A Beautiful, Fiery Wife in the 1970s

[Period setting + devoted couple + transmigration into a book]

Psychology expert Xie Qinghe transmigrates into a period novel as a fussy supporting character who's been dealt a terrible hand.

Faced with one difficult character after another, Xie Qinghe smiles. “Trying to use PUA on me? Get ready to be outclassed by a professional.”

With a little “scientific persuasion,” she gets all the difficult people to behave, and even starts a thriving counseling service in the military housing compound.

Yu Jingcheng, the famously iron-fisted “Underworld King,” is ordered to investigate this “unusual individual,” whose methods are unlike anything he's seen before.

He watches her make the tantrum-throwers cry and the bullies fall in line. After agonizing over his report for three days, he finally writes:

“Comrade Xie Qinghe may have some problems with her thinking... but her methods are extremely effective. I recommend recruiting her.”
