Li Yao, a retired assassin, woke up one day to find herself transmigrated to ancient times and became a famous shrew far and wide.

With hands on her hips, she wailed loudly. Villagers called her the bane of ghosts, and even dogs would circle around when they saw her.

She had four children, her husband had passed away, and it was a disastrous year, leaving them poor as church mice.

Fortunately, River Bay Village was nestled against a big mountain, with wild chickens, wild boars, wolves, tigers, herbs, spices, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes… it seemed to have everything.

Rely on the water to eat, and rely on the mountain.

With her skills that exceeded the times, Yao Li quickly became the wealthiest person in River Bay Village.

She was determined to stick to her original aspirations – retire and live out her remaining years in peace.

But as a widow, there were many things at her doorstep.

Her maiden family coveted her wealth; local ruffians lusted after her beauty; the magistrate admired her talents; the prefect wanted to rely on her to build up his political achievements; the scholar admired her literary talent; the chancellor respected her breadth of knowledge…

Wave after wave, wearing down her doorstep.

Even a Prince was amazed by her, finding all kinds of excuses to frequently visit and neglect his palaces.

Li Yao adapted to the circumstances, sparring back and forth, just wishing her retirement life would remain undisturbed.

But unknowingly, the world was changing because of her.

Feng slowly backed up to the door, “W—what’s up with you both?” Two tall blond men stalked closer and caged her in the corner, “Aiden, Ethan, you both are too—too close,”

Once dressed as one of the old female protagonists in “The Pampered Crying Bag Omega”, the famous scumbag A, Shi Ning is very calm.
Even when the hotel room door was accidentally pushed open by the hostess Su Wanxing, she was very stable.
But this guy… seems to be the heroine’s sister Su Fillxue.
The only straight female A in the original book.
Shi Ning thought about it, who knew that Su Fenxue could say in a cold tone with red eyes: “You are so good at being an A? Why don’t we change positions?”
…Damn, who are you looking down on?
She only wanted to tease this pure and cold iceberg beauty, but how could this guy break all her principles and stick to her heart? !

People who knew Shi Ning thought that she would wander the flowers and never give up. Until one day, Shi Ning and his new wife entered a love drama produced by her company.
Watching her wash her hands and make soup every day, surrounded by Su Fillxue’s wife all day long, his wife is short…
Friend: Help, is this still the scumbag Shi Ning?
Netizen: KSWLKSWL, double A is fragrant!
