Blurb:
In her previous life, Cheng Xiaozhen failed the college entrance exam and, through an introduction, married Liu Zhihua.
She thought that if she gave up on her dream of college and married dutifully, life might not be perfect, but it could never be too bad.
Who knew her husband would become a drunk and squander all the family’s savings, then, when she was suffering a difficult labor, resolutely say, “Save the baby!”
“Doctor... My family has had only one son for three generations...”
Cheng Xiaozhen wanted to laugh. But as she laughed, she began to cry.
Reborn, she happened to be home when a matchmaker came to call.
“Xiaozhen, you’re not getting any younger. Why not find someone and get married? This man is quite good. His family has had only one son for three generations, and he’s their only child...”
“Get out!”
Cheng Xiaozhen glowered, grabbed a broom, and beat the scumbag until he hit the dirt.
She had planned to persuade her family and stand firm in her determination to study. But because of an issue with her academic records, she uncovered a shocking secret: she had never failed the college entrance exam. Someone had impersonated her, gone to college in her place, and become a university student...
Given another chance at life, Cheng Xiaozhen decided to live differently.
Those grades were hers, and that college place was hers. Whoever dared steal them would have their claws chopped off.
As for the man whose family had only one son for three generations, whoever wanted him could have him!
She gets into a top university, builds her wealth, acquires a factory and becomes its female director, and meets the man who waited for her her entire life in her previous one...
Only then does Cheng Xiaozhen realize that life can be lived in an entirely different way.

As the daughter of a factory director, Liu Lili used her father’s influence to switch her college entrance exam scores with Cheng Xiaozhen’s.
She had it all planned out: change her name, go to college, then change her name back during her first year.
Wasn’t Cheng Xiaozhen beautiful? Wasn’t she always number one? It must be awful not getting into college, right?
Just imagining Cheng Xiaozhen looking dejected and miserable made Liu Lili wake up laughing from her dreams.
She never expected Cheng Xiaozhen to know everything!
She had only been in college for six months and hadn’t had time to change her name back before the police came to arrest her and her father!
Life in prison was hard. After finally serving her sentence, Liu Lili stared in shock at the brand-new food processing plant in front of her.
Someone told her the factory no longer belonged to the state. It was Cheng Xiaozhen’s personal property.
When the factory director arrived, everyone bowed and scraped.
Liu Lili stood still, so someone smacked the back of her head and pushed her down into a bow.
“Are you an idiot? Call her Director!”

The industry’s hardest-working actress, Wei Ying, transmigrates into a book and becomes a washed-up, minor celebrity with the same name as her, famous for staging accidental collisions to get attention.
Wei Ying: Yes! At last, I can relive those carefree days of getting away with everything because I’m a nobody!
Every day, the actress Wei Ying happily spends money, spends more money, and spends even more money. She goes bar-hopping, sleeps with pretty young guys, and shops to her heart’s content.
Until one day, after paying a pretty young guy an “outrageous” fee for the night, she blows through the original owner’s entire savings.
A live-streamed dating reality show lands right in front of Wei Ying.
Wei Ying: “There’s money? And free food and lodging?”
After weighing her options, the actress Wei Ying packs her bags and joins the show to make money (and do the bare minimum).
Working hard is out of the question. She spent her previous life working herself to the bone, and it nearly killed her.
People fear fame the way pigs fear getting fat. Being a nobody is just fine for this life.
What Wei Ying never expected was that even a lazy couch potato could become a sensation.
After appearing on the variety show, her follower count soared in the strangest way.
Wei Ying became a household name, with endorsements, variety shows, and acting offers pouring in.
Even the once top-tier star, Xu, was willing to become a pretty young guy for love.
Wei Ying: “I can accept everything else, but can I return the ‘pretty young guy’?”
Who could have guessed that the great Actor Xu would be the final straw that drained the original owner’s savings? qaq
*
The dating show officially begins.
As the guests make their entrances, the actresses compete to outshine one another, as if they could weld their flawless, dewy makeup onto their faces. Wei Ying doesn’t bother with styling. She throws on a shirt and shorts and heads out bare-faced.
Audience: !!! Who’s that?! Sis looks incredible without makeup!!!
The contestants are told that the winner of the challenge will get to stay in a luxurious suite.
The guests scramble to secure a room, getting filthy in the process.
Wei Ying lounges around like a couch potato, watching a puppy tumble about.
“Puppy”: Have you no manners?
When the director announces that Wei Ying’s team came in first and will stay in the luxurious suite,
Wei Ying: “Don’t ask. I just got lucky!”
This is the story of a stunning beauty with incredible talent and unbelievable luck who lies flat like a lazy fish, yet still becomes a sensation in the entertainment industry.

