New book “After the Evil Mother-in-law Reincarnated, the Whole Family's Plot Collapsed”, presents an exciting storyline with “mind-reading” + “control group” + “domineering CEO” + “ultimate face slap”~………………………………Companion piece: “God's Daily Life of Spoiling His Wife 2”, welcome to join~The entertainment circle exploded, comparable to a level 12 earthquake.What?! The god of the entertainment circle, Jiang Nuo, who won the Best Actor award at only 25 years old, proclaimed in the latest variety show: “I finally managed to reach 22, and the first thing I did was to get the marriage certificate.”The host was completely dumbfounded: “......” Wasn't there a rumor that he was against marriage......?“Do you know why?”“Why?”“Because she is older than me, I was afraid she would run off with another man.”The first thing the certain male god did after dropping this bombshell was to hurry home to hug his wife, carefully and flatteringly saying: “Um, I accidentally revealed that you're my wife on the show today. We might not be able to divorce for now. How about we wait for a bit longer?”Wife: “......” Are you sure it wasn't on purpose?

In a certain world, there was someone who excelled in magic combat, people called him 『Sage』. Seeking the strongest combat art, he devoted himself to research every magic and combat arts in existence. And the conclusion he arrived at was very cruel, 『My body is not fit for magic combat』. Yet he didn’t give up. He sealed his own soul with a magic art, and was reborn in a far-off future. And the magic theory in the completely changed world he saw there was of unbelievably low level.

To care for her ailing sweetheart, college student Lu Chenchen gave up her white-collar office job and chose the higher-paying caretaker profession instead. Going around in circles, she ended up at the Mao family’s home.

The Mao family background was complicated. Old Madam Mao was not her son Yanning’s birth mom, but his young aunt. His wife was Old Madam Mao’s first love’s daughter, spoiled and pampered. Despite over ten years of marriage, husband and wife were distant.

To repay Old Madam Mao’s kindness in raising him, and for the sake of his three children, Mao Yanning endured again and again – not just a loveless but outright destructive marriage.

Lu Chenchen walked on eggshells among these people – carefully serving young and old, currying favor with the lady of the house without offending the man of the house, while also worrying about his sweetheart’s illness and missing “his” elders and children back home. Her heart was like a cookie flattened between the pages of life, living a difficult and cautious existence.

However, as the saying goes, “You reap what you sow.” A life that has been polished will eventually shine with a brilliance that ordinary years cannot compare.
