After Becoming the Heroine of a Virtuous Wife Novel in The 1970S

[Currently updating]: I Had a Baby with a Male Educated Youth [The 1970s] Coming soon: A Delicate Beauty in the 1980s. See the blurb at the bottom. Jiang Tang transmigrated into a book. She had become the long-suffering stepmother in a family-values novel, a woman who worked herself to the bone all her life in exchange for nothing but, "You've had it tough." According to the plot, she would marry her brother-in-law and care for the two children her older sister left behind. She would start a life where her husband's family despised her, her niece and nephew hated her, and her husband ignored her. She would even have to work around the clock to raise her husband's illegitimate child, born after he was caught embezzling and dismissed from his post. The heroine would pour her heart and soul into the children, work herself into stomach cancer, and finally raise two graduates of prestigious universities. Then, after one of the ungrateful children called her "Mom," she would close her eyes with satisfaction. Jiang Tang: ... No, thank you! A life this tortuous yet meaningful can go to someone with loftier aspirations. She thought Su Meihua, who was eagerly waiting to have an illegitimate child for her "brother-in-law," had plenty of a selfless spirit to spare. As for Jiang Tang, she would head to the vast countryside and make her mark there. Jiang Tang caught a train and fled in the middle of the night. At first, the Jiang family didn't believe Jiang Tang would dare run away. Later, they figured that the wretched girl must be suffering in the countryside, leading a miserable, exhausting life. Surely it wouldn't be long before she wrote to beg them to bring her back to the city. But years passed without a word. When they met again, Jiang Tang was dressed in the latest fashion. And beside her was a handsome young man holding a child and carrying a bag. The whole Jiang family was stunned. What were they supposed to do now?... --- [Coming soon]: A Delicate Beauty in the 1980s --- The coquettish beauty Su Miao is reborn. A strange era, a strange family, and all sorts of bizarre things in the house. Her father is a regimental commander, her mother is a middle school teacher, and she has an outstanding fiance. Most importantly, aside from her two older brothers, she's the only daughter in the family. She clutched her chest and wept with joy. In this life, she would finally no longer be a lowly concubine, looked down on and pushed around at will. She hadn't been happy for long when the bad news arrived: she'd been switched at birth?! It would be one thing if the other family were farmers, but they treated their girls like livestock. Su Miao, raised with servants at her beck and call, eating delicacies and wearing silk and satin, stared with tearful eyes. What on earth was she supposed to do now? Maybe she could find a man to marry and keep living the easy life? But the men around her were all so ugly she couldn't bring herself to take a bite. Her birth daughter counterpart was about to return, and Su Miao was so worried she broke out in cold sores. Han Le was a notorious playboy in the residential compound. Aside from his handsome, dashing face, he was stubbornly rebellious. When they arranged a job for him, he'd rather die than take it. Whenever they set him up on a date, he made the girl so angry she couldn't show her face afterward. His only pleasure in life was diving into anything that smelled of money... Who could have guessed that one day he would suddenly announce that he was getting married, and that his bride was none other than Su Miao, the center of the recent scandal? Everyone in the Han family: Whoever she is, if she can make this boy settle down, we're happy. His peers: Isn't sacrificing this much just to get one over on Jiang Lu a little extreme? Jiang Lu: Even though Miao Miao and I ended our engagement, I still think of her as a little sister. If you have a problem, come to me. Don't use her to get back at me. Han Le rolled his eyes so hard they nearly disappeared. Pah! He's handsome, she's beautiful, and they share the same interests. They're a perfect match. What do outsiders know? P.S. The heroine has plenty of flaws (she's spoiled, vain, and picky), but she has good qualities too (she knows how to read the situation and has maxed-out learning skills). The hero is an extreme face-con, shallow and narcissistic, but loyal and generous. He's not the brooding, domineering CEO type. Theme: Life requires learning how to say no
