my house? He is looking at me with three parts sadness, five parts dissatisfaction and two parts complicated.

“Child, what is your name?" I ask him gently, trying to make him feel the warmth of the spring breeze.

The child looked suspicious and cold. “Lin Fei.”

F*k! Isn’t this the cold-faced king of hell in the novel? He was tortured by his uncle in childhood and started to torture his uncle as an adult. Then this body I transmigrated into—it was that tr*sh uncle!

Nevertheless, I didn’t panic. I decided to save myself. I hugged this young king of hell and kept kissing his soft and tender face. “Uncle loves you.”

He might dislike me now but I believe that under the education of my love, we will definitely become a good uncle and nephew of China, moving me and him!

Wait, who is that beautiful woman over there? Why are the corners of her eyes twitching? “Please, Luo Luo, please help your brother. You can marry Ji Yuxiao. You are bringing a child with you and he also has one. The two of you can get in touch with these children!”

Oh, woman, don’t think I don’t know that you are the one who first looked at Ji Yuxiao’s beautiful face, rich family and wealth and wanted to climb up high. Now that he was in a car accident and has injured legs, you don’t like him anymore? Do you think I will agree?

“I agree.”

It is because I remember that in the novel, the original owner of the body didn’t agree. This made him and the Lin family enter the blacklist of the most ruthless villain, Ji Yuxiao’s nephew. I haven’t embarked on the peak of life and become a life winner yet. How can I be on the blacklist?

I hold my suitcase in my left hand and the king of hell in my right and enter Ji Yuxiao’s home.

“This child is very fierce. You must not provoke him.” I gave a reminder to the young, cold-faced king of hell beside me.

The cold-faced king of hell is very dismissive.

Wait for it, the amazing king of hell. The villain will teach you how to be a man in a minute!

After a while, a soft glutinous rice ball-like child appears in the room. The child’s voice is very babyish. The cold-faced king of hell pokes him in the face and asks me, ‘Is that it? Just this? Fierce?”

Me: ……

Later, I found that Ji Yuxiao didn’t die according to the plot in the book. Even his legs are healed and every day, he wants to go car racing with me until late at night!

“You beast!”

Who says he is moody, cold, noble and uncertain? I must have read a fake book! How can I become a winner in life? I didn’t expect that I actually became a winner in life in the end.

The cold-faced king of hell: Dad, I just made 100 million and deposited it in your card.

The big villain: Dad, the antique car I just bought from an auction is in your garage.”

Ji Yuxiao: Wife, did you drop this gold card or this black card? Forget it, I’ll give it all to you.”

Me: ….Just—this is fine. <<less

As the princess of Planet Moyi, she decided to save herself. First, solve the money problem.

So she took out the "Guide to Conquering Earthlings 2003 Edition" that experts from Planet Moyi had carefully compiled years ago -

"Chapter 1 How to Elegantly Make Money":

"Beginner's Guide: Find a high-end building, take a broken bowl, and sit there for a day to elegantly make enough money to spend for one day."

However, after sitting bitterly for a day, Lan Xi didn't make a penny and was driven away by security guards -

"Don't sit here begging, President Xie already criticized us for negligence! Besides, it's not that era anymore, beggars use QR codes now!"

No problem, there's still -

"Intermediate Guide: Find a luxury car, pretend to be hit by it, lie on the ground paralyzed, and you can elegantly make enough money to spend for three months."

However, before Lan Xi could lie down, a driver got out of the car -

"We have dash cams installed! Move away quickly, President Xie is in a hurry. I'll sue you if you try this scam again!"

This tactic also failed. But no worries, there's still -

"Ultimate Guide: Find a rich Earthling, conquer him, marry him, and you can elegantly make enough money to spend for a lifetime."

Very well, might as well go all out and get it done once and for all!

Lan Xi already had a perfect candidate in mind, the boss of the company she begged at on the first day, the owner of the luxury car - Xie Cheng!

Xie Cheng met a strange beautiful woman.

On the first day, she begged at the door of his company;

On the second day, she staged a car accident scam on him;

On the third day, she blocked him in an alley, with a face of great mercy -

"I really like your money, I hope it becomes mine."

"So I've decided to marry you."

She coughed -

"Are you going to voluntarily be conquered by me, or be forcibly conquered by me?"

Knowing she was destined to lose everything, Shen Yue decided to just lie down and give up. If she was going to lose it all anyway, she might as well just lie down and relax.

“Big brother, is working at the company fun? Let me check it out,” she thought, wanting to enjoy the perks of being a Shen daughter while she still could. Those luxuries would be out of reach soon enough.

“Second brother, is acting fun? Let me give it a try,” she schemed. What? They pay you just to lie still like a corpse? This is a job she had to get!

“Third brother, is that gun realistic? Let me see,” she said, examining the firearm. Not bad, though the recoil is too strong. She’d need to find a smaller one to play with next time.

“Fourth brother, will the teachers be mad if I sneak into your research institute? Let me take a peek,” she plotted, eyeing her handsome professor. A little hugging wouldn’t hurt!

“Fifth brother, that medicine you’re working on smells nice. Mind if I try a little taste…” she asked casually before sampling it. Tastes good! But now my head feels itchy—I better not be growing a brain!

On the day the real heiress returned, Shen Yue’s five brothers shielded her behind them. “Dear sister, can we keep her with us? She’s a bit slow, it’d be dangerous for her out there alone.”

The true heiress scoffed coldly, masking her sly intentions beneath a guise of innocence.

But in the end, she realized this Shen Yue really was quite dim-witted. Oh well, might as well let her stay. <<less
