[Old-fashioned, domineering, stingy straight man VS proud, sensitive, rebellious young lady]

Blurb: The pampered legitimate daughter Lin Baozhu suddenly finds herself transported to the 1980s. When she wakes up, she discovers that she has been promised in marriage. The man is tall and imposing, with a heroic face, but he treats her indifferently, even with a hint of disdain.

On the very first day of their marriage, he drives her out of bed to work. The delicate young lady sobs with her head against the bedside, her heart full of bitterness.

But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that this domineering, preachy, miserly man may be petty and old-fashioned, and may complain about this and that, but his actions always betray his words. He often takes her side and never lets anyone bully her.

In the end, he goes even further, indulging her as she repeatedly tests his limits, until she sheds her bad temper.

Zhou Zhiping has spent his whole life stretching every penny until it could be split in two, until one day he marries a pampered little wife.

At first, he lectures her: "We have to live frugally. Don't spend a single cent on anything we don't need."

Later, he eats his words, spending money like water with grand enthusiasm, all to make her happy.

Once, when he saw her turn the kitchen into the scene of a spectacular disaster, he cried out in alarm: "You're a woman, and you can't even cook. Do you expect me to make you meals every day?"

Later, he straightens up and corrects her solemnly: "I'm a grown man, and it's not as if I can't cook. How could I make my wife cook every day?"

Lin Baozhu: "..."

Content warnings:

1. The male lead is a classic straight man. At first, he talks and acts very much like one. If he makes you angry, curse him, not me (just kidding).

2. In his previous life, the male lead was married to someone other than the female lead. In this life, it is a one-on-one romance with a sweet and devoted couple. Read with caution if that bothers you.

3. The author's knowledge is limited, so some descriptions may be inaccurate.

Upcoming historical novel: Wutong Trees in the Nineties, Blessed by Sweet Rain

[A scheming factory beauty bent on marrying into a wealthy family × a handsome, spoiled rich kid whose family has a fortune]

Ning Xianwu leaves her remote mountain hometown for a big southern city, thinking she has finally escaped the mountains. Beautiful but uneducated, she has no idea that in the big city, she is just one grain of sand among many.

She becomes an assembly-line worker at a clothing factory, where life is hard and wages are low. After attracting the covetous attention of a forty-year-old workshop supervisor, she resolves to seduce some rich, gullible, honest man.

Tu Xinglin, the factory manager's son, seems just right: uneducated, foolish and loaded, with a handsome, pretty face.

Ning Xianwu relies on her beauty to get her way wherever she goes, but she hits a snag with him. He looks foolish, but is as sly as a monkey, with a sharp, mean tongue. When she tries to flirt with him, he not only acts indifferent, but also mocks her in every way he can.

After failing again and again and giving up, Ning Xianwu sees Tu Xinglin disrupting her matchmaking date once more.

Ning Xianwu snaps: "Tu Xinglin, since you know I'm a gold digger, are you going to stop me from finding another way out, too?"

Tu Xinglin drawls: "Your methods are low, you're a hypocrite, and your face is the only thing you have going for you. But who said you could marry someone else?"

Only after Ning Xianwu is tricked into marrying him does she discover that this bastard had his eye on her all along and was just pretending.

The male lead is a top student from a prestigious university, not a spoiled rich kid. Xianxian simply misunderstood him.
