The 1970s Scheming Beauty Has the Stoic Officer Wrapped Around Her Little Finger

[Period setting + scheming beauty + adored by everyone + pocket dimension + self-interest + satisfying read]

Shen Qingyao transmigrates and finds herself in a remote mountain village in the 1970s.

The original owner of her body was a pitiful girl of stunning beauty whom everyone bullied.

Her parents died young, her uncle and aunt seized the family property, and her jealous cousin pushed her into a river. Now they’re trying to sell her to a forty-year-old widower for the bride price.

Too bad there’s a new person in the driver’s seat now.

Shen Qingyao, a business queen in her previous life, has one thing to say: “You think you can bully me? You’re not worthy.”

The ancient jade bangle on her wrist hides a world of its own, complete with a spiritual spring and fertile land where crops flourish and chickens multiply.

In public, she’s a gentle, considerate barefoot doctor, a kindhearted beauty everyone adores.

Behind the scenes, she carefully makes plans, builds connections, and gathers strength.

She smiles as she sends the cousin who pushed her into the river straight into a living hell. Her uncle and aunt, who stole the family property, kneel and beg her forgiveness, clutching their ill-gotten goods. The lechers who try to take advantage of her all end up wishing they were dead.

When the national college entrance exams are reinstated, she tops the county. When China opens up to reform, she becomes a business trailblazer.

From an orphan in a poor mountain village, she rises to become a legendary businesswoman.

Everyone thinks she’s a gentle, kindhearted darling.

Only one tough-as-nails military officer knows the truth:

This woman’s heart is three parts colder than a viper’s, and three parts sweeter than honey.

And he fell for her precisely because of those three parts cold and three parts sweet.
