Flirting with the Top Male Lead in a Period Novel [The 1970s]

Xia Tian, a spoiled and headstrong third-generation rich kid, accidentally transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era.

No TV, no phone. The dull life in the countryside is driving her crazy.

Then one day, a truck arrives in the village, bringing a group of educated youths sent down to the countryside.

A man in work clothes steps down. He's handsome and dignified, like a god.

Flirt with him! Go for him!

From the first moment she sees Yin Hao, that's all Xia Tian can think about.

They say chasing a man is as easy as tearing a layer of gauze, but Xia Tian thinks Yin Hao's more like industrial-grade sandpaper. Even after pulling out all eighteen of her best flirting techniques, she can't get him to look her way.

But while all this is going on, Xia Tian discovers people and things that are even more interesting.

Isn't making money more fun than chasing men?

Meanwhile...

Tattletale #1: Hao-ge, Hao-ge, did you know Xia Tian once jumped into a river for a man? Well, that man is back now! Don't worry, she'll definitely stop pestering you!

Tattletale #2: Hao-ge, Hao-ge, Xia Tian just passed by the entrance. She didn't even come in to see you. She must be looking for that man! Don't worry, she definitely won't come here again!

Tattletale #3: Hao-ge, Hao-ge, Xia Tian went into town today to pick out her wedding trousseau. I heard she went with that man! Don't worry, she's definitely given up on you for good!

Everyone expects Yin Hao to be relieved, but he can't sit still any longer.

Late that night, he stops Xia Tian and corners her. His eyes full of sorrow, he asks, "Why didn't you come see me?"

Premise: Only you know what it's like to be in your own shoes.
