After Becoming the Original Heroine of a Period Novel [The 1970s]

[Updated daily. Please add my upcoming novel, Binding to the Beauty System in the 1970s, to your reading list!]

Jiang Yan transmigrates into a period novel as the original heroine, whose luck has been stolen. Not only is her handsome male lead snatched away and her beauty ruined, but she is also framed and sent to prison, where she eventually dies of illness.

Right now, she's at the early stage of being notorious.

System: Bind with me, activate revenge mode immediately, and climb to the top of the world.

Jiang Yan: ? Thanks, but no thanks.

A tragic original heroine? Not happening!

A supporting character who was used as a pawn comes to provoke her?

She'll turn her into a sister!

A bad reputation leaves her facing sexual harassment?

I'll make sure you're the one who can't move! Then beat you up!

The original male lead has a crush on her?

That rotten cucumber can get lost! What's wrong with a handsome, devoted soldier?

She wreaks havoc on the plot, snubs the original male lead, and flirts up a storm with everyone else!

The System flips the table: ...Whatever. I'm done!

A curious new rumor spreads through the military compound: Fu Chengyu, who has never been interested in women, came back after a year of training outside the garrison and is already dating someone!

Tsk, tsk. His girlfriend is gorgeous, both beautiful and alluring. Too bad she's timid as a little rabbit.

Everyone shakes their heads and sighs. With that icy, fearsome face of Fu Chengyu's, the poor beauty must get scared into tears three times a day!

Sure enough, one day outside the military compound...

The tall, imposing Fu Chengyu corners the beauty. His face is so dark he could be a door god hanging on the gate. Just as everyone is about to rush in and stop a case of "domestic abuse"...

A sultry voice rings out, alluring to the bone: "You're angry after only two kisses? Fu Chengyu, are you even any good?"

Everyone: ???

No, this is not the little rabbit they imagined!

[Mini Scene]

Fu Chengyu: You'll find out after we get married.

The first day after the wedding, Jiang Yan (stubbornly): That was nothing special.

The second day, Jiang Yan (gritting her teeth and holding her back): A little better than average.

The third day, Jiang Yan bites the corner of the blanket in frustration. Her legs are trembling so much she can't get out of bed.

Fu Chengyu: A little better than average? Which average person? Say that again. I've got a whole month of wedding leave.

Jiang Yan: !! A whole month!!! How are we supposed to live like this?!

P.S. The heroine is beautiful and knows it! Maxed-out fighting skills!

#A flirty, sweet-acting, fake-good-girl heroine vs. a ruthless, scheming, yet devoted hero#

★★Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list: Binding to the Beauty System in the 1970s★★

Ni Xiangnan transmigrates into the impoverished 1970s and opens her eyes at a matchmaking session.

The good news: Her father is the production brigade leader, her brother is a militia battalion commander, and she can eat without working in the fields. She's also bound to a beauty system that gives her meat to eat.

The bad news: She's transmigrated into a harem novel aimed at male readers. Not only is she the cannon-fodder ex-wife who gives the male lead a free ticket to return to the city, she's also a foil to the cousin of one of his harem members.

The cousin: hardworking, capable, pretty, and slender, the ideal wife every eligible man in the surrounding villages wants.

Her: lazy, greedy, and slovenly, with a huge head and ears, weighing 250 pounds, and famous as the laziest girl in the area.

Watching the harem girls get up before dawn and stay up late, doing everything for the male lead and even washing and cooking for him.

Ni Xiangnan: I respect their choices, but I don't wish them well.

Rather than marry a man shared by everyone, she'd rather marry the wild boy in the village with no parents.

Sure, the wild boy is poor, but he dies young!

Once he's dead, she can ride the wave of reform and opening up, use her system to become a beautiful young widow, and live the good life. Besides, he's from a bad class background, lives nearby, and should be easy to handle. He's not bad-looking, either! With her current appearance, it's anybody's guess who'd be getting the short end of the deal!

After thinking it over, Ni Xiangnan decides, unilaterally, that she's marrying him!

But after the wedding, Ni Xiangnan waits and waits...

She waits until he strikes it rich and leaves his old rifle behind for a new one. She waits until reform and opening up arrive... So why isn't he dead yet?

Looking at the man bent over to massage her feet, and the courtyard house they've just moved into,

Ni Xiangnan: Forget it. We already have two kids, and I'd have to raise them alone if he died.

Ji Rubei is reborn, back in the darkest period of his life. Fortunately, his spatial dimension came with him. He plans to keep his supplies and live quietly for a few years, only to discover that the goods inside are gradually disappearing. A thief!

After confirming that the missing supplies are connected to the production brigade leader's lazy, gluttonous, fat daughter, Ji Rubei corners her.

Before he can even demand an explanation, she speaks first: "Marry me, and I'll have my dad find your grandmother an easy job."

Ji Rubei looks at the chubby girl bundled up like a dumpling, with only her eyes showing, and scoffs to himself. What a joke. Does she think he'd sell his looks?

"Fine!"

She's just a fat girl. If she wants to marry him, so be it. Once this period is over, he'll divorce her! Besides, he still hasn't figured out how his supplies went missing. And as for consummating the marriage? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But...

The chubby girl changes a little every day.

Her waist gets slimmer and her hips bigger. She deliberately wears clothes a size too small and parades around in front of him every day. Her exposed arms and legs are so pale and smooth that even the slightest touch leaves a red mark, and her face is downright bewitching.

She's doing it on purpose. It's absolutely deliberate.

Ji Rubei can't take it anymore. In the middle of the night, he shamelessly slips under her covers.

Since she's his wife now, wouldn't it be only right to do his husbandly duty?

[Mini Scene]

Years later, the now-famous Ji Rubei is being interviewed live on television.

Reporter: I've long heard that you and your wife are deeply devoted to each other, and that you fell in love on your own. You must have a token of your love, right?

Ji Rubei smiles, a rare sight: Yes, we do.

Reporter (excited): Would you be willing to tell our viewers what it is?

Ji Rubei: Two pounds of pork.

Viewers: ??

Ni Xiangnan: ??

#And thus the world gained a pork couple (not really)#

#I eat well and live well thanks to the beauty system#
