The Beautiful Big Sister Was Reborn in the 1980s

(The next book, Becoming a Stepmother in the 1950s After Transmigrating, is now available. The blurb is below. Please add it to your reading list!)

Ye Xin is the prettiest girl in Qingshan Village. Her mother dotes on her, her brothers protect her, and she has a crush on Jiang Zhong, an educated youth sent to the countryside.

On the day she confesses to Jiang Zhong, a crazed old ox charges toward her. Ye Xin suddenly awakens to the plot and realizes she's inside a period novel. In the story, Jiang Zhong could save her, but he will stand by and let her die.

Ye Xin closes her eyes, thinking she might as well let the ox knock her flying and wreck the plot. But the next second, Jiang Zhong sweeps her up and dodges the charging bull. He says he's transmigrated here from ancient times, and calls her "Master"!

Ye Xin is glad she didn't confess to the transmigrated Jiang Zhong. She only sees the ancient boy as a younger brother and has no romantic feelings for him at all.

Jiang Zhong transmigrated from ancient times. The first person he saw was his benefactor, who had saved his life, so he instinctively addressed her as his master. Later, he got used to his new surroundings and learned that everyone here was equal. But some logic never changed: the more capable and successful a man was, the better his chances of winning a partner's hand.

But Ye Xin only saw him as a younger brother. Whenever he earned a merit, won an award, or made money, she would praise him with a "You're amazing," and then that was that.

Jiang Zhong was injured while earning a merit, and Ye Xin cared for him around the clock. As soon as he recovered, she was about to leave again. Jiang Zhong hurriedly hooked his finger around hers and worked up the courage to say, "Ye Xin, I don't want to be just your little brother."

Having awakened to the entire plot, Ye Xin refuses to follow it and returns to the city to become self-employed. Making money is a joy. Her only headache is Jiang Zhong, who keeps turning up wherever she is.

Remembering that Jiang Zhong saved her life, Ye Xin is very patient with him. She teaches him how to handle things and get by, and even how to use his strengths to earn merit.

Jiang Zhong respects her a lot. There's just one thing she dislikes: he keeps ruining her matchmaking dates.

Someone introduces Ye Xin to a potential match, and Jiang Zhong shows up during their date again. Ye Xin has no choice but to introduce him: "This is my little brother."

Jiang Zhong gives a cold smile. "The man who believed you last time is still in a hospital bed. My partner runs off to matchmaking events every time we argue. Sorry you had to see that."

Blurb for Becoming a Stepmother in the 1950s After Transmigrating:

Jiang Yu, a model young person of the twenty-first century, died suddenly. Her awful boss still hadn't paid her year-end bonus.

Jiang Yu appeared in her boss's dreams to scare him into donating that bonus to the orphaned children in the preschool class she taught.

Maybe Heaven thought she hadn't done much harm in her twenty-five years, and that even as she died, she was thinking of donating her unspent money to orphans. So it let her transmigrate to the 1950s, where she became the stepmother of three children.

Jiang Yu had worked with lots of kids as a kindergarten teacher. Now she could treat being a stepmother to three children like a job with a monthly salary. Why not give it a try?

Mu Chengfeng left the field hospital and returned to the hospital at his military post. Seeing that his three children had been raised by their stepmother to be skinny as bamboo, he was worried sick.

His family introduced him to a potential bride, an eighteen-year-old girl who said she was good with children. She asked him to pay her monthly and treat her like a kindergarten teacher hired to look after the kids. That sounded reasonable enough, so he decided to give it a try.
