When Zhou Yuru opened her eyes, she was back in 1988, before she was framed and betrayed.

There was still time to change everything.

She cleverly switched the evidence, refused the engagement, decisively sent the scumbag to jail, and ruined her fake best friend's reputation.

Given a second chance at life, Zhou Yuru seized the golden business opportunities of the 1980s. She taught herself five foreign languages, turned a small-time venture into a big business, and came to own the world's largest small commodities market.

Hong Kong businessman Luo Jiamin was the most unexpected gift of Zhou Yuru's life.

A gorgeous woman who loves to lie flat VS a handsome, abstinent engineer

Xu Yan woke up to find herself a cannon-fodder supporting actress in a period novel.

In the original story, the woman she had become was greedy for wealth and status. She dumped the impoverished engineer, the male lead, and married the supply-and-marketing cooperative director's son, a man who talked big but never followed through. During the three difficult years, she starved until she was skin and bones, while her husband used ration coupons to woo the heroine, who in turn supported the destitute male lead. In the end, he rose to become an industrial tycoon, while the original woman was left homeless, a wicked supporting character whose only purpose was to make the heroine look kind.

Xu Yan stared thoughtfully at the “Quick-Buy System.”

[System] The Host can unlock goods from different eras by completing “stockpiling missions.” Instant purchases across eras are supported!

Xu Yan: Got it. Make money, stock up on supplies, then lie flat!

The day Wu Jingze, the male lead, came to break off their engagement, she was squatting in the courtyard, munching on the spicy strips she'd received as a System reward.

“Comrade Xu, I know you look down on a poor techie like me. I heard you want to end our engagement...” The man looked calm as he prepared himself for the humiliation.

Xu Yan sprang to her feet. “End it? No way! Let's get married right now!”

Wu Jingze: ?

Later...

When industrial alcohol was nowhere to be found in the whole city, Xu Yan hauled ten barrels out of the System's warehouse.

When a construction site ran short on rebar, Xu Yan “just happened” to know someone with connections.

Watching their courtyard turn into a supply depot, Wu Jingze silently took out a little notebook: Record of My Wife's Daily Miraculous Antics...

Then one day, Xu Yan bought a little electric scooter through the System and rode it to the construction site to bring him lunch.

Wu Jingze finally lost it. He cornered her in a shack, pinning her against the wall. “Xu Yan, who are you, really?”

Xu Yan blinked her clear eyes. “Your woman.” Then she kissed him three times, triggering an extra System reward: one free pack of “Duleyi,” for use that night.

Xu Yan complained: That's too much.

System: Didn't you use up the pack you got two days ago in just two days?

Xu Yan facepalmed: ...

[Reading Guide]

The heroine has a Quick-Buy System that lets her shop across eras, but every purchase requires her to complete a ridiculous mission, such as “make the cold male lead laugh once” or “get the cold male lead to kiss her.”

The male lead seems like an abstinent tech fanatic, but he's actually a doting husband and an overthinker who questions his whole life every day...

Theme: Women should stand on their own.
