[Main story complete] Blurb:

Bai Jianian had been proud and aloof since childhood, and could never be as meek and obedient as other men.

Since he had spent years in business and often appeared in public, people had plenty to gossip about:

"He has no virtue as a man. He's a fallen flower, and he'll never find a husband."

Later, he took in a lazy, gluttonous, arrogant wife, and people laughed at him even more.

Who could have guessed that one day his wife would suddenly turn over a new leaf? She stopped chasing actors and courtesan beauties, and stopped wasting her days eating and drinking with her rowdy friends...

Instead, she began to dote on Bai Jianian, treating him like no one else in the world.

Later still, his wife passed the imperial examinations and became the youngest third-place graduate in history.

Bai Jianian became the most envied man in all of Great Qin.

Excerpt 1:

Su Wenyun never imagined she would transmigrate into the body of a live-in wife.

Determined to be an independent woman of her time, she immediately refused three times:

"No! I won't! Absolutely not!"

But...

When she saw the legendary beautiful husband, proud and aloof, devastatingly handsome and tragically ill-fated, Su Wenyun could only say...

"Help me up. I can still go for it!"

"The doctor says my stomach is weak. I can only live off my spouse."

Good heavens, he's gorgeous!

To win back her beautiful husband, Su Wenyun rolled up her sleeves and threw herself into studying for the imperial examinations.

"Jianian, don't worry. I'll earn you an honorific title."

Excerpt 2:

At first, Bai Jianian was full of hope for his future wife, but she eventually broke his heart.

Just as he decided to close his heart and never love again, he realized his wife had changed completely.

"What? You boil the tea leaves? No wonder it tastes like soup. Isn't steeped tea so much better?"

"Your makeup is made with lead powder? That can really poison you!"

"You make all your clothes yourselves? They don't have any proper shaping at all. Do you think I earned my title as a high-end fashion designer for nothing?"

"..."

From then on, the Bai family's teahouses, cosmetics shops, cloth stores, taverns, and restaurants became famous throughout Great Qin, drawing in hordes of officials, nobles, and members of the imperial family.

The Bai family's doorsteps were worn down by visitors.

In the end, the Bai family's wealth kept growing like a snowball, making them the richest family in Great Qin.

As for Su Wenyun, she stayed behind the scenes, letting her achievements speak for themselves.

Bai Jianian: Were you pretending to be a fool to catch your prey all along?

Extra scene 1:

At a flower-viewing banquet by Jinming Pond, Bai Jianian stood alone as people pointed at him, mocking and sneering.

Su Wenyun arrived a moment late. Under everyone's astonished gaze, she ran happily toward Bai Jianian...

Her hands were full of amber candies, spun-sugar candies, smoked plum pastries, jade-belt cakes, and all kinds of other treats.

"Jianian, Jianian, I found all your favorite pastries! You didn't eat breakfast, so don't go hungry. Which one do you want? I'll feed it to you~"

The shimmering waters of Jinming Pond reflected on the woman's peerlessly beautiful face. The doting love in her eyes made countless men secretly so jealous their eyes turned red.

After transmigrating, modern heiress Su Wenyun takes living off her husband in stride, while doting on him and punishing scoundrels as she makes her way to the top!

Miss of the Republic of China Transmigrates to the 1980s [Book Transmigration]

Ning Xiang, a voice-acting powerhouse, transmigrates for the first time as a socialite heiress in the Republic of China.

By the tenth year of the Republic, Ning Xiang has fully adapted to the era, and is graceful and elegant in everything she does.

When disaster strikes, she gives her life for her country, but accidentally transmigrates once more, this time as a spoiled villainess in the 1980s.

The original owner pulled strings to join an arts troupe. Though she had a beautiful voice, she knew nothing about vocal technique, and was unceremoniously rejected by the theater group.

She was stiff and uncoordinated, unable to do even a simple split, and was kicked out of the dance troupe.

With no way out and desperate to avoid being married off by her son-preferring parents, the original owner gritted her teeth and forcibly kissed Regiment Commander Lu, who was famously chaste and aloof...

Ning Xiang, after transmigrating: I have something to say. Is it okay if I say it?

Ning Xiang was at a loss, so she rolled up her sleeves and set about improving her situation.

She discovered that the original owner's voice was exactly like hers in her previous life: she could switch at will between eighteen different vocal styles, from a sweet, soft girl's voice to a commanding older woman's voice, a bewitching beauty's voice, a cute little girl's voice, and all sorts of irresistibly sexy voices...

Her experiences in the tenth year of the Republic had made her a master of all kinds of skills, including piano, dancing, tea appreciation, and flower arranging.

What's more, the original owner looked almost exactly like her in her previous life as a young lady in the Republic of China.

Back then, she had been known as the Rose of the East.

[Reading notes]

1. The female lead was malnourished, so her face hadn't fully grown in. Once it does, she will be stunning. Her past life in the Republic of China taught her all sorts of elegant ways to show off, and she is always proving her critics wrong.

2. The male lead is aloof and extremely chaste. Once he gives in to desire, he becomes like a ravenous wolf and never wants to be apart from her.

3. Fictional Republic of China setting.

4. This blurb is provisional and may be revised. The gorgeous beauty from the Republic of China and the voice-actor character will remain.

Theme: Stay true to yourself, and don't change because of gossip!
