Fish out of water [not BL]

“It’s Duke Raymond, oh my god he looks so handsome in white!!” a lady exclaimed. Just hearing this warning bell Eloise, peered to the right. A beautiful man dressed completely in white tux walked confidently into the ballroom. His black eyes wandered amongst the crowd, searching for a certain someone. {‘Why is he here!!’} Eloise bit her lips anxiously. {‘Either way, lets run before he catches me,’} she pulled up her fluffy ruffle skirt to her knees and ran like the wind. All of a sudden she felt her skirt being pulled from behind. “How audacious of you to pull a lady’s skirt,” she shouted and pulled without taking a glance back. “My, my, I think I stepped on a cockroach, what shall I do? Shall I roast it for tainting my shoes or should I chop its head off,” a hoarse voice jokingly said from behind. {‘Shit, I’m dead,’} she glanced back in slow motion. “This..... My lord, can you let go of my skirt,” she pointed to his foot that was firmly stepping on the bottom of her skirt. “Why not, I am just expressing my emotions to the lady who expressed ardent feeling to me in her letters,” he said with a smug smirk. The crowd gasped. “She wrote him a love letter!! That shameless wrench,” some lady shouted out loud. Hearing this, Eloise’s eyelid twitched, “sir... no, Lord, I think you misunderstood. I was only expressing my heartfelt gratitude with my ‘thank you’ letter,” she enunciated each word. The duke chuckled. “Oh is that so,” he strode closer having a tight grip on her skirt, “are the words bat-shit-bastard, ring a bell. I read it in your letter,” Eloise gritted her teeth, {‘so you plan to use my word against me, huh? We’ll see who wins,’} she stepped to his side, showing her back to the entire crowd. “MY LORD! Where are you touching me?!” Suddenly she shouted, gasping her bosom. “How audacious of you. I RESPECTED YOU SIR!! How could you do this,” she screamed and ran away while he was frozen in shock. The entire ball room was in disarray. “Lord Raymond is a pervert!!”

Rebirth Era:The Sick Beauty Stepmother Just Wants to Be a Salted Fish.

Jiang Li woke up in the body of the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, who had been raised in the small village of Aoli. The original owner of her body, also named Jiang Li, had experienced a series of unfortunate events. First, she was abandoned by her fiancé, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she married a divorced man and became a stepmother. To make matters worse, her role as a stepmother was constantly compared to another in her community. She was the epitome of an unfortunate side character in a story. For this new Jiang Li, however, none of these circumstances were a problem. She learned that her husband, a divorced man, was a talented and accomplished scientist who had returned from abroad. He was dedicated to his work, earned a substantial income, and often had to travel for business. In those difficult times when basic necessities were scarce, marrying him seemed like a blessing to Jiang Li, who longed for a simple and peaceful life. Jiang Li's mother was confused and convinced that her daughter had lost her mind. Her brothers and their families shared similar concerns, believing that their sister had gone mad. Aside from the family patriarch, Captain Jiang, everyone else in the family was worried about Jiang Li's well-being. They feared that their delicate and cherished Jiang Li might struggle with the responsibilities of being a stepmother, and that the pressure might take a toll on her fragile health. The villagers, well aware of the Jiang family's situation, gathered to gossip and spread rumors, especially those with malicious intentions. They eagerly awaited any sign of unrest or the family's downfall. But contrary to their expectations, Jiang Li flourished in her married life. She was adored by her husband and cherished by her stepchildren, who affectionately called her "Mom". The elders in the family followed her every move as if she were the center of their attention. A perplexed System mused, "I thought the host I was bound to would be mediocre, but she turned out to be a champion." Author: Warm Heart Moon (暖心月) NB: This is a translation!!!
