The handsome man narrowed his eyes. "Do you want a peaceful divorce? Fat chance!" Since a peaceful divorce was impossible, she'd have to change the storyline. At first, she thought this was going to be a difficult journey with many obstacles. However, it turned out to be a smooth ride, and she unexpectedly became pampered by everyone around her. People were born kind. The supposed villain, who didn't experience all those terrible things in the novel, could actually have a positive outlook in life.

Meanwhile, I also managed to conquer a man who only wanted to take revenge on me from the very beginning," the female lead said. "I'm all about scheming and strategies. Anyone who messes with me will die, and anyone who bullies me will also die. As for the woman who both messed with me and bullied me, I'll punish her by making her stay with me for the rest of our lives," the male lead said.

Ye Muyu, an elite of a modern company, got married and had children directly after transmigrating. She became a talented scholar and the mother of two children, and she also found out that she had a husband who hated her very much. Not only that but there was also a reincarnated female supporting character, Tang Rou, who coveted her position. "Your position is mine, and I will be his rightful wife," Tang Rou uttered. Ye Muyu looked at the man in front of her who had a solemn expression on his face. She nodded calmly. "Sure." The man instantly became defensive. "You're my wife. Don't even think about leaving me behind. Other people will have to get lost." Her son wrapped his arms around her thigh. "Go away. My mother is a good person. If you bully her, I'll bite you to death." Her daughter grabbed her arm. "You're a bad person. My mother is the best in the world. If you say anything bad about her, I'll report you to the police." Tang Rou looked at the Ye family, who all seemed happy and content, and she secretly clenched her jaws. "This shouldn't have happened. Everything's changed!"

As the genuine daughter among the true and false daughters of the story, Wei Ruo neither wanted to fall in love with the male protagonist, nor compete for favour with the female protagonist. She was singularly focused on making money, making money, making money! While the false daughter was still worried about Wei Ruo's return affecting her status, Wei Ruo had already silently amassed a small fortune. While the false daughter was still trying to attract the attention of the male protagonist, Wei Ruo was already a wealthy businesswoman.

Later on, her brother became the Prime Minister, her father became the General, and the one sitting on the throne was her husband.

No, she begged, please don't let this be time-travel. I don't do that!

Her father sternly warned that if her husband's family didn't come to get her within three days, he would go to them instead. Liuliu trembled at the threat.

Now, he was not only there to pick her up, but also to gamble! "Fifth brother, these books are for you!" Liuliu handed over several books borrowed from the Academy to the bookworm fifth brother as she was passing by to gamble. She got them by climbing the wall and had even borrowed some books. The books, of course, couldn't say no. Her younger sister was being bullied by her husband's family. Liuliu, along with her playboy fourth brother and bookworm fifth brother, went to help her. It was then that Liuliu realized they had encountered a jerk who beat her sister's husband to a pulp, and official divorce papers were handed over.
