A top beauty influencer transmigrates into a village beauty in the 1980s who’s just been jilted. She uses makeup to change her destiny, building a hundred-billion-yuan empire from a starting capital of three yuan and fifty cents, and even turns a cool scientist into a devoted husband along the way.
Su Tang never imagined she’d begin her new life in such a miserable state...
She climbed out of the river soaking wet, with only three yuan and fifty cents in her pocket, while the whole village spread rumors that she was a “loose woman.”
As a top beauty influencer in 2026 with thirty million followers across the internet, she looked at the impoverished land of 1983 and could only curse, “Heavens, are you messing with me?”
But after cursing, she smiled.
In the 1980s, reform and opening up had only just begun. Private businesses were still branded a “capitalist tail,” and the beauty industry was an untapped market.
What others saw as a desperate situation, she saw as a blue ocean, a boom, and an era that belonged to her.
She used soot from the bottom of a cooking pot to create a “sickly beauty” look, humiliating the scumbag and his mistress in public.
She made rouge from balsam flowers and earned her first pot of gold at the market.
Using modern business strategies, she took her Tang’s stall into the county department store, then fought her way into the provincial capital, Hong Kong, and the rest of the world.
Then a man named Zhou Yanzhi appeared.
A scientist who had returned from studying in the United States, he was branded one of the “Five Black Categories” and sent to the countryside because of his family background. He lived in a cowshed, yet concealed astonishing talent and even deeper secrets.
From testing each other’s intentions to entrusting one another with their lives, from their first meeting by the river to a shocking turn at their wedding...
When Tanghua became a shining light of Chinese brands, when the door through time opened once more, when the modern world and the future intertwined in a mystery,
Su Tang finally understood that she hadn’t transmigrated into an era, but into her destiny.
And destiny’s greatest gift was meeting, at just the right age, the person you most wanted to spend your life with.
