The story is complete! Please give it a five-star review, my dear readers!
[The Third Wheel in a Childhood Sweetheart Romance has started updating. Please add it to your favorites!]
In the feel-good period novel The Brilliant 1970s, the male lead is mute and lame. His father died young, his mother remarried, and he's a pitiful burden whom everyone despises and torments.
But that won't last. In twenty years, he'll become the nation's richest man, admired by everyone.
In short, the more miserable the beginning, the more satisfying the payoff!
When Lin Ling woke up, she found herself in the role of the male lead's childhood nightmare: a vain, lazy, wicked woman who spent her life tormenting him and eventually brought about her own downfall!
At that moment, the original owner had just stepped on the male lead's injured foot and viciously called him a little cripple.
Lin Ling: "..."
Big Shot, if I tell you I didn't do it on purpose, will you believe me?
Reading notes:
1. The heroine is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, and totally dazzling.
2. The male lead is sweet on the outside and dark inside, an excellent actor, and extremely possessive.
3. Plenty of love rivals. Prepare for the inevitable "I really do like them" moment.

The next story, The Third Wheel in a Childhood Sweetheart Romance, is now underway.
[Also known as The Princess's New Clothes. Men are like clothes: if one gets dirty, change it. So we're changing the male lead.]
In old-school childhood sweetheart romances, there's always an annoying girl who arrives out of nowhere and wedges herself between the perfect couple.
Because of her, the male lead breaks the heroine's heart;
Because of her, the heroine's youth is clouded by misery;
Because of her, the male lead has to go through hell to win his wife back.
She's the homewrecker hated by every reader, and the catalyst for the couple's love.
Xun You never imagined that she would be that girl who came out of nowhere.
But she didn't understand. Qi An had agreed to her confession. They were in a real, proper relationship. How had she become the other woman?
She hoped Qi An would speak up for her, even if it was just one sentence.
But he didn't.
When Xun You was cornered in a restroom, Qi An didn't show up, either. She spent the night alone in the cold, stinking restroom.
Later, Xun You learned that it had been Jiang Yunke's birthday, and Qi An had been celebrating with her.
It was a cold night. Suddenly, Xun You understood:
She wasn't the other woman. She was just a fool.
*
Everyone at A University knew that campus beauty Xun You was wildly in love with Qi An.
They also knew that Qi An didn't love Xun You.
Even though they were officially a couple.
In Qi An's heart, the most important person would always be his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Yunke.
That's what everyone thought.
Until one day...
They saw Qi An, who had once been cool and aloof, looking at Xun You and her new boyfriend walking together in the distance. His eyes suddenly turned frighteningly red.
He was crying.
*
Yan Shijin was a minor character in the book.
He was gloomy and withdrawn, and kept everyone at a distance. He was a genius, but also a madman, destined not to live past twenty.
His existence had no meaning.
Reborn, Yan Shijin thought nothing would change in this life, either. He calmly waited for death to come.
But one day, a girl burst into his dark world.
She was spoiled, willful, and foolish, yet radiant, just the sort of person he hated most.
But later, he wanted to get a little closer to her, then a little closer still...
Content warnings:
1. Over-the-top melodrama and Mary Sue elements, with groveling. Not a purely sweet romance.
2. The heroine will have a new romance, and the couple may not both be virgins.
3. The male lead and male supporting characters are virgins.
4. There may be some angst and bitterness early on. Proceed with caution.
Theme: We should all face life with optimism and fear no hardships.
