The Delicate Little Wife of the Seventies

★[A sweet, romance-focused treat. Come give it a try!]

Novel blurb:

Xu Xiaojiao was passing the time by reading a story set in a bygone era. When she woke up, she had transmigrated into the book as a cannon-fodder character.

The original Xu Xiaojiao, a cadre's daughter, had been sent to the countryside, only to discover that she was a fake heiress, switched at birth. Then the real heiress, Xu Yanyan, set her up, and she was caught in bed with Song Weiping, a penniless orphan with no family, while a crowd looked on. Amid one disaster after another, she was killed off in a hurry.

Before bed, she'd thought, "What a dummy. A man as capable as Song Weiping is such a catch. He's going to be a business tycoon, rich, handsome, and unmarried. Having him as a roommate would be great. I'd coast to an easy life."

When she opened her eyes again, she was in bed with Song Weiping, staring straight into his eyes.

Then came a knock at the door, followed by Xu Yanyan's excited voice. "Sister Xiaojiao, are you in there?"

!!!

Xu Xiaojiao looked at Song Weiping's expressionless face and immediately equated him with a lifetime of free meals. "Let's get married."

Xu Xiaojiao was immensely satisfied with married life. She only had to give orders, while Song Weiping did all the work.

She thought she was the perfect wife. In public she was his sweet little darling, and in private she was his good roommate. Life was blissful.

And Song Weiping?

He got her a bicycle, a big wristwatch, and a big color TV, making everyone green with envy. He took her to catch fireflies, see movies, and shop, making her beam with happiness.

Then, at last, he pinned her to the bed.

Xu Xiaojiao's eyes widened. "S-Song Weiping, I thought you couldn't?"

Song Weiping looked at his beloved wife, whom he'd spoiled into a little darling, his voice hoarse.

"Why don't you find out?"

[Blurb for the upcoming novel, The Happy Life of a Cannon-Fodder Beauty in the Seventies. Click to read!]

In her previous life, Zhu Chenxi only learned after she died that she had been living in a novel called The Seventies: Straight to the Top. Her whole family was destined to be cannon fodder.

A lazy father, a sharp-tongued mother, a meek older brother, a lovesick older sister, and foolish little her.

Their greatest claim to fame was in the memories of the villagers.

"Just look at Qingyun now, making something of himself. The Zhu family has no luck. If their eldest daughter had married him, the whole family would be living in luxury!"

"That's right. The Zhu family scrapes by working the fields. They're not destined for a better life."

When she opened her eyes again, her family was sitting in their mud-brick house, counting their entire fortune: fifty yuan.

The eldest Zhu daughter, her sister Zhu Chenxia, was beaming with excitement. "Let's use that money to give Qingyun a gift. Mom, Dad, if he really gets into the factory, I'll be a worker's wife, and I'll make sure the whole family enjoys the good life!"

On this day in her previous life, her father had said they were finally going to hold their heads high, her mother would be able to throw her weight around in the village, and Zhu Chenxi had nodded along and voted in favor.

This time, she said nothing. As she watched the whole family nod and start dreaming about their happy future, she slapped her hand down over all the money.

"Don't give it to him. Give the money to Big Brother instead."

Her mother was the first to object. "Your brother's a man of few words. You couldn't get a peep out of him if you hit him with three sticks. How could he become a factory worker?"

Thinking of someone, Zhu Chenxi nodded. "He can."

Let Liu Qingyun and his family of ungrateful wolves get lost.

**

Zhu Chenxi steered her family away from petty people and toward virtuous men. The virtuous man in question was none other than their neighbor, Gu Yaoyuan. As their family began to prosper day by day, she came to think even more highly of him. The more she'd hated his nagging in her previous life, the more she loved hearing it now.

But little by little, she realized something was off about him.

Zhu Chenxi: I thought of you as a virtuous minister, but you want to be my man?!
