Raising the Tycoon's Baby in the 1970s

My next novel, The Seventies' Tough Girl Wants a Live-in Son-in-Law, is introduced below. Please add it to your reading list. Thank you.

This novel's synopsis:

Tong Yu, born in the 1980s, came down with a serious "illness" just before her high school entrance exams. Every night after falling asleep, she turned into a little boy. The child wore patched clothes and went hungry. His parents divorced and left him with his maternal grandmother. When his uncles split up the family, he became a problem nobody wanted to deal with.

"Fanfan can stay with me. I'll raise him as my son from now on." Well, at least there was Second Uncle.

Thanks to the watches and radios she brought with her, Second Uncle's family and her maternal grandparents soon moved into a new house. When the land was contracted to individual households, they began raising silkworms and reeling silk, becoming major producers of raw silk in the area. At last, First Uncle and Third Uncle noticed that Second Uncle's life had kept getting better since he took in his nephew. No way. They wanted this lucky nephew too.

Want him? He's not yours just because you want him. Tong Yu ate the black-boned chicken Second Uncle had raised and looked down on those two shameless men.

Before long, the boy of the past went abroad to study. When he returned, he founded Southern Technology and became an industry leader. Sitting in his luxurious office dozens of floors above the ground, the man gazed at the crowds below, feeling strangely lost. Where are you, my one and only? Sharing a body with him, he'd always taken it for granted that the other person was a well-behaved boy. But then...

"You're a girl?"

"...Yeah."

"You used my body. You have to take responsibility for me."

"..."

She'd only just graduated and was ready to work hard, yet it seemed her life had already reached its peak. Tong Yu's mouth twitched. She had no idea what to do. Now she'd never be able to shake the rumor that she'd latched onto a rich man.

---Next novel's synopsis

Meng Rui was the only daughter of her parents, and she could plow fields and work the land. Everyone for miles around praised her as a capable girl. But that very quality was why her fiance cheated on her with her cousin. They said she was too capable and had none of a woman's gentleness.

Hmph. Furious, Meng Rui ignored everyone's advice and promptly broke off her engagement. She gave her pretty cousin a cold stare.

"You love picking up other people's castoffs? Fine, I'll let you have this one."

"You..." You don't know anything. Wu Qiang, the brother-in-law I worked so hard to steal, is going to be the richest man in the country. A woman can ruin her life by marrying the wrong man. Now that I've been reborn, I'll make sure I get him this time.

After ending her engagement, Meng Rui no longer wanted to marry. She planned to find a husband willing to join her family and live with her parents. Just as she was looking around and failing to find anyone suitable, the young educated youth she'd rescued from drowning showed up at her door.

"We shared a moment of intimacy and faced life and death together. I've chosen you for this lifetime."

Looking at the young man with his red lips and pearly white teeth, the tough girl Meng Rui was stunned. He was handsome, came from a good family, wrote beautiful calligraphy, and seemed to know how to play the accordion too. Everyone else was studying for the university entrance exams. Why were you going against the grain?

"You don't mind that I'm rough and too capable?"

"Being capable is a woman's true nature. I'll gladly follow your lead and do whatever you say."

"Deal."

The tough girl found the man she liked, and once land contracts were introduced, she threw herself into building a business. Her man was always there to support and help her. Years later, she became the richest woman in the area. Meanwhile, her cousin, who had been determined to get ahead by stealing someone else's fiance so she could become a rich man's wife, ended up destitute. Her husband beat her, cheated on her, and abandoned her, leaving her to pay off his debts.

Theme: You are in me, and I am in you. We face the storms hand in hand and bask in the sunshine together.
