A Rich Beauty Transmigrates into a Book as the Heroine of an 1980s Novel

[Looking for advance readers for The Lovely Beauty of the 1980s]

*

When Xu Yao woke up, she had become the cannon-fodder heroine of an 1980s novel, who happened to share her name. The original heroine was adopted as a child and returned to her family at nineteen. Her parents didn't love her, and her younger sister and brother weren't close to her. She was married off at twenty. After her husband cheated, she fell into depression and died in a car accident.

Luckily, Xu Yao arrived just as the heroine was returning home. She had to find a way to avoid the original plot and escape the original owner's fate.

As a young woman from the modern era, she struggles to adapt to the simple life of the past and looks for ways to improve it. After much effort, she opens a small grocery store.

She runs the shop with care. In her spare time, she reads quietly behind the counter in a white dress, becoming a beautiful sight to behold.

The hottest topic among the nearby troops lately is the new grocery store. Those who've been there excitedly talk about it, while those who haven't have heard that the shopkeeper is so young and beautiful she looks like a fairy. They all want to go take a look.

Young men from the nearby military factories keep visiting her shop. They come by to buy a pack of cigarettes, offer to help unload deliveries, and compete to win her favor, hoping to get a chance to chat with her. With so many customers, her business keeps getting better.

Words can kill. When rumors suddenly start spreading, she does her best to keep her distance from other men, since she's unmarried.

She turns down the original owner's husband's intense advances, avoids the factory workers' teasing, and stays away from the fake friend who once hurt her. She can't stop people from stirring things up, so she can only do her best to live her own life.

Later, Xu Qijun, the military officer from the neighboring unit known as the Cold-Faced Yama, starts dropping by her shop whenever he can. In front of the other men who come to shop, he silently stakes his claim and asks her to leave the unloading work to him from now on.

Captain Xu wheedles, "Are you going to say something or not?"

Xu Yao glances at him. "Oh."

Xu Yao sprains her ankle, and Xu Qijun rubs medicinal liquor into it. Her skin feels soft and pale to the touch.

She's hot-tempered and snaps after only a couple of words. She only drinks boiled water, won't eat cold leftovers, can't do heavy work, and even hurts her hand making a simple meal. She's so afraid of pain that tears stream down her face. How can anyone be so stubborn and so pampered at the same time?

When he hears that a matchmaker has come to arrange a marriage for her, Captain Xu rushes over in a panic. But she takes the news completely in stride. Turns out he's the only one who's nervous.

He holds the beauty in his arms. Fine, he'd better keep a closer eye on her from now on, so she doesn't fly away.

This is the blurb for my new upcoming story, The Lovely Beauty of the 1980s.

Ming Yue transmigrates into a book and becomes a stepmother who mistreats children.

She wants to stay away from the children to avoid being accused of mistreating her stepson again.

But her adopted son follows her around, calling her Mom and asking for kisses and cuddles. She's never even had a child, so how is she supposed to be a mother? Luckily, her sweet, obedient adopted son loves her and doesn't give her any trouble at all.

When Gu Zhongyuan hears that the new woman in his home treats his son badly and disrespects his mother, he comes home specifically to kick her out. He'd rather spend the rest of his life alone than keep a woman like that.

Who knew the woman would be so beautiful and delicate?

His son clings tightly to her, and the two of them look so sweet and well-behaved together.

His mother had arranged for the woman to marry him out of concern. He'd lost his wife at a young age, and she felt sorry that her grandson had grown up without a mother's love.

He hadn't approved of the marriage, and hadn't even met the woman. He was still stationed with his unit when she moved in.

He'd thought that as long as she stayed in his hometown to keep his mother company, he could put up with it. He spent so little time with his mother that she could use as much of the household money as she wanted.

But when he returned, who was calling this woman a shrew?

She was more like a bewitching temptress! He often found himself helpless against her, and broke his own rules for her time and time again.

In the end, he came home to kick her out, but took her, heart and all, back to his unit instead, refusing to let her run away again.

Ming Yue had planned to escape, but her adopted son was sweet and sensible, and her handsome husband spoiled her rotten. After thinking it over, she decided it wasn't so bad after all.

Partially fictionalized setting. Happy ending, sweet and satisfying! Beautiful heroine, handsome hero!

Theme: Stay positive and keep living well, even in adversity.
