The Sweetheart of the 1980s

(Upcoming: Transmigrated into the Foil's Role [1960s]. The blurb is at the bottom. If you're interested, take a look.)

[This story is told from the heroine's perspective.]

Zhou Xueshan has hated Ye Shu since childhood. She can't stand seeing her happier, more successful, or more well-liked than herself.

So she stole Ye Shu's childhood sweetheart and fiancé.

She wanted to see Ye Shu utterly heartbroken, but when she turned around, she discovered that Ye Shu had married the older boy she had admired and looked up to as a child.

After returning to five years earlier, the first thing Ye Shu does is dump her scumbag fiancé.

The second thing she does is marry the big bad wolf from the compound, praised by the adults, admired by her peers, and feared by the children.

The big bad wolf is stern and unsmiling, but only Ye Shu knows that at night he's a clingy wolfhound!

Transmigrated into the Foil's Role (1960s)

The blurb is a draft for now. I'll flesh it out when I start writing.

Every novel has characters who exist only to make the leads look good. Unfortunately, Xu Qingyou transmigrated into a sweet romance novel as the pitiful second female lead who shares her name.

The heroine is the only little girl in the Old Xu family of Lotus Village. She has seven older brothers and is the apple of the family's eye, doted on by everyone. Xu Qingyou, on the other hand, was born after three older sisters, the youngest child no one wanted or valued.

The heroine is healthy, while she is sickly.

The heroine is beautiful and poised, while she is timid and weak.

The heroine is clever and quick-witted, while she is dull and clumsy.

The heroine marries a handsome army officer and lives happily ever after, while she marries a cripple who beats her and spends half her life in misery.

Xu Qingyou: ...Oh, screw that! I'm not going to be someone else's foil!

Couple: A bold, flirtatious heroine vs. a virile army officer hero

Notes:

1. After transmigrating into the book, the heroine will gradually regain the appearance she had in real life.

The heroine is the most beautiful woman in the story: a true Mary Sue.

2. The original heroine will be portrayed as a villain, a lucky koi spirit who steals other people's fortune.

3. The male lead is someone else.

Theme: Meeting the right person in the best years of your life
