Conquest

The Xing family goes bankrupt, and Xing Er moves to Sishui Street, notorious for being filthy and run-down. Underling: “Brother Gu, look, a girl just arrived.” Gu Jin pulls out his earbud and drawls, “What? That bastard Lin Ju is here to mess with me?” Underling: “...” You might want to get your hearing checked. His gaze lands on the woman in a red evening gown. He gives a soft whistle. “A fallen heiress? Sishui Street doesn’t take in outsiders just like that. Find a reason to kick her out.” Not long afterward. Gu Jin sets an alarm, rolls up his sleeves, and sits down in front of his computer. Seeing him completely focused, his underlings think Brother Gu is about to pull off something big. Instead, he opens a shopping page and furiously clicks the mouse the moment the second hand hits twelve. His underlings, who couldn’t see what was happening: “...” That was one hell of a flurry of clicks. As expected of Brother Gu. Leaning back in his chair, Gu Jin makes a phone call and says in the gentlest voice of his life, “I got the lipstick. The 274 you wanted most.” Underlings: “...” Too painful to watch. - Gu Jin is sick, and it happens to be a shopping festival. With a fever patch on his forehead, the man watches Xing Er frantically fill her shopping cart, but she doesn’t even give him a glance. Xing Er comes over. “Give me your hand.” Gu Jin happily gives it to her, thinking she wants to hold hands. Xing Er holds the screen up to him, and all he hears is a ding: fingerprint payment successful. Gu Jin: “?” The heroine is a hot-tempered heiress; the male lead is sweet on the outside, dark on the inside. Ongoing: A Prosperous Little Life in the Seventies As the only girl in the Gu family for three generations, Gu Qingqing has been her grandparents’ precious darling since childhood. Her father is the production team leader, her second uncle is a well-known carpenter for miles around, her third uncle is a cook at a state-run restaurant, and her fourth uncle... her fourth uncle is silver-tongued and not bad-looking. She has plenty of cousins, and her two older brothers are both in the army. The family’s life is flourishing and steadily improving. One day, her second older brother, stationed with the construction corps, sends her a letter. Along with ration coupons, cloth coupons, and his allowance, there’s a photograph. The man in his service uniform has sharp brows and bright eyes, and he’s incomparably more handsome than her older brother, the air force pilot. Gu Qingqing immediately decides: She’s going to visit him! To the construction corps! She has to marry him! She’ll wheedle and coax her second older brother until he ties the knot of fate for her. Years later, two handsome young men from the Chu family ask their grandfather, “How did you meet Grandma back then?” Chu Dai holds back a laugh. “Well... your grandma saw just one photo of me. She’d never traveled far from home, but she rode a green train north by herself for a whole day and night. Then she lay listlessly on your second maternal uncle’s shoulder and said she’d come to find a partner.” Slice-of-life story, set in an alternate world.
