Black and White

Gu Fenyi wakes up one day to find she's inside a novel—not as the main character, but as the soon-to-be divorced wife who is supposed to die young.

In her past life, she came from a strong military family and led the powerful Sheng clan, earning respect from over 400 members. Now, looking at her husband's four younger siblings in this modern world, she can't help but shake her head.

"Back in my time, men from the Sheng family fought in battles, rose in the army, and held power at court," she thinks. "How did these boys turn out so... useless?"

With her husband always away, divorce seems inevitable. But first, she has a more important job: turning these lazy siblings into real person.

Months later, her husband Ye Wen finally comes home after winning a big award. He's shocked by what he finds.

His brother
Ye Weijia, now a successful actor, says: "The person I'm most thankful for—and love most—is my sister-in-law."

Ye Wenshu, now a top student and celebrity, adds: "I'm most grateful to my sister-in-law, and she's also who I love most."

Ye Wenhong, proudly wearing his gold medal won for the country, declares: "I respect and thank my sister-in-law more than anyone."

Ye Wenbo, holding his graduation certificate, says: "I owe everything to my sister-in-law."

Even a former enemy publicly states: "The woman I admire most is Miss Gu Fenyi."
Everyone is confused: "???"

Ye Wen panics: "Is my wife cheating on me?"

Only then does he realize the truth—the woman he once found annoying has become amazing, loved and respected by everyone. And they're all just waiting for him to sign the divorce papers.

Will Gu Fenyi follow her "fate" as the discarded wife, or will she use her military smarts to create a different ending? One thing's clear—her arrival has completely changed the original story.

Accidentally His Heiress

Gu Fenyi lost interest and didn't watch the colorful character anymore. She stood up and walked toward the dining room. The servants had already prepared lunch. Gu Fenyi looked around, noticing they had included vegetable salads and fresh fruits alongside the main course. 


"Science and technology," as people called it, allowed people of this era to enjoy fresh and varied fruits. 


Gu Fenyi particularly liked this aspect of modern life. 


Ye Wenbo watched as Gu Fenyi finished breakfast, ate lunch, read half a book, and watched a TV show. She didn't seem concerned about Jiang Er's visit at all. 


"This tastes delicious," Gu Fenyi suddenly raised her head and pointed to the plate of strawberries in front of her. 


The maid quickly asked, "Should I wash another plate for the madam?" 


At that moment, Jiang Er arrived at the door. 


Jiang Er's real name was Jiang Yue. He ranked second in the Jiang family. As a child, people called him "Jiang Er" to tease him. Now, this nickname had become a symbol that commanded respect. 


He entered with his secretary but left his bodyguards outside. 


"Mrs. Ye," Jiang Yue said politely as he entered, looking at the woman sitting on the sofa. 


Ye Wenbo, usually wild and unruly, sat upright now, appearing almost... well-behaved? 


The young woman in the white dress looked graceful, holding a book with one hand while the other paused in midair. Looking closely, one could see water droplets on her fingertips. 


The maid brought a plate of strawberries and respectfully placed it before Gu Fenyi. 


Jiang Yue glanced at the strawberries, then at Gu Fenyi's face. 


Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her eyes like cold stars. Her features, drawn with light ink strokes, embodied classical Chinese beauty. Combined with her indifferent expression, they created a unique, sharp beauty. 


"Was Ye Wen's wife always this pretty?" he wondered. 


Jiang Yue noticed her lips had a hint of strawberry juice, making them look red, crystal clear, and soft. 


Jiang Yue unconsciously clenched his fingers, then stepped forward with a smile. "Is Mrs. Ye enjoying afternoon tea?" 


After speaking, Jiang Yue remembered he hadn't intended to smile at Gu Fenyi when he arrived. 


"Yes," Gu Fenyi answered. "Unfortunately, we didn't prepare any for Mr. Jiang." 


She bent forward to reach for a tissue on the table. 


The movement elongated her figure, creating a beautiful arc from her neck to her back. Her black hair slipped to one side, revealing her pale neck. 


Jiang Yue instinctively moved to get the tissue for her. 


But Ye Wenbo reacted faster, being closer to Gu Fenyi. Before Jiang Yue could act, Ye Wenbo had already handed the tissue to Gu Fenyi. 


She took it and smoothly wiped the moisture from her fingertips. 


Jiang Yue suddenly realized Gu Fenyi didn't fear him. 


Not only did she show no fear, but she seemed relaxed—even eating strawberries without preparing for his visit.
