Ruling the Eighties with My Beauty

In her previous life, Wen Yinyin had her boyfriend stolen, was framed and lost her job at a state-owned factory, was pushed down a well and broke her leg, watched her mother die before her eyes, and heard that her younger brother had been wrongfully imprisoned...

When she opened her eyes again, Wen Yinyin had been reborn, back in the 1980s.

This time, even the System took pity on her.

[Beep! System task: Knit a stylish sweater and achieve an 80% rate of repeat glances in town.]

[Task complete: You have received one Golden Water Oxygen Skin-Rejuvenation Card.]

Wen Yinyin tossed aside her thick jacket and worn-out padded pants, said goodbye to her dowdy, pitiful appearance, and became a fashionable beauty with irresistible charm. Along the way, she even made herself a ten-thousand-yuan household.

Her father and stepmother, the scumbag man, and the fake innocent girl: this time, she'll make every one of you cry!

Wen Yinyin raised her soft, fair hand, ready to slap them in the face, but a broad palm suddenly caught her wrist.

The man before her wore a perfectly tailored suit. His expression was calm, and the curve of his lips held a cool, stern edge. "Honey, hitting people hurts your hand. Let me do it."

Little Scene:

Wen Yinyin lounged in a bamboo chair, basking in the sun as she ran her fingers through her thick, glossy curls. Her red lips pursed. "I've never had strawberries, and I want to try hot pot, too."

"I'll go buy some for you." Gu Mingyu pondered for a moment. "Then I'll acquire a strawberry farm, and..."

Before he could finish, Wen Yinyin sprang up from the chair. "Then we'll mass-produce hot pot soup base, eat some and sell the rest!"

Blurb:

In the dozens of novels that make up this world, the supporting girls all suffer painful childhoods and, without exception, grow up cruel and cold-blooded, mercilessly ruining the romance between the male and female leads.

Eventually, they rebel against their unfair fates. Under pressure from the public, the System has no choice but to select suitable candidates to travel back in time and take the place of the wicked supporting girls, suffering in their stead during childhood.

Selection criteria: cute, pretty, and clever. Ideally, not an ordinary human, or they won't withstand such intense pressure.

In the end, Bai Mimi, a little sprite who was watching the drama unfold in the Demon Realm, is selected.

The little sprite pouts miserably. "Mimi doesn't want to be a bad girl!"

[System: If you can complete the forty-nine trials and become the supporting girls, leaving a shadow over their childhoods, you'll be sent back to the final world to meet your birth mother.]

The little sprite clutches her fairy-magic wand pitifully, her eyes red. "Mimi misses Mommy."

So Bai Mimi travels to the year each wicked supporting girl was five years old.

World One: The money tree in the slums.

World Two: The disliked, mentally disabled biological daughter of a wealthy family.

World Three: The cheap daughter of a scheming, sweet-talking mother.

World Four: The adopted daughter forced to care for her disabled older brother in a period novel.

Later, Mimi finally completes her task, though not quite successfully.

The supporting girls' childhoods are left without a shadow, and they all grow up soft and adorable.

The System is furious, but Mimi's mother slaps it all the way to the edge of the sky.

[The System sobs: I'll never bully children again.]

The award-winning actress Su is still acting up a storm on set when, with a whoosh, she travels to the 1970s.

Forced to drop out of school and earn work points, she has to make a name for herself!

Fortunately, before long, a letter arrives from the head of the county town. It turns out she's the real heiress who was switched at birth.

Su Yuyu happily moves to the city, only to discover that the fake heiress has an even higher status than she does.

The fake heiress says, "People in the countryside don't care about proper habits. Our whole family brushes our teeth every day, or our mouths will stink."

Without a word, Su Yuyu takes out a toothbrush and toothpaste and starts teaching the Bass brushing technique.

The fake heiress says, "Foreign-language classes have already become standard at school. You'll struggle to keep up, so why not ask Dad to transfer you to an ordinary school?"

Su Yuyu remains expressionless, then recites a passage in eight languages for the entire school.

The fake heiress pouts pitifully. "Mom, Dad, I stole my sister's identity and status. I should leave."

Su Yuyu can't take it anymore. Her pink lips tremble, and tears come instantly. "Mom, Dad... Am I just in the way?"

The head of the county town and his wife are heartbroken. They cradle Su Yuyu's tender cheeks, full of affection. "You're our own daughter. How could you be in the way? We're the ones who let you down!"

From then on, everything goes smoothly for Su Yuyu, and she even gets a System.

[Beep! The Beauty System has issued a task: Find the original owner's childhood friend, Shen Duo, and help the original owner fulfill her final wish.]

[Upon completing the task, you may freely enter a Hollywood makeup room and create a flawless look.]

Apart from Shen Duo, no one knows Su Yuyu's secret: the girl she was in childhood is no longer who she is now.

But he doesn't care.

Even if he has to fight his way through thorns, even if she leaves him covered in wounds, he will protect the Su Yuyu she is now.

After all, only he can handle someone as outrageously willful as her.
