Mushoku Tensei (WN) - Volume 17

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend.Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie.Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her.The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law...And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy...But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game?excerptSince he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze.He caught her chin,“ Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?”Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up.Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck. Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths…She smiled slowly then. “Careful, Adam,” she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. “Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff.”

【Background fiction】
[abo theme, A has no pendant]
Flirting without knowing pure love alpha × gentle and kind omega
Jiang Yuchu × Xia Yirou
Summary of the emotional line: Jiang Zhi flirted with Xia in the early stage, and Xia flirted with Jiang in the later stage.
(probably longer period of ambiguity)
Business line summary: Gradually develop, but with golden fingers, the development is generally smooth.
————————————————————————
When he woke up, Jiang Yuchu was shocked to find that she had passed through
That’s fine
The level of economic development here is lagging behind, decades away from the level of economic development in the world she lived in. (The background is completely fictitious, everything serves the plot)
Not only that,
The people here are divided into six genders: male, female × alpha, omega, beta.
This is also acceptable
Who can tell her why she dresses like a scumbag
The original body has a bad personality, does not do a proper job, spends a lot of money, and abuses after drinking…
The ex-wife hates her, the daughter is afraid of her, and she was kicked out of the house by her parents (originally made by herself)
Unbearable!
Really: the beginning is the “peak”!
See how the “scumbag” reversed the market and reached the pinnacle of life, with a bumper harvest in career and love
The heroine has golden fingers and brings good luck.

Before we were together: Xiaoxia didn’t want to care about Xiaojiang
Xiaoxia: “Don’t touch me”
“leave me alone”
“I do not want”

After being together:
Xiaoxia: “Good morning kiss~”
“Good night kiss~”
“Farewell Kiss~”
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: One day in the future, will you suddenly leave me?
Jiang Yuchu: Fool~ There will be no such day. Wherever you are, I will be there.
Home is where you are
—————————————————————————————————
Xia Yirou: It’s you who made me believe that there is really love in this world.
Jiang Yuchu: Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, I will come to you
I will go against my nature, against my instincts, and love you forever – “The Selfish Gene” book review
