Here's a preview of an upcoming novel~
The Reborn Ex-Wife of a High Flier [The 1980s]
Country girl Lin Minjun follows her boyfriend back to the city and marries into a courtyard house.
Even after she's diagnosed with infertility, her mother-in-law's family treats her kindly, encouraging her to get injections and take medicine, try IVF, and search everywhere for folk remedies to help her conceive. Everyone praises her mother-in-law and husband for their kindness, saying she's lucky, that a sparrow has married into a wealthy family and landed in a nest of comfort.
Lin Minjun can only smile bitterly. Her life has already been ruined, and decades of seeking treatment have worn her down until she is barely human.
After a car accident on her journey to have a child, Lin Minjun thinks before she dies: If I could live again, I wouldn't marry or have children.
When she wakes up, she's on a train back to the city, and her husband from her previous life has also been reborn.
Her husband says, "Minjun, let's not have children this time. Let's just live our lives together."
Lin Minjun gently brushes his hand away. "Forget it. I'm tired."
She's determined to make something of her life!
A country girl may not know much, but she has a skillful pair of hands.
She sets up a food stall in the capital and sells the dishes of her hometown in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Rice noodles, glutinous rice cakes, and steamed rice with locust flowers; sour soup with yellow catfish, fermented chili fish, and potato cakes.
When people hear that Lin Minjun is going into business, they all laugh at the country girl for getting above herself, saying she'll come crawling back to marry into a wealthy family sooner or later.
Who would have thought she would really carve out a place for herself in the capital?
In her first year, she pays off her debts and has money left over.
In her second year, she closes her stall and opens a small shop, with business booming.
In her third year, she takes over a restaurant. With a mobile phone in one hand and car keys in the other, she becomes the most famous and beautiful businesswoman in the area.
When her former mother-in-law's family hears that her business is making money, they hurry over to propose marriage.
But what they see is a handsome man with striking brows and bright eyes standing beside Lin Minjun, holding a baby who has just turned one month old.
Lin Minjun smiles faintly. "I've just finished my confinement. Come celebrate with us when the baby's a year old."
Her ex-husband's entire family turns deathly pale. So which of them was the one who couldn't have children?
Theme: Put the greater community before the family, and work hard to build a better life
