My new story, All the Women in the Family Are Heroines in a Feel-Good Story [The 1970s], is now available.
Yun Xiaojiu was a little ferocious beast. Every day, all she did was eat and squeak. One day, she accidentally transmigrated into a period novel.
The Yun family had eight grandsons in a row. At long last, they had a granddaughter, and everyone in the family doted on her like a precious treasure.
The villagers assumed the Yun family's granddaughter would be fierce, since everyone in that family was a piece of work. Even their geese snapped at people.
Then Auntie Yun carried the month-old Yun Xiaojiu out for a stroll. The little baby was rosy and soft, with long, curled lashes and big eyes always brimming with golden tears, on the verge of crying. She was so cute it hurt.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Xiaojiu?"
Auntie Yun took one look at Xiaojiu and hurried home. "Oh no, she's hungry again."
Ever since the little ferocious beast came to the Yun family, everything changed dramatically.
The lazy, gluttonous, shrewish mother started getting up before dawn to sell breakfast at a stall in town.
The selfish, self-important grandmother suddenly began keeping the house spotless and orderly.
The ne'er-do-well father, who had vanished years ago after driving his tractor into the river, came back...
The whole family pulled together, their lives got better and better, and they became the first "ten-thousand-yuan household" in the area.
More than half the credit went to Yun Xiaojiu. She ate so much that if they didn't work hard to earn food for her, she'd starve to death.

[New story: All the Women in the Family Are Heroines in a Feel-Good Story [The 1970s]]
Tang Xiaotang was a cotton-candy sprite, soft and sweet on the outside, but ruthless in reality. Her favorite thing was keeping a little notebook of grudges. One day, she transmigrated into a book.
Her mother had given birth to three daughters and was looked down on by her biased grandmother. The grandmother even found a new wife for Tang Xiaotang's father, and he accepted, getting the woman pregnant.
Her two older sisters had it even worse, one after another. They ended up with cheating men, abusive men, and mama's boys...
In the month after Tang Xiaotang arrived, her mother and sisters died one after another. In the end, poor little Tang Xiaotang was left alone and starved to death.
Tang Xiaotang thought it was ridiculous. She was so adorable, so there was no way she'd starve to death. She'd never starve to death in her whole life. Dealing with scumbags and putting troublesome people in their place was what she did best.
In an era when every production team was struggling, she was determined to give her family a sweet life.
Men couldn't be relied on. They would depend on themselves.
Every woman in this family was the heroine of her own feel-good story: a scheming, brilliant matriarch of a mother; a top student and domineering CEO of an eldest sister; and a flirtatious, green-tea second sister who kept a roster of suitors. Behind Tang Xiaotang's back, they came clean and agreed that poor little Xiaotang had no golden finger, unlike the rest of them, so they had to treat her even better. Later, they realized Tang Xiaotang was the real big shot.
