hoping is for the weak

Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. Qiao Xi: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing." Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for." Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.” Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." The scumbag guy and girl: "???" Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?" One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

Zhang Rongfang transmigrates back to an ancient world where cultivators exist. However, they only live longer than common folks and don't have immense power. With an extraordinary ability that turns all data into attributes, Zhang Rongfang begins his cultivation. "But I clearly heard before that some Hall Masters succeeded in transforming Core into Nascent Soul...." "Oh, that was Senior Brother Zhang from Wealth Hall. Senior Brother Zhang is proficient in Dao techniques and indeed condensed Nascent Soul, but he's not a Martial Cultivator; after condensing Nascent Soul, he got so overjoyed he accidentally stumbled and hit his forehead hard on stone steps."

Everyone mocked Miss Ye, who was found in a village and brought home, for being pretty but talentless. They waited for the Ye family to kick Ye Beisheng out. Ye Beisheng retaliated by saying, "Damn it. I'm not going to sit still and look pretty. I'll drop the act!" Hence... "The Princess of the Hacking World is my friend," a jerk said. Ye Beisheng replied, "I'm pampered by everyone in the Hacking World. I'd never be friends with a piece of trash." "I know she's jealous of me because the Queen of Perfume once gave me a compliment," a bitch said. Ye Beisheng replied, "I'm the Queen of Perfume. Who are you?" The jerk and bitch who waited for Ye Beisheng to screw up were dumbfounded. "Huh?" Rumors had it that Mr. Huo had a wife who had good looks but no other talent. Everyone wondered why a bright man like Mr. Huo would fall for a woman like that.

"You shouldn't be so self-centered. You're lucky that Mr. Mu wants to marry you. You have no right to turn him down!" Bei Shuo felt cold on the inside after hearing what her father said. Having gone missing when she was a child, Bei Shuo was found a month ago. Before she found her biological parents, she always thought she'd have a loving family. However, when she finally returned home, she realized they had adopted another girl long ago. After more than a decade, the girl had replaced her completely. Her parents, her brother, and her fiance... The Bei family never showed her any form of affection. On the contrary, they wanted her to marry Mu Ci for their own benefit after she had just returned. Everyone in the city knew that Mu Ci wouldn't live long. Besides, he had an aggressive personality. Anybody who offended him would suffer badly. Bei Shuo would probably end up dead without even knowing what caused it. Hence, when she married Mu Ci, everyone in Empire City waited for news of the horrible ending. To everyone's surprise, she actually cured him, and he even ended up pampering her! At the same time, it was revealed that Bei Shuo was actually the disciple of a miracle doctor, a top-tier hacker, a champion racer, and the founder of an international fashion brand... On top of that, wealthy tycoons, talented directors, and e-sports professionals all spoke fondly of her. "Everyone, please allow us to introduce our favorite junior!" The man who was rumored to be cold and violent pressed his head against Bei Shuo's shoulder when he found out about her countless identities. "How many more identities do you have?" he asked with a pout. Bei Shuo ran her fingers through his hair and smiled. "There's only one left, and it's the most important one. I'm still Mrs. Mu!"

"Push her! You can't let her get back up!" "That's right! You have to straighten out that heinous b*tch!" A goddess of war whose fearsome reputation enveloped East Asia was betrayed and killed. Then, she was reborn as Caroline Lambert, a vulnerable lady with a tarnished reputation in New York City! Despite being the daughter of an important family, her family heavily favored her stepsister, so the bullying and physical abuse were frequent. Her fiancé, who used to woo her fervently, stood before the public with her stepsister in his arms as he declared their engagement annulled, making her a joke amongst the rich and important. Her stepsister was also cunning enough to steal her position and take away all the affection that should have been hers, and smeared her name to the point that she was condemned by everyone! And yet, when the goddess of war reincarnated as Caroline, everything became different! Withstanding the malicious slander, she carved out a new, bloody path. Insults from her family? Attempting to steal her late mother's estate? Caroline issued papers announcing that they had cut all ties, and that her mother's estate would be donated to charity! See here, she would rather donate every coin to charity than keep them for you! They were saying that she was a piece of trash who had nothing going for her? Sorry, but she was a prodigious doctor, a mercenary, a racer, and a top hacker... Though Caroline wanted revenge for the body’s original owner, she inadvertently picked up a sickly, beautiful man. Seeing that he did not have long to live, Caroline agreed to his proposal... Only to find that like her, he was a man with multiple identities that could leave New York shaking once revealed! Caroline: Aren't you supposed to die an early death? Liar! Edwin: It's not a lie. My wife clearly pities me!
