My new novel, My Wife Is Taking the Throne, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list. Novel blurb: On the evening of March 24, 1980, He Dacheng from Xiaoling Production Team knocked on the door of the old Jiang family's house next door. "Uncle, Auntie, I've taken a fancy to your second daughter, and she likes me too. If you agree, I'll marry her with a great show of drums and gongs. If you don't, I'll elope with her and come back to pay my respects after she's given you a grandson." Jiang Erya, resting her chin in her hands beside him, gazed at him dreamily. "That's right, that's right. I'll do whatever Dacheng says." Early the next morning, Jiang Erya also knocked on the neighbors' door. "Uncle, Auntie, I've taken a fancy to your He Dacheng, and he likes me too. If you agree, get the three big items and the betrothal gifts ready as soon as possible. If you don't, I'll make him marry into my family. Then I won't be looking after you two old lovebirds." He Dacheng nodded repeatedly beside her. "Erya, I'll do whatever you say." A month later, the two had a lively wedding and began their shamelessly lovey-dovey life together. The laziest, greediest couple in Xiaoling Production Team had made their grand debut. The people of Xiaoling Production Team: ...How can you two be so shameless? He Dacheng or Jiang Erya: What's the point of being dignified? We're busy farming, raising kids, and making a fortune. He Cheng and Jiang Ya had been together from school uniforms to wedding clothes. But getting to wear those wedding clothes hadn't been easy. After graduating, they'd struggled for years in a big city, unable to afford a home or have a child. Exhausted, they were discussing whether they should move back to their hometown when they woke up transmigrated into a book, into a rural period novel. The biggest villains in it were the two of them, whose job was to serve as stepping stones for the male and female leads. He Cheng or Jiang Ya: Well, isn't that a coincidence? (The original female lead won't be vilified, but the original male lead might be.) My new novel, My Wife Is Taking the Throne, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list. Blurb: Amid the chaos of war, Xie Yanwen rescues his childhood betrothed from among the refugees. After marrying, the two settle in a mountain village, where they enjoy a peaceful, comfortable life. But his young wife's beauty brings trouble, and nearby bandits abduct her. Before Xie Yanwen can even fight back, his gentle, adorable, helpless wife picks up a blade and cuts down the bandit chief with one stroke. Looking at the refugees and villagers filling the bandits' stronghold, Xie Yanwen sighs and can't bear to leave them without help. He lends a hand, only to end up as the new bandit chief. When the county magistrate comes to suppress the bandits, his young wife cuts him down. Xie Yanwen has no choice but to lead the bandits in taking over the county office and providing relief to the people. Later, his young wife cuts down a rebel leader who comes to seize their territory, then a vassal prince who comes to punish them and offer them amnesty... His young wife handles the killing but not the cleanup, so Xie Yanwen has to follow behind her and sort out the mess. Before long, the mess has grown bigger and bigger. Later, Xie Yanwen points to the map before them. "Look, my wife. This is the empire you conquered." Ye Yunxiu, who transmigrated from the apocalypse: I only wanted a peaceful meal! Theme: Take life easy and reject rat-race culture.
