Synopsis

Yuan Shu died on the most glorious day of her life. She came from a family of generals and was the mistress of a wealthy family in the ancient past. She was responsible for a family with several hundred family members. Before she died, the emperor even awarded her the Imperial Mandate Mrs. Yuan title. Her life was full of glamor.However, after waking up one day, she realized she had transmigrated into a book. She became the cannon fodder who used cunning means to get married to the male lead. She was also destined to get a divorce and die young! Moreover, as soon as she transmigrated, she was faced with the problems left behind by the male lead after he disappeared. These included his rumored mistress, who showed up pregnant, his second brother, who often went missing in search of excitement, his third sister, who was an idiot, his fouth brother, who often got into fights and could never hold down a job, and his fifth brother who was a man of duplicity and had a twisted personality. The male lead also had many enemies who were waiting for their next prey.While Yuan Shu wasn't quite bothered by the other stuff, she felt an itch in her hand, which happened to have a whip, while she looked at the male lead's four problematic siblings. Before she transmigrated, all the children in her family were people who contributed to society. She could not tolerate losers like those in front of her.She didn't mind discussing the matter of divorce later. The most important thing before she got a divorce was bringing these four kids back on track! Hence, when the missing male lead returned, he realized everything had changed!His second brother, who had just won the best actor award and stood on stage while receiving his award, said, "I would like to thank my sister-in-law. Without her, I wouldn't be standing here today."His third sister got into a prestigious university in the country. "I would like to thank my sister-in-law..."His fourth brother stood on stage at a diplomatic event. "I would like to thank my sister-in-law..."His fifth brother brought glory to the country. "I would like to thank my sister-in-law..."Even his past enemies openly showed their admiration for his wife.'What happened to this world?' Shi Xiao thought to himself. He went missing, but he didn't die. So why was everyone waiting in line to marry his wife?

    I truly love the way this storyline has started off. It stirs my emotions when the wife takes over the lead role while hubby is MIA! Please continue with is I like the female lead with her no nonsense attitude but firm convictions.

    The remarks about Africa are kinda offensive as an Africa person reading this novel. I hope the autho will not make such remarks in the future

    this novel has a combination of other novel. In the part of the ml leaving after getting married and the pregnancy stunt is a little bit similar to " madam is a sensational figure in the city". While in the area of her going for brother-in-law has a similar part in "the crippled boss loves me". I was reading and was getting confused because it keeps looking like I have read a similar story but I have to check and see the different points in it.

    Dropped!!👎🏽👎🏽👎🏾👎🏾 It’s insulting the way the author portrays Africa. There’s no excusing that kind of prejudice. It’s disgusting.

    this kind of novel is what i really like not pursuing the male lead or telling her plans. just being herself like reading the story without too much details or something that kinda distracting from what currently happening

    I really liked the beginning. Strong, interesting characters and FL was awesome. The plot was not on the strong side, unfortunately, there were some pretty heavy deux ex machina in the middle of the story. And if I say that the ending was rushed, it's only half the truth. Quite disappointed in this one. At least it had decent translation which is not given on this page as of late. SPOILER ! ! ! I really liked our main villain Jiang cause he had character and was clever. Maybe too much because writer did him dirty and used quite heavy handed twists to make him less desirable partner than ML. Our FL also was suddenly very cold and ultra rational in everything related to him which just left bad taste in my mouth, especially when she was emotional towards our ML. It was in the middle of the story and I needed to take a break fromt this novel because of it. ! For anyone who cannot finish the story, here is brief summary: She will end up with ML. Probably because the finale was so rushed the unfinished plotlines are like little tentacles all around it. ML Shi returned to country safe and soudn, initially uninterested towards FL, slowly falling for her. In very immature way, in my opinion. Comparison to villain Jiang... le sigh. But he cared for her and was capable in managing company. Villain Jiang (sorry if names are wrong, bad memory) was her childhood friend from previous life who "summoned" her to this world. He really loved her and did many things for her. When FL first arrived, she lost her memories of her husband and villain - which she has done herself to forget villain IN HER PREVIOUS LIFE. They were kind of childhood sweethearts but as general daughter, she married for politicks. She made here choice in not marrying villain and drank water from river of forgetfulness to forget him. In order to help her remember, he prepared movie filming with their story from previous life depicting everything. Eventually, FL remembered. Villain Jiang was done dirty by author and was portraited as megalomaniac and ruthless character in previous dynasty for which our FL didn't want anything to do with him. She even kind of tricked him so he will be unable to marry her (told him she will marry the best ranked guy in the emperor's exams - she knew it would be best "warrior" and tricked him to obtain the best scholar title). In the end, he ended up as fiance of some Song chick which he will probably off in the future cause she arranged kidnapping of FL and wanted her rxped and our villain loves FL much soo... Siblings are ok and doing good, probably. The first villain was Jiang, second master moving in the shadows was that Li Ci (?) guy who wanted compete with Shi and Jiang families, and third was some unknown figure who really messed up the plot and had good understanding of the situation (kind of prophetic) and wanted Shi family destroyed. We never found out who it was, my personal bet was probably FL previous husband from last life? Just had this feeling. The story unfortunatelly got dropped before it was finished. As for the chick who ML found in Africa - she was manipulative, white lotus character and she was working for third unknown villain. Not even sure if she liked ML, tbh.

    I finished reading this novel. It started good, the character development was good . It added lot of characters and plots , some mysterious person behind trying to ruin the Shi family and and the FL Yuan Shu and then suddenly it’s the done. Very bad ending. All the plot holes are not addresses. I wouldn’t recommend this novel for ppl looking for a closure for the plots and the other characters. It’s like they had to force end this book

    I would like to ask, Yuan Shu comes from ancient times, right? So, the story she read before transmigrates was about future era? Then, the ones wrote this story was comes from the future? World development was good for the present time, however, the past and the future was a bit off to me. Please, someone help to explain about this plot of two eras. I'm getting confused. 🤔🤔🤔
