PhD Turned Marquis's Matriarch: Outsmarting the Evil Mother-in-Law

Lin Wan, a 28-year-old paleontology PhD, accidentally travels back in time while burning the midnight oil on her thesis—only to become Shen Zhaoning, the "doormat" matriarch of the Marquis Gu household. The original Shen was so meek that she was bullied by her evil mother-in-law Zhao Shi and even her husband's concubines. Worse still, Lin discovers she can only return to the modern world by resolving the original Shen's "unfinished grievances"! So she transforms into a "high-IQ strategist": when Zhao Shi forces her to kneel in the ancestral hall, she retorts with "leaking roofs harm the ancestors' blessings"; when a concubine frames her for pushing someone into the lake, she uses "mud moisture on shoe prints" to expose the lie; she even helps the Marquis household solve a major grain merchant debt problem. Just as she thinks she's close to going home, Gu Zhaoheng, the Marquis's son who's been missing for three years, suddenly returns—and he's fascinated by this "changed" wife... Caught between her urgent quest to go home and the son's deep affection, what will Lin Wan choose?

Check with My In-Laws First If You Want a Divorce

Su Wan transmigrated into a clichéd CEO novel as the wife about to be dumped by her scumbag husband Gu Jingshen for "infertility." To her surprise, her previously cold in-laws suddenly turned into "daughter-in-law protectors"—her mother-in-law dug up Gu Jingshen's cheating evidence, her father-in-law froze his bank card, and even declared, "If you want a divorce, you have to get past us first." Su Wan, no longer tolerating abuse, exposed the conspiracy of the scumbag and his mistress, and restarted her career with her original design talent. When Gu Jingshen finally realized he was in love with her, Su Wan held her in-laws' hands and smiled, "I don't plan to divorce yet—after all, I have more important people to protect."

Overnight, he went from penniless to the city’s most talked-about “rare treasure merchant.” But before he could celebrate, the auction house’s cunning owner showed up, grinning: “Those ‘heavenly artifacts’? They’re the ‘former dynasty relics’ the crown prince is searching for—you, kid, walked right into the royal game.”
