The Villain's Mother Returns to the City in the 1970s

Next novel: "Painting Skins to Ascend in the Cultivation World"

---Synopsis---

Only after Zhang Dafang dies does she discover that she's a minor character, mentioned only in passing, in a novel about a powerful man's doting love. Her husband abandons her, and her children are the novel's male and female villains.

Her scumbag husband fakes his death to climb the social ladder, abandoning his wife and children to become the son-in-law of a factory manager. Meanwhile, her wicked mother-in-law torments her day after day, all so she can sell Zhang Dafang and her children for a good price and rid her son of this thorn in his side.

Now that she's awakened to the truth, she's certainly not going to let this family torment her into marrying an abusive man and becoming a live-in nanny to his children.

She'll start a small business and get rich little by little, until she's a wealthy woman in her own right. Tsk, you looked down on me yesterday, but one day you'll be out of my league!

Please check out my upcoming novel, "Village Couple in the City, 1990s." I'd also love it if you followed my author page.

Mu Xiaoyue is reborn and finds herself lying in a ten-square-meter rented room in an urban village. Her husband has spent fifty cents on a bunch of vegetables and is cooking at the three-square-meter stove they've set up on the balcony.

Two bowls of white rice and a plate of greens make up their entire meal.

With the power out, the couple only has to eat one meal for their clothes to become soaked with sweat.

If they don't change their lives, they'll still be cramped in this place by the time their child starts school.

The elderly people back in her hometown who raised her are growing frail, a child is on the way, and the couple can barely make ends meet.

Poverty wears a couple down in every way. Damn it! This time, she's going to get rich.

Please do me a favor and use your lucky little hands to add it to your collection. A respectful bow, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports me.

"Painting Skins to Ascend in the Cultivation World"

Lu Xiaoshuang, an art student, transmigrates into a cultivation novel where everyone depends on "skin refinement" to cultivate. Once they lose their own skin, they can never cultivate again.

She's a cannon-fodder character in a cultivation novel, born with a beautiful, flawless skin. Unfortunately, the female lead sets her sights on it.

The female lead, who is "devoted to the Dao and determined to defy heaven," schemes to strip the original owner's skin away.

Wearing the original owner's skin, the female lead pursues the Dao, becomes everyone's darling, and ascends to immortality.

By contrast, the original owner, deprived of her skin, survives with the help of secret medicine but becomes a hideous, skinless monster.

Without her skin, she loses her chance to seek cultivation at an immortal sect and loses her health as well. Plagued by illness all her life and abused by others, she lives a fate worse than death, ultimately dying nameless and forgotten in an empty hut.

Meanwhile, wearing her skin, the female lead advances again and again. She forms a golden core as soon as she joins a sect, then turns around and forms a nascent soul. She enters a secret realm, and an immortal artifact and spirit plants choose her as their master. Before long, she's reached the Spirit Transformation stage and become famous throughout the land!

After transmigrating, Lu Xiaoshuang looks at her bloodied face. To survive, she can only try painting herself a skin to wear.

Her hands sweep across the paper with a brush, and a pretty little girl appears. She drapes the skin over her body, and in the next moment, her face looks perfectly normal.

Lu Xiaoshuang: !

Hey, as long as you've got skillful hands, painting a skin is no big deal. Easy!

But can someone tell her why a skin painted on paper lasts only a little while? And why can't it get wet?

Rain pours down, and before long her nose and face are all crooked. A friend passes by, cries, "A ghost!" and runs off as fast as they can.

Lu Xiaoshuang: ...

To paint good skins, she has to find spirit plants and spirit-beast extracts. Once she's got good skins, she'll absorb spiritual energy faster!

Wait, what would happen if she painted a layer of skin on this pill furnace? And what if she painted a layer of skin onto a magic tool while it was being forged?

This medicine seems to have a pretty high failure rate. What if she paints a layer of skin and tosses it into the furnace?

When the furnace opens, every pill is perfectly round and plump. Whatever she paints on the skin is exactly how the pills turn out!

Her friends see her skin absorbing spiritual energy as if it were tangible, and gather around her. "Xiaoshuang, could you paint one for me?"

Lu Xiaoshuang nods. "Sure!"

Her brush flows like water, and in an instant, it's done.

But wait, what the heck? Why did she paint the neighbor's Er Gouzi?

Lu Xiaoshuang rubs her chin, a little awkwardly. She clears her throat and says, "With my current skills, this is the only kind of skin I can paint! How about we make do with it for now?"

Her friend's face stiffens as they put on the dog skin. They turn around, and spiritual energy flows through them in five-colored light. Whether they're walking, eating, or lazing around, their bodies cultivate on their own.

Damn, being Er Gouzi is great! Only a fool wouldn't want to be Er Gouzi.

Woof! Woof woof!

Wait, the neighbor's Er Gouzi is chasing after them. Does it look like he's trying to find a wife?

Help!!!

Theme: Keep going, and you can turn any adversity around.
