The Male Lead's Fussy Stepsister in a Period Novel

This story has been revised. The complete version is available only on Jinjiang ^0^ Blurb: In the book *The Beloved Darling of the 1970s*, the male lead, Jiang Xun, comes from a poor family, but he's kind, tall, handsome, devoted, and doting toward the heroine. Before long, his powerful grandfather also comes looking for him. As the male lead of a sweet romance set in the 1970s, Jiang Xun has just one dark spot from head to toe: his vicious, spoiled stepsister, Song Ci. In the book, "Song Ci" is vain, arrogant, and always causing trouble. She makes a scene at every turn, abandons the male lead's friend, and constantly mocks and taunts her stepbrother. Then, in the first year the college entrance exams are reinstated, she even hides Jiang Xun's university admission letter. She nearly ruins his future. In the end, Jiang Xun kills her. When Song Ci learns that she's the spoiled stepsister in a story set in the 1970s, she's eating strawberries. Just five minutes earlier, she'd thoroughly "humiliated" the male lead. As for where the strawberries came from, she snatched them from the male lead, too. Song Ci: ...Forget it. I'll just eat my strawberries! * Shen Ran transmigrates into a book. As Song Ci's foil, she's the heroine, with a maxed-out halo and a golden finger. Shen Ran knows she's got the kind of story where she can win without lifting a finger. She waits for Song Ci to despise poverty, abandon her partner, and keep digging her own grave. She waits to marry Song Ci's stepbrother, become Song Ci's sister-in-law, and watch Song Ci die at the male lead's hands! But she waits and waits, and something's not right. Why are the male lead and Song Ci together?! Jiang Xun: Same question. When is Xiao Ci going to break up with her boyfriend (ex-boyfriend)? [Reading Note]: The male lead's mother and the heroine's father are not married, and the male and female leads are not blood relatives. They are not stepsiblings in the legal sense.

Lin Xia is the vicious female side character in an erotic historical romance. Following the usual clichéd setup, she's been jealous of the heroine since childhood, takes credit for saving her life, throws herself at all the powerful men, and keeps butting in when the male leads give the heroine suggestive looks. Lin Xia also mocks and frames the second male lead, Jiang Si, and even drugs him. After diligently following the plot for most of the story, a giant meteor shower suddenly falls from the sky. A strange disease breaks out, and those infected crave blood and bite people. They're called "living corpses." A group of people hide in a ruined temple. Outside, several living corpses slam into the wooden door. The girl facing the entrance trembles with fear. Lin Xia is frail and slender, and it probably won't take more than fifteen minutes for the living corpses to break in and devour her. At the edge of the group, Jiang Si grips a blade, his expression cold, as if none of this concerns him. It would suit a fool like her to become a foolish living corpse. But just as the living corpses break through the door, Lin Xia awakens! Oh, come on. Was there any need to awaken now? The sweet, indulgent historical romance has turned into an apocalypse erotica. All those years of effort have gone to waste! * A young general, a high-level living corpse, the leader of a shelter city, a master healer developing a cure for the living corpses... Male leads number one through six appear one after another, but none of that has anything to do with Lin Xia. There's even a plot point where she's thrown into a horde of living corpses just to make the heroine happy. When disaster strikes, Jiang Si thinks that Lin Xia, a drama queen with no ability to defend herself, will be the first to die. But just as her name suggests, Lin Xia is as resilient as the trees in a summer forest. She fights living corpses, stockpiles supplies, grows vegetables and grain, and flees from extreme weather. Even the leaders of the refuge cities compete to become her underlings. Lin Xia: The apocalypse is hard. An apocalypse erotica is even harder. Either I get bitten by a living corpse on the first day, or I survive! Bonus Scene: The moment the living corpses break into the ruined temple, newly awakened Lin Xia throws herself at Jiang Si, gazing at him adoringly and clutching his robes. She makes sure everyone in the temple hears her say, "Big Brother, I'm your long-lost sister. Save me!" Jiang Si: ... Looking at the drama queen before him and the others' fiercely disapproving glares, Jiang Si's urge to kill grows stronger! An ancient-world apocalypse story featuring stockpiling, fighting zombies, a System, farming, and infrastructure building. 2.

Her mother and older siblings are lazy and greedy, with their heads in the clouds, and they're constantly stirring up trouble. As the saying goes, the higher a troublemaker jumps, the harder they fall! Diao Kui: I'm stuck with a whole family of troublemakers, but the real question is, what kind of young woman is named Diao? A story about troublemakers clashing, farming, fleeing famine, and making a fortune. Theme: Don't be too greedy.
