Returning to the Republic of China with a Pocket Dimension

Coming soon: Life Doted on in the 1970s. Please add it to your collection.

Bai Sese, the thirty-ninth-generation heir to the Bai family's winery, transmigrates into a Republican-era novel as the traditional wife despised by her progressive, intellectual husband.

On their wedding night, Jiang Chenfeng looks at his bride in her phoenix coronet and red wedding gown, his expression cool. "Miss Bai, marrying you was not my intention. Keep this divorce agreement. If you'd like to stay with the Jiang family, we'll support you for the rest of your life. If you'd rather leave, take your dowry, and I'll give you an additional thousand taels of gold and an estate."

Sitting on the redwood bed with its carved decorations, Bai Sese's eyes light up. She lifts the bothersome red veil from her head and gazes at Jiang Chenfeng with shining eyes. "Do you mean it?"

Seeing his lively wife, Jiang Chenfeng is stunned. Hadn't he been told she was a quiet, traditional woman? Who is this person in front of him?

Bai Sese doesn't care about any of that. She snatches the divorce agreement from Jiang Chenfeng and quickly signs her name.

Later, after Jiang Chenfeng fails to propose to her again and again, he regrets countless times how impulsively he wrote that damn divorce agreement that night.

Bai Sese's response? What does some jerk of a man matter? Is the wine brewed from the spring in her space not delicious, or is the gold at home not beautiful?

Life Doted on in the 1970s

After losing her mother at six, Geng Lihua's life consists of endless chores, endless beatings, and endless hunger.

At long last, when she turns 18, the man promised to her in an arranged marriage comes to propose, but he has chosen her cousin, who has bullied her since childhood.

As her cousin arrives with her arm linked through her fiance's, flaunting her triumph, Geng Lihua lifts the door curtain. Out steps Wei Tang, a handsome, educated youth from the city.

His eyes curve with his smile. "Lihua, you finally agreed to date me?"

The villagers of Dayan Village think Geng Lihua will be abandoned just like her mother.

Her second aunt says it outright: "What do you think Wei Tang sees in you? He can't stand life in the countryside, so he's just looking for a free maid to serve him!"

Geng Lihua thinks that being a free maid is fine, as long as she can leave this household.

But life after marriage seems different from what she imagined.

She picks up a basin to wash clothes, and her husband immediately takes it from her. "Wifey, you don't have to wash them. I'll do it."

She has only just picked up a knife when he stops her. "Wifey, put that down. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Geng Lihua stands nervously in the room. What exactly did she marry him for?

Wei Tang shows her through his actions: all she has to do after marrying him is let him pamper her.

The village women see Wei Tang calling her "wife" every other word and worrying that even carrying a block of tofu might tire her out. They go home and grab their own husbands by the ears. "Look at how Wei Tang treats his wife!"

The village men: "Wei Tang, can you cut us some damn slack?"

When a Martial Arts School Owner Becomes the Heroine of an Angsty Romance

Qu Lingxi, the owner of a martial arts school who is broke as can be, transmigrates into an old-school angsty romance novel as the heroine, who shares her name.

In the novel, the male lead abuses her, then the second male lead abuses her, then the female supporting character abuses her. Every so often, there's a double or even triple round of abuse. Qu Lingxi can't help but suspect that the heroine must have some deadly grudge against the author.

Thinking about the intense physical abuse she's about to suffer, she clenches her fists until they crack. Physical abuse? She loves it.

Just then, a voice rings out in her mind: "Want to change your fate? Welcome to the Scumbag-Bashing Life-Changing System."

Verbally bash the scumbag male lead once: earn 100,000 yuan, reduce your abuse points by one, and increase your combat power by one.

Physically beat up the scumbag male lead once: earn 500,000 yuan, reduce your abuse points by two, and increase your combat power by two.

Make the scumbag male lead suffer unbearably: earn 10 million yuan, reduce your abuse points by 20, and increase your combat power by 20.

Qu Lingxi's eyes grow brighter the more she hears. "I can make money by dishing out physical abuse? I'm coming for you, money!"

Later, the male lead, the second male lead, and the female supporting character cry out whenever they see Qu Lingxi: "Don't come any closer! Please spare us!"

Later still, Qu Lingxi pins the handsome, devastatingly attractive uncle of the male lead against a wall. She grips his chin and smiles with wicked, seductive confidence. "Hey, handsome. Want to get 'abused'? 500,000 a go."
