Playing the Cannon Fodder in a 90s Sweet Romance

When Su Jiaojiao first transmigrated into a period novel, she was holding a stick and about to bring it down on her cousin's head. Heaven knew that if she swung that stick, not only would she miss and fail to kill her cousin, she'd end up in prison herself.

Su Jiaojiao quickly tossed the stick aside and carried her cousin, who had fainted from heatstroke, home.

"Jiaojiao's back?"

"Jiaojiao, come have an egg."

Su Jiaojiao looked around at her new circumstances: three thatched cottages, a pair of parents, and two older brothers. They were dirt poor, but they all doted on her with all their hearts.

In the original story, after the original owner landed herself in prison, her parents were killed by a car while heading to the county seat to borrow money from relatives to save her. Her two brothers worked year-round to earn money and make things easier for her in prison. They were still doing hard labor when the story ended.

Looking at this infuriating plot, Su Jiaojiao decided to defy fate and change her life.

When her cousin secretly kissed the male lead beneath a willow tree, Su Jiaojiao earned her first pile of money with a single silver needle.

When her cousin coquettishly asked the male lead to buy her a gold necklace, Su Jiaojiao opened a wellness clinic.

When her cousin proudly told everyone the male lead had given her a color TV, an air conditioner, and a VCR as betrothal gifts, Su Jiaojiao not only started a factory, but also helped her two brothers get into university.

After her cousin got married, she threw her weight around at her in-laws' home, using the baby in her belly as leverage. Meanwhile, Su Jiaojiao developed one new product after another, made a fortune every day, and became the richest person in the city.

Her cousin shook her head frantically. This isn't how the story goes! I'm the heroine!

Major Xie Lin was wounded in the leg during a mission. His injury wouldn't heal, so he went to visit his maternal grandmother while recuperating. There, he unexpectedly met a little fraud who claimed she could heal his leg with a single needle.

Xie Lin didn't believe her, but the little fraud kept pestering him until he finally let her try. To his surprise, one needle really did work a miracle.

He gave the little fraud a sum of money as payment, and that was that.

Xie Lin came from a prominent family and had a bright future ahead of him. Su Jiaojiao was just a country girl. They belonged to different worlds, and after they parted, they should never have crossed paths again.

Yet after returning to his unit, Xie Lin sat on the edge of his bed in the middle of the night, clutching his pounding heart and saying that a little fraud had stolen it.
