Best friends come and go but the line of connection could never seem to be cut as the prime students of Isla Prep Academy.

Pulled into a quagmire of a Mafia battle, Mariah is faced with no choice but to battle with the affairs of the heart and family and the magnetic sexual pull towards her boyfriend's sister, Venus. Does love have to come before lust or the other way around? Will her life ever be as basic as it once was?

It was their way of life. It was how she’d been brought up. To look forward to everyday and take it with joy as it comes. As a young woman bracing to take on the world and what it had to offer, she was laced with optimism and so much hope. But it had been twenty years now. Looking back, what had she done with her life? Nothing. Nothing substantial enough to conjure joy in her heart as she went about the mundane incomplexities of her life. A job with no real prospects and debts that were spiraling out of control. What could she do? Join a secret fan club of people who obsessively adored and worshipped her longtime rival, Patrick, and hope it would distract her from her impending doom? Sure, she could take the chance to see what all the fuss was about. But it would come at a cost. Soon, Janay is thrust into a world that lacks randomness and disorder. Almost like a flip switch, her life is suddenly halted as she is taken deeper into Patrick’s world. She comes to a crossroads, and needs to make a choice. Is order what she really desires, or is it Patrick that threatens everything she used to know?

Qin Yao opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world into the body of an ancient peasant woman. Her family consists of four stepchildren needing care. A good-for-nothing husband, who has nothing but looks, is causing a ruckus. They live in a thatched hut, without a grain of rice, the family is emaciated like refugees. If that wasn't enough, someone even comes to collect debts! Anger rises in Qin Yao's heart, and she kicks the wretched husband out, "Debt collector, feel free to just beat him to death!" The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming? At this moment, the lazy husband who was sent away to die (twisting and crawling) (struggling to stand up) (screaming and roaring): My dear! I think I can be saved!

Shocking! The rough husband is the hidden master in the time-travel novel. She is the sacrificial victim for the male lead's pursuit of true love, the pitiful person who transforms grief and indignation into motivation, the obsessive person who constantly wants to slap the male lead's face with money, the lemon essence contrasting the female lead’s gentleness and generosity. Xu Qinghuan: Emma, is this talking about me? Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, into a time-travel novel written by her best friend, where her father died early, her mother remarried, and she was raised in her second uncle's home since childhood. Her cousin and fiancé are entangled? "Break off the engagement, whoever wants the central air conditioner can take it!" Her biological mother manipulates her with work? Isn't it just going to the countryside? The Great Northeast's black land is fertile, where every year you can lie on the heated kang and eat for half the year. Which corporate slave wouldn’t love it? Most importantly, there is a big shot she wants to cling to. Jiang Xingye is someone that even the male lead admires, the future global richest man, the hidden master in the book. After going to the countryside, Xu Qinghuan goes straight to Jiang Xingye. Her original plan was to be a little follower for the big shot and never thought of developing an inappropriate relationship with him. When the man gruffly raises his eyebrows and coaxingly tells her to hold on a little longer, she only wants to ask: What about being wealthy and detached? What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
