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

News about Jiang Yue's visit to the Ye House spread quickly through the upper class. 


Jiang Yue finally understood what had happened. Gu Fenyi's punch seemed effortless, but it left a visible wound on his face. He wondered how long he would have to suffer this embarrassment. 


Jiang Yue cared deeply about his reputation. But then again, who in their social circle didn't? 


He had to set some rules. No one could talk about what happened to him, about the Ye family, or about Gu Fenyi. 


Mentioning the Ye family would inevitably lead to questions about why Jiang Yue left there with a swollen face. This problem affected not only Jiang Yue but also the important men who dealt with him. 


The bruise on Jiang Yue's face became more noticeable. If someone looked at it long enough, it resembled a bee-stung dog. But no one dared mention it or laugh about it. 


Jiang Yue never realized his face could be so resilient, enduring such humiliation. 


After finishing his work and allowing his wound to heal slightly, Jiang Yue returned to the Jiang household. 


Jiang Jing was also recovering at home. He spent most of his time in bed, even asking servants to bring his meals there. He acted as if he might die soon. 


When Jiang Jing heard about his brother's return, he got out of bed quickly. He feared another beating if his second brother caught him lying around. 


"Second brother, have some tea," Jiang Jing said, bringing a pot from the kitchen. 


When he saw Jiang Yue face-to-face, Jiang Jing gasped, "Second brother, did someone beat you too?" 


Secretly, Jiang Jing thought to himself that he wasn't weak or spineless—Ye Wenbo's sister-in-law was simply too formidable! 


Jiang Yue knew his brother rarely spoke kindly, which probably caused the fight with Ye Wenbo in the first place. Looking at things now, Jiang Jing deserved what happened to him. 


Jiang Yue picked up the teacup with one hand. It was extremely hot. 


He put it down with a dark expression, though his face was already so dark from bruising that his anger hardly showed. 


"How did she beat you?" Jiang Yue asked coldly. 


Initially, Jiang Jing felt too embarrassed to speak about it. But since Jiang Yue had also been beaten, he felt more comfortable sharing. "She whipped me with her belt," he admitted. 


Jiang Jing's beating must have hurt more than his own. The belt would have stung terribly when pulled across his face. 


Jiang Jing didn't know what his brother was thinking. Looking at Jiang Yue's gaze, he found it difficult to be siblings. Yet somehow, his brother's bruised face made him feel a strange sense of connection. 


The more he looked at those scars, the more familiar they felt. 


Jiang Yue stopped drinking his tea. He stood up and kicked Jiang Jing's backside. "Don't cause trouble with the Ye family next time. Not everyone can handle them." 


In his mind, Jiang Jing translated this to: "Don't provoke Gu Fenyi again." He nodded rapidly, like a chicken pecking rice, promising never to dare such a thing again. Then he safely escorted Jiang Yue back to his study. 


Otherwise, he feared he might face another beating from his brother.
