The Real Heiress Gets Rich in a Period Novel; I Won't Be the Richest Man's Wife [The 1990s]

Blurb One:

Shen Yinxiang transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder character whose parents and older brother were all dead. Everyone called her a jinx and thought she'd never find a husband.

But she did.

And not just anyone: she married the renowned heir to the Marquis of Weiyuan.

Before anyone could get jealous, the heir to the Marquis of Weiyuan kicked the bucket.

Everyone: Oh, wow. That jinx is vicious!

Shen Yinxiang: Don't pin this on me! I'm innocent, damn it!

Whenever her brother-in-law, Fu Yunzhou, saw her, his gaze was especially sharp, as if he wanted to devour her flesh and sleep in her skin.

Shen Yinxiang: Eek, scary.

Blurb Two:

Fu Yunzhou had never met a woman as two-faced as Shen Yinxiang.

She was strong enough to move mountains, yet insisted on acting weak and helpless.

She had saved his life in the suburbs, but when they met again, she went to great lengths to deny it.

She was clearly seducing him, yet pretended to be innocent and pure.

One day, Shen Yinxiang was secretly packing her things again, preparing to run away. When she turned around, someone grabbed her by the waist and pinned her to the bed.

Fu Yunzhou's low, icy voice sounded beside her ear. "Where are you going, sister-in-law?"

Shen Yinxiang trembled. "I-I'm going to pray at a temple."

Fu Yunzhou stroked her belly. "Oh? Praying that you'll have a few children for me in the future?"

Shen Yinxiang was horrified. "What kind of filthy stuff are you thinking? A Jiang won't let me write that!"

#That knife strike all those years ago really did hit him right in the heart.#

#I'm so delicate. Just kidding. (#^.^#)#

A sister-in-law who pretends to be weak x a younger brother-in-law who gets above his station

Notes:

1. The heroine and the hero's older brother have no romantic feelings for each other.

2. The hero is quite a jerk in the early chapters.

3. This is a fictional setting, with a mix of original worldbuilding and borrowed elements.

Don't worry about the author abandoning the story. No chance! I have fifty thousand words in reserve... (heavy hinting)

Upcoming novel

I Won't Be the Richest Man's Wife [The 1990s]

Everyone said Shen Liqiu was blessed. When she was young, she had a secure government job and never worried about food or clothes. Later, her husband Yang Bin took unpaid leave to go into business and made a fortune. From then on, they were rich.

When the average monthly salary was only four or five hundred yuan, Shen Liqiu was already wearing a fur coat worth eighteen thousand, making everyone green with envy.

Later, Yang Bin became the richest man in Xing City and had Shen Liqiu quit her job. She lived in a mansion and enjoyed the life of a pampered rich man's wife.

But only Shen Liqiu knew how much she had suffered and how many tears she had shed. Beneath the glamorous life everyone envied lay a marriage in ruins.

Her faithless husband, a man who had married up, their daughter who had been spoiled rotten, and the relatives who constantly bossed her around and took advantage of her had made her life utterly exhausting.

If she could start over, she would never forgive her husband's infidelity again and again. She would never give her greedy relatives whatever they asked for, and she would never neglect her daughter's growth...

If only she could start over.

When she opened her eyes, Shen Liqiu was being woken by her two-year-old daughter. She had been reborn.

The Real Heiress Gets Rich in a Period Novel

When Shen Rong was seventeen, she discovered that her dreams could predict the future. At first, she didn't believe it, but then the things she'd dreamed about came true, and she realized she'd gained a golden finger.

It turned out that her older sister, Shen Fu, was the real heiress who had been switched at birth. Her biological parents would discover the truth in five years and come to their village to claim her.

Her future brother-in-law would also rise to great heights, amass hundreds of billions in assets, and become a renowned success.

But Shen Fu wouldn't live to see five years from now.

Because she was spiteful and didn't like the child her future brother-in-law brought home, she was manipulated into selling the child and taking the money south. There, she had a kidney stolen and died a horrible death.

Her future brother-in-law had left the military because of an injury. Before he could recover, his wife sold the child entrusted to him by a comrade. Grief-stricken and frantic, he turned down the job arranged for him and searched for the child for thousands of miles.

He never found the child, and he ended up with a limp. After that, he never remarried.

Shen Rong had it all planned out. Once Shen Fu got herself killed and her future brother-in-law became a cripple, she'd step in to help, and she'd have that golden ticket firmly in her grasp!

Then she could have anything she wanted and reach the pinnacle of life.

But she waited and waited. Shen Fu never got herself killed, and her future brother-in-law never became a cripple.

She watched Shen Fu set up a food stall, get a motorcycle, and go to the city with her future brother-in-law. When they came back, they were riding in a car!

The two unfortunate kids were right there with them, and her future brother-in-law was hale and hearty. He looked at Shen Fu with such longing it was practically dripping from his eyes.

Shen Rong panicked. What the hell? Why was this different from her dream?!

*

As soon as Shen Fu transmigrated, she knew she was the real heiress who had been switched at birth. She was supposed to rush back to claim her family and start living a life of luxury.

But she didn't.

Instead, she worked hard and built her career from the ground up, eventually opening her company in Shanghai. There, she happened to meet her biological parents.

At that moment, the truth came out.

Her biological parents: Fu Fu, we know you've had a hard life, but we raised her too. Could you accept her for our sake?

Her fiance: I know I shouldn't say this, but she and I truly love each other. Shen Fu, could you let us be together?

The real heiress, Shen Fu, waved a hand. "Sorry, I don't know you people."

He Yujun held the two children by the hand and gazed at her pleadingly. "Honey, the kids are hungry."

Theme: Everyone should have the courage to face their true feelings.
