Ruan Jiu Jiu transmigrated into a rebirth novel, in which the female lead in her past life had an unattainable love, a white moonlight. In the novel, the white moonlight Cheng Jun was a hollow character with a pretty face but zero accomplishments, and with his cold personality was like a frigid beauty; an empty flower vase. Meanwhile, Ruan Jiu Jiu transmigrated into Cheng Jun’s ex-wife, an evil, stuck-up, female side character.

When Ruan Jiu Jiu transmigrated over, a divorce agreement was placed on the table. Cheng Jun, wet from the rain, ate a bowl of unhealthy instant noodles. Seeing that beautiful, emotionless face, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and said that she’d wait until tomorrow to reconsider the divorce.

Later.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: Who said that he’s an idiot? Who said that he’s frigid? You’re trolling (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Actually, this is a relaxed, funny, brain dead, sweet little novel.

Able to be coaxed but can’t be forced female lead X A weak, helpless, intimidating but oblivious Big Boss.

The good news is that Linggen is still on her body now, the bad news is that she is competing with the heroine for the entry qualification of a sect, and her scumbag looks at her gloomily.

In order to survive, Yu Que decided to join an unknown sect.

The master is a gentleman, and he missed the future mistress by accident. Later, his sweetheart was designed to die tragically. He took the sword and killed the whole family, and laughed and walked away surrounded by the monks of the right way.
Yu Que put a book in front of the master in awe: “If you grab it, you will grab the heart of the mistress.”
Open the page, “Thirty Days to Make Her Crazy for You”.
Master: ?
Senior sister is as beautiful as a flower, but she met a scumbag, and she was deceived so that her body and mind were broken.
Yu Que directly led the people to the largest small clerk’s building in the city, hugged from left to right, surrounded by fat and thin, and said in a loud voice, “Men are virtuous and virtuous, crooked Rui Goode!”
Sister: ? ?
The second senior brother is half-human and demon. He was discriminated against when he was a child. When he became an adult, he was overwhelmed with love and righteousness.
Yu Que shook his head: “The structure is small, what’s the point of ruling only one demon clan? Of course all adults need it! From now on, won’t the human clan and the demon clan be family-friendly!”
Second Senior Brother: ? ? ?
The little brother has a demon embryo, a natural bad seed, and his intelligence is close to a demon, and his strength is unpredictable.
Yu Que slapped a copy of Advanced Mathematics in front of him and sneered, “Oh, no challenge.”
Junior Brother: ? ? ? ?
Yu Que thought that what he was taking was a redemption script and that he was thinking of saving the world.
Later, the classmates who had been reborn long ago looked at the new junior junior sister who was blind and infertile, and gave this evaluation: poisonous.
Later, her scum father wanted to arrest her and go back to change her spiritual roots. She was pulled thousands of miles away by the most difficult little brother, and turned his head, the little brother smiled and said: “Little sister, your class is not finished Oh.”
