Coming Soon: Climbing the Social Ladder in a Novel Set in the Seventies and Becoming a Dynasty's Empress Through My Love of Good Looks.
Synopsis: Consort Mu Yan of Great Chu and her son, the Sixth Prince, lost the struggle for the throne. The new emperor bestowed poisoned wine and a white silk sash upon them, ending their lives.
When she woke again, she and her son had become a doomed mother-and-son pair in a Republican-era novel she had read in her previous life.
That's right, her previous life. Mu Yan had once been the lead dancer in a famous dance troupe. After an accident onstage, she had somehow traveled to Great Chu and become the legitimate youngest daughter of Prime Minister Mu. Her family later sent her into the imperial palace, where she became an imperial consort.
Now she had traveled back to an era she knew well.
So when the Sixth Prince, who barely came up to Mu Yan's knees, saw her dressed to the nines and preparing to dance at the Xianle Club, he said:
“Mother, you are the most senior of the Four Consorts. How can you lower yourself to dance for other people... (And those clothes show your arms and legs. Father...)”
Mu Yan said, “If I don't earn money, how are the two of us supposed to eat?”
The Sixth Prince said, “I can go sell newspapers with Wang Xiaohu next door.” He looked downcast and fidgeted with his fingers.
Mu Yan said, “Son, you don't have to work so hard. I'll just find you a new dad.”
The Sixth Prince said, “Huh? The kind who can let me inherit the throne?”
Mu Yan said, “Son, the Qing Dynasty has already fallen. You're still thinking about becoming emperor?”
In the end, finding a new dad didn't work out, because the child's birth father came knocking.
Coming Soon 1: Climbing the Social Ladder in a Novel Set in the Seventies
Because of her breathtaking beauty, Nan Xi was adopted by the wealthy Fang family of Yangzhou at the age of twelve. The Fangs hired tutors to teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as how to care for her skin and enhance her beauty. They planned to present her as a rare treasure to powerful officials when she was older.
The day before she was to be presented to the crown prince, an accident occurred.
When she woke again, Nan Xi had become a young woman named Nan Xi in Wangjia Village in the 1970s. Her family was counting on her to marry into a powerful family and help them make their way back to the capital.
After all, she was the prettiest one in the family.
The Nan family had suffered a miserable fate. Nan Xi's mother was reported by the man who shared her bed, and the whole family was sent to a reform farm. Meanwhile, Nan Xi's faithless father married the daughter of the Nan family's enemies, and the new family lived happily ever after.
With no way out, the Nan family decided to pin all their hopes on the astonishingly beautiful Nan Xi.
Her maternal grandmother taught her how to pick a handsome, high-quality man.
Her aunt taught her how to care for her skin and preserve her beauty.
Her mother taught her how to dress herself and fit into his social circle.
Nan Xi just waved it off. None of that was a problem. She was an old hand at climbing the social ladder.
Coming Soon 2: The World Rebooted After I Killed the Male Lead
The moment Song Weichu was devoured by zombies, she learned that she was the villainess in an apocalypse novel.
In the story, she was the male lead's two-faced, scheming ex-girlfriend. She had gotten close to him only because he was the heir to a wealthy family. When the apocalypse began, she abandoned him without hesitation because he had no special abilities.
Later, with the heroine by his side, the male lead became the leader of a survivor base. Song Weichu regretted leaving him and went to great lengths to make life difficult for the heroine, until the heroine, Yao Xiangyi, shoved her into a horde of zombies. Only as they tore her apart did she learn the truth about the world.
In the final second before she lost consciousness, bitten and mangled by the zombies, she vaguely saw the male lead rushing toward her, his face full of fear and panic.
Then, the moment he took her into his arms, she used the last of her strength to bite him. At last, she saw the heroine's composure crumble.
Song Weichu laughed. Once the male lead was bitten and transformed, this world would collapse, and everything Yao Xiangyi had plotted would come to nothing.
She thought she was going to die just like that, but fate was on her side. She returned to the day the male lead confessed his love to her.
Given another chance at life, Song Weichu decided to strike first.
Better them than me. That was her survival creed in the apocalypse.
Lu Weiyuan: I know she is ruthless, a compulsive liar, and willing to do anything to survive. She has never cared about anyone but herself.
But no matter how much I loathe her, hate her, or want to kill her, I cannot change one fact.
I love her.
Theme: You have to change your own destiny.
Neither the daughters of the Lin family nor the daughters of the Xiao family can compare with the heroine. There is a gap in experience and education. Don't think that they are extraordinary because they were international students at that time. My grandmother told me that because my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were early Chinese Americans, they met some Chinese international students when they were studying. They told my grandmother that at that time, unless they were international students sent to the United States by the Chinese government or the heirs of a large family who wanted to take over the family business, international students would study seriously and learn more technical and difficult majors. Most of the so-called "foreign-style young ladies" from China study in the Department of Home Economics, where they can catch fish every day, and some study English, which does not count English language and literature, but is simply a language department. There are relatively few real female international students like Bing Xin, mostly for the sake of good reputation. Three of the three Song sisters majored in literature. Among them, Soong Ching Ling and Soong Meiling are both government-sponsored students, and they study very hard, so there are some young ladies who are serious about studying abroad. But according to my great-grandmother's recollection, this proportion is too small. They go abroad to study almost for the gimmick of "women in the new society." But it is also a reason to increase their knowledge. But I think the knowledge coverage of these gilded young ladies who are dawdling around is not as good as that of Chinese college students in modern society who have passed the college entrance examination.
There are always people like this who engage in internal strife for their own benefit when invaded by foreign enemies.
So isn't Mr. Jiang a traitor in disguise?
It's the 4th, where is the update, where is the update~
I hate thinking about people like Jiang Yunlei
It's good to watch, but it's a pity that there are no extra updates. I want to see the overseas life of Muyan and Yu Zian's family of four.

This author must have to wait for several months to update, so don't you need to buy the ones that come later?
I suddenly came across this book today and finally saw the end. Is there no extra story?
