Zhou Xinyan transmigrates into a book.
She becomes the cannon-fodder supporting heroine in a sweet military romance, the girl who throws tantrums and threatens to starve herself just to break off her engagement to a commander’s son, then clings desperately to a man with a first love, only to die tragically three years after they marry.
When she transmigrates: the second day of her hunger strike.
Rubbing her growling stomach, Zhou Xinyan thinks: Break off the engagement? What engagement? A man like Gu Tingxiao, handsome, talented, and born into a good family, would be a fool to pass up.
She marches off, ready to cling to her golden opportunity, only to discover that the Gu family is determined to break off the engagement.
“So I can’t just grab a powerful man’s coattails whenever I want!” She looks at Gu Tingxiao’s cold face and laughs.
Fine. If he doesn’t want me, I’ll grow wings of my own.
After the engagement is called off, she starts pursuing him: bringing him breakfast, giving him scarves, waiting outside his door, and confessing her feelings. All she gets in return is, “Please don’t go out of your way for me again.”
Zhou Xinyan throws the scarf onto the roadside and throws herself into business!
As for Gu Tingxiao...
At first, he’s relieved that “that annoying girl has finally stopped bothering me.” Later, though, he realizes that mornings without her breakfast feel like something is missing, and the running track where he used to bump into her seems a little too long.
By the time he wants to turn back, Zhou Xinyan is already busy counting money and has no time for him.
From cannon-fodder supporting heroine to business mogul, from being taken for granted to being out of reach.
Zhou Xinyan proves with her own success that a sharp mind is better than a powerful man. Depending on a man is as reliable as expecting a sow to climb a tree. Once she becomes a money-making machine, her admirers will line up all the way from the army compound to Tiananmen Square.
[Lighthearted daily life + sweet military romance + she pursues him, then he pursues her + rags-to-riches business success + he realizes what he had only after losing her]
Who would’ve thought? The girl you once insisted on marrying is now way out of your league.

A conscientious piece of writing! The career line is realistic and there is no cheating entrepreneurship. The male protagonist pursues a sense of proportion, the female protagonist is rational and clear-headed, and the business and emotional aspects run parallel. It is highly recommended. 👍👍👍
