The Arranged Bride of the 1970s Isn’t Running Away Anymore

(Transmigrate into a Book)

Lin Zhiyu transmigrated into the role of a cannon-fodder bride in a novel set in the 1970s. In the original story, the bride ran away on her wedding night, broke her leg, and met a tragic end. Looking at the pitch-black country road, she decisively gave up on fleeing. Instead of ruining her life, she’d put her clothing-design skills to work!

Her arranged husband, Shen Jianguo, was a skilled factory technician, cold and taciturn. He’d never expected much from marriage, but his new bride from the city not only stayed instead of running away, she even proposed they be “married in name only.”

At first, he watched her with cool indifference, but later he couldn’t help protecting her. His younger sister gave her a hard time? “She’s your sister-in-law. Get back to the countryside.” She stayed up late working on designs? He quietly fixed her drawing board and waited with warm congee.

Lin Zhiyu used her modern eye to redesign fabric patterns and led the women workers in embroidery, making Yule children’s clothes all the rage in town. When her awful relatives came demanding things, she gave as good as she got. When people tried to trip her up, she slapped them down.

From a drafty mud house to the factory’s residential compound, and from a marriage of convenience to a love that went both ways. Shen Jianguo rose from skilled technician to factory director, while she was named an Outstanding March Eighth Red-Banner Holder.

One day, he wrapped his arms around her. “I’ve changed the agreement. We’re a real married couple now.” She smiled against his chest. “Good thing I didn’t run away back then.” A sweet, loving 1970s romance, with success in both career and love~
