Transmigrated into a 1970s Village Girl! My Devoted Husband Spoils Me to Tears

Li Yueru is a 21st-century office drone in social media, meek and obsequious in front of her boss but a powerhouse behind his back.

One morning, she wakes up as a village girl from the late 1970s who followed her educated-youth husband back to the city. The original owner cried, threw tantrums, and threatened to hang herself in the residential compound, then cracked her head and managed to get herself killed.

Faced with a courtyard full of vile neighbors eager to watch her make a fool of herself and take advantage of her, Li Yueru sees the light: “Take one step back and you get breast hyperplasia; put up with things for a moment and you get ovarian cysts! If everyone says I'm a shrew, then I'm done pretending!”

A nasty neighbor spreads rumors? Li Yueru hits back with an accusation of “criminal defamation” and forces them to write a public self-criticism.

Greedy relatives demand money? Li Yueru grabs a broom and lets them have it, sticking to one principle: “As long as I have no manners, no one can guilt-trip me into doing anything.”

It feels great to put people in their place, but when she looks at her honest, mild-mannered librarian husband, Chen Siqi, and their grain coupons that leave their pockets emptier than their faces, Li Yueru slaps her thigh. “We've got to make money so we can eat meat!”

Drawing on the sharp instincts she developed as a social media creator in her previous life, Li Yueru picks up her pen.

Write stories of suffering? No, she goes straight for “unhinged prose” and “feel-good fiction tropes”!

When a traditional literati writer attacks her as vulgar in the newspapers, she puts on a secret identity and uses airtight logic to crush him in a battle of words on the page. She turns their feud into a “literary debate” that captures the nation's attention, and her writing fees increase tenfold!

Later, the residents of the compound are horrified to discover that the country bumpkin they looked down on has not only moved into a mansion and started a company, but has also turned the once meek Chen Siqi into the man behind a billionaire!
