[Charming Beauty vs. Aloof Educated Youth]
[1970s + Transmigrate into a Book + Sweet Romance and Face-Slapping + Building Wealth]
Shen Qingqing woke from a nap to find herself in a novel set in the 1970s, as the pretty but doomed cannon-fodder supporting character.
In the original story, her stepsister and the scumbag were happily in love, waiting to laugh at her when her engagement was broken off.
Shen Qingqing couldn't be bothered with them. Instead, she turned her attention to Lu Wenzhou, the aloof educated youth.
The man was cold and celibate, keeping women at arm's length. He was the celebrated unattainable beauty of Red Flag Brigade.
Shen Qingqing refused to believe it.
Today she brought him eggs, tomorrow she brought him sweet soup, and the day after that she fell right into his arms.
Lu Wenzhou pushed her away with a cold expression. "Don't fool around."
Shen Qingqing looked aggrieved. "Educated Youth Lu, I'm hurt."
While flirting with him, she also got a little business going on the side.
She sold food and plied her crafts, steadily building up her ration and fabric coupons as her life visibly improved.
Shen Qingqing always thought Lu Wenzhou was unmoved by her.
Until one day, she spoke a little too long with another male educated youth.
That very night, the man climbed over the wall and cornered her beneath her window. He pinned her behind the door, his voice hoarse. "Shen Qingqing, you flirt with me and then run away?"
