JAG excerpt or history parts Just for those who want to look at organized Starting Excerpts from my Story It's Just a Game.

I refused to donate my kidney to my sister, Juliette. As punishment, my family forced me to marry the Don of the Chicago mafia. Everyone said Caius Castellano kept people at arm’s length, that his heart still belonged to his first love. Everyone was waiting for my downfall. But against all odds, Caius worshipped me. In the three years of our marriage, he was insatiable, his hands perpetually on me, no matter where we were. He’d even follow me into the bathroom, pressing me against the cold marble countertop. We never used protection, yet I never conceived. Then one day, thinking I was finally pregnant, we went to a private clinic. And there, I overheard a conversation between him and the doctor. "Caius, three years ago, you had me secretly transplant Sera’s kidney into Juliette. And now you want me to lie and tell her she’s naturally infertile? How can you be so cruel to the woman who loves you?" "I had no choice. Juliette is too frail—she would have been destroyed in the Marco family if she couldn’t have children. And only Sera’s kidney was a match." The voice I knew so intimately was suddenly foreign, colder than ice. The love and salvation I had clung to were nothing but an elaborate lie. If that was the truth… then I had to run. It was my only way out.

It was their way of life. It was how she’d been brought up. To look forward to everyday and take it with joy as it comes. As a young woman bracing to take on the world and what it had to offer, she was laced with optimism and so much hope. But it had been twenty years now. Looking back, what had she done with her life? Nothing. Nothing substantial enough to conjure joy in her heart as she went about the mundane incomplexities of her life. A job with no real prospects and debts that were spiraling out of control. What could she do? Join a secret fan club of people who obsessively adored and worshipped her longtime rival, Patrick, and hope it would distract her from her impending doom? Sure, she could take the chance to see what all the fuss was about. But it would come at a cost. Soon, Janay is thrust into a world that lacks randomness and disorder. Almost like a flip switch, her life is suddenly halted as she is taken deeper into Patrick’s world. She comes to a crossroads, and needs to make a choice. Is order what she really desires, or is it Patrick that threatens everything she used to know?

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
