On the day of receiving the marriage certificate, Nora Northwood broke up with her boyfriend and, for the sake of the dowry of 188,000 dollars her stepfather and mother demanded, she impulsively married a stranger. She viewed the dowry money as a loan, working hard after marriage to pay off the debt, hoping to divorce as soon as it was cleared. However, her husband, who initially despised her, suddenly began to subtly flirt with her. She tried hard to stay indifferent but was pinned down on the bed by him when he was drunk. "Wife, aren't my abs sexy? Don’t you want to touch them?" She really did want to touch, but if she did, could she still get a divorce? How could someone like Lily, just a humble aromatherapist, be suitable for a billionaire husband?

That day, the breath of the great whale dispersed the fog, and a new era arrived. Chen Qi accidentally transmigrated into the steampunk-apocalyptic game world of 'New Sun,' starting with the monstrous talent "Deep Sea Affinity," where ancient deep-sea creatures saw him as one of their own. Although he possessed the talents of a monster, as a transmigrator, he still maintained the original intentions of humanity, striving to level up with the firm resolve to become a world-renowned Monster Hunter. Finally, after his relentless efforts, the popular Dove Times sharply commented: "From the ancient deep sea, a scoundrel with evil bloodlines who threatens witches with tentacles, the arrogant lone Emperor of the Fifth, who aims to conquer the Witch Sea!" False news, blatant false news! Even though he grew tentacles, threatened witches, raised sea dragons, collected tolls, and sang the death chorus with sea monsters. He was truly not of any Deep Sea Ancient God's bloodline but a dedicated and responsible Hunter. Chen Qi cut down the fleet before him and earnestly clarified.

"I've destroyed your face. Let's see how you'll seduce men now!" "I want to pluck all your hair too. Let's see how you'll seduce other married men!" The woman screamed while she cut off Mei Shu's hair. She then directly stabbed the scissors into her head and put an end to her pitiful life. Mei Shu had already been bedridden for over ten years. Her face was practically unrecognizable. Her four younger brothers were either injured, crippled, sick, or barely alive. This was all thanks to the woman next to her bed. Many years ago, Mei Shu's mother died in a car accident. Not long after that, her stepmother moved in with her stepsister, Mei Mu. Mei Shu's stepmother found a way to send Mei Shu to the countryside. After that, Mei Shu's stepmother and stepsister slowly took over all the Mei family's possessions. When Mei Shu was about to turn eighteen, they brought her home. The only reason they did that was to acquire the inheritance her mother left behind. After that, they kept plotting and scheming against her. They sowed discord between Mei Shu and her four younger brothers. Until the day Mei Shu died in the hospital, her brothers still had no idea she wasn't the one who started the fire that ruined their lives. After dying, Mei Shu refused to move on. She reincarnated to the time she was seventeen with her own system. She wanted to change her fate and rescue her brothers! In their previous lifetime, she and her brothers treated each other like enemies. In this lifetime... "Mei Shu, I'll do anything you tell me to," her first brother said. "Who dares to bully my sister?" Her second brother asked. "Mei Shu belongs to me!" Her third brother exclaimed. "Do you wish to marry my sister? Let's see if you have what it takes!" Her fourth brother uttered. [System: Quest completed! You'll be rewarded with a husband!"

Bai Weixi: "Thank you, being liked by you is an honor for me, but I don't want to be in a relationship right now." Li Yuan promptly took back the gift he had presented: "Then give me back the gift I gave you." Bai Weixi, with her beautiful eyes wide, looked at him in disbelief: "Li Yuan, what do you mean?" "You've already rejected me, yet you still want to keep my gift?" "But we are good friends!" "Heh, like I'm short of good friends? What I'm short of is a girlfriend, you get it?" Watching Bai Weixi, disheveled in the wind, Li Yuan turned to ask: "By the way, could you give me your best friend's phone number?" Bai Weixi fumed with anger: "Li Yuan, what are you trying to do?" Li Yuan just shrugged nonchalantly: "Nothing much, she's prettier than you, I've decided to pursue her instead."
