The 1980S: The Supporting Female Character's Comeback

Please add my upcoming novel, "I Work as a Toolmaker in a Period Novel," to your collection: Xu Lingshuang transmigrates into a novel she's read, becoming the female lead's foil. The female lead works hard and diligently, while she slacks off and loafs around; The female lead studies hard every day, while she puts on airs and fights over men; The female lead has a loving family and a happy romance, while her father dies, her mother remarries, and her husband eventually abandons her. Xu Lingshuang arrives just as the original owner's fate is about to take a turn. Her father died in the line of duty, and the factory offered her two jobs: one as a workshop worker, the other as a guesthouse attendant. Factory work is dirty, difficult, and exhausting, with machines for company all day. The attendant job pays well, is easy, and respectable. Anyone could tell which one to choose. * Recently, a stunning beauty arrived at Hongyun Machinery Factory. As soon as she showed up, she announced that she would become the factory's best toolmaker, prompting a wave of laughter. Could a pretty young woman like her really stand spending all day around machines, covered in the smell of machine oil? Later, Xu Lingshuang not only became the factory's best toolmaker, but the best in the entire country, taking part in countless major projects. * Ying Hongguang was an overseas Chinese who had returned from abroad. To help him find a partner, the organization had finally persuaded him to attend a social mixer. He had planned to show up, make up the numbers, and leave as soon as he could. But the moment he entered the hall, a young woman surrounded by a crowd captured his heart. After that, Ying Hongguang, who had always been aloof and untouched by worldly affairs, began asking the people in his office how to pursue a girl who loved working as a toolmaker. This story does not bash the original novel's male or female lead. They work hard and improve together. Blurb: Every novel has a middle-aged woman who is selfish, petty, greedy, ungrateful, sharp-tongued, and fierce. Liu Dayin was just such a woman.

Please add my ongoing novel next door, "The Whole Family Transmigrates to the Eighties," to your collection: Su Hongyue transmigrates!

On the second day after she transmigrates, her father wakes from a coma, holds up his pinky finger, and says, "Where on earth have we ended up?" On the third day, her mother wakes from a coma, wolfs down six big buns, wipes her mouth, and says, "Damn, this stuff is delicious." On the fourth day, her eldest brother wakes from a coma, looks around, then climbs down from the kang and bows. "Honored guests, how may I serve you?" On the fifth day, her second brother wakes from a coma, immediately leaps three feet in the air, catches a sparrow that has flown in, and stuffs the whole thing, feathers and all, into his mouth. Su Hongyue: Huddles around herself, trembling. & Ever since the Su family fell into the water, the villagers noticed that everyone in the Su family had changed.

Su Hongfeng, who had a runny nose all year round, became as hygienic as a city kid. Su Hongjun, who used to be quiet and reserved, became just as good at climbing trees, catching fish in the river, and teasing birds.