Title: Raising Kids in the Compound in the 1970s
Blurb: In her previous life, everyone envied Su Yu for her good fortune. Her husband was a regiment commander, her in-laws came from a prominent family, and while other women were still worrying about having children, Su Yu was already ahead of the game.
She had not only raised two sons and a daughter of her own, but had also adopted the three orphaned children of her husband’s comrade. With children and grandchildren all around her, many people called her the luckiest woman in the compound.
Su Yu’s response: Whoever wants that kind of good fortune can have it!
There were lots of children in the family, and they were all rambunctious boys.
Other people measured their meals by the bowl. Her family measured theirs by the pound. A whole vat of grain would be gone in less than three days.
The boys were mischievous, climbing trees to steal eggs and diving into the water to catch fish. Their dirty clothes piled up like a small mountain.
Su Yu sat alone on a little stool, washing from sunrise to sunset.
At long last, when the children were all old enough to go to school, Su Yu hadn’t even had time to catch her breath.
One day one of them got into a fight; the next day another caused trouble. Every time she went to the teachers’ office, the teacher’s face was longer than a donkey’s.
Su Yu would bow and scrape, apologizing carefully, making her way from one end of the office to the other...
Reborn, Su Yu returned to ten years earlier. Her youngest daughter had yet to be born, and her husband had just brought his comrade’s three orphaned children home.
Looking at the five unruly kids standing in front of her, all clamoring to be fed, Su Yu knew it was too late to get a divorce. She decided to try a different approach to raising them.
*
When Zhao Shinian returned from battle, he found that the whole household had changed.
The eldest was massaging Su Yu’s back, the second had just brought over a bowl of noodles, the third was busy cleaning the house, the fourth sat on a little stool washing the family’s clothes, and the fifth was telling a story to Su Yu’s belly...
Zhao Shinian washed his hands and was about to sit down to eat.
The eldest said, “Dad, you haven’t done any work yet! Mom says only kids who work get to eat.”
Zhao Shinian said, “But you’ve already done all the work. I didn’t...”
The fourth stood up and pulled out a stack of clothes. “Dad, my little sister is about to be born, and her clothes still need to be washed and dried.”
Zhao Shinian looked pleadingly at his wife.
Su Yu said, “If you don’t want to do the laundry, that’s fine. Tomorrow I’ll find someone who does want to wash clothes and work hard!”
Zhao Shinian: “!!!”
In the end, Regiment Commander Zhao gave in.
The burly man picked up a little stool and sat beside the fourth child.
Zhao Shinian said, “Son, scoot over. Dad’s running out of room.”
Well, he was still his own father. The fourth child reluctantly scooted his little bottom over twice.
Su Yu sat inside, holding her belly and laughing to herself.
The children need to be taught, but the man who wouldn’t lift a finger at home even if an oil bottle fell over needs even more teaching!

I really cried when I read the copy. I thought you were writing about my dad. He has the same name, even alcoholism and domestic violence.
??? I like the original owner, even though the heroine is most likely the original owner, it still feels quite magical.
High school classmate? Age difference?
What a rubbish agent, I feel like I have everything planned out with ease, but when I look at it in reality, I see it is full of loopholes.
From the current point of view, Qiao also has a good sense of cp.
"One piece" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ one room
It's really immersive. If my mother could have her life again, she wouldn't be with him again.
Depend on! Zhou Ling is so disgusting! He actually held back the assistant's money! Isn't this something that can be reported?
They say they are not biased, but in fact they show double standards in their actions.
This is very annoying for such parents
