An Ordinary Person in Republican-Era China

In her twelfth year since transmigrating from the apocalypse, Gu Chunni takes her younger brother across disaster zones and war zones, fleeing thousands of miles to seek refuge with their father. By her reckoning, it's also been twelve years since her father took another wife in the city while his first wife was still alive. Standing in her father's Western-style house, with her stepmother looking ready to devour them and her little brother trembling, he says, "Sister, that bad woman with the red lips is so scary!" Gu Chunni stands tall and puffs out her chest. "What's there to be afraid of? If we don't rely on anyone for a living, we don't have to worry about their attitude. Haicheng is a big place. Can't it support two kids like us? We won't rely on heaven or earth, our parents or ancestors. We can make a whole new life for ourselves!" Reader's Guide: 1. There is a spatial dimension, but it's because of the era. I don't want the heroine eating tree bark and digging up weeds, so I had to give her a golden finger. She only uses it at crucial moments. 2. No household infighting. The heroine has her own career. 3. There are basically none of the popular elements like socialites, universities, female students, writing, or concubines. This is a story about ordinary people struggling to get ahead. 4. No suffering in silence. She gets revenge as soon as she's wronged. 5. Don't be misled by the opening. This isn't a war novel, and it isn't meant to parallel real life. Coming Soon: A Little Family in the Republic of China One older brother, one older sister, both parents alive, and a comfortable family life. Her father is capable and gentle, her mother virtuous and sensible, and even her grandmother is no troublemaker, but a household guardian in every sense. Xu Lin couldn't be happier to wake up in a family that had everything going for it. Until she discovers she was born in the old capital during the Republic of China. Fourteen years later, the old capital falls. The story begins when the heroine is fourteen. It is still about ordinary people living through the upheaval of the Republic of China, but the heroine won't be put through misery.

Never give in.
