Synopsis
New book pre-release: "The Pretty Young Educated Youth of the 1970s." It's about a heroine who kicks her scumbag ex and reaches the peak of life through studying. (Blurb at the very bottom.)
Blurb:
Song Qingning is a newly famous designer. After dying from working late into the night, she transmigrates into a period novel as the doomed cannon-fodder character who shares her name.
The cannon fodder has had her fortune stolen.
Her stepsister pretends to be her and claims their relatives in the provincial capital, living a pampered life as a rich girl. Meanwhile, she has to make do with coarse food at home and drops out of school because her family can't afford it.
To secure her stepsister's position, her stepmother marries her off to a hooligan from a poor family in the neighboring village.
The cannon fodder refuses to spend her whole life farming. She makes a scene at the wedding banquet and dumps the "hooligan." By chance, she finds the Jiang family, but her stepsister interferes, so her birth mother refuses to acknowledge her. She eventually dies far from home.
The "hooligan" she abandoned so early, on the other hand, builds himself up over the years and becomes a new tycoon, just as powerful as the Jiang family.
When Song Qingning transmigrates into the story, the original owner has just ruined her wedding banquet... Song Qingning scowls and tears up the script.
What?
Why not latch onto a powerful man?
Song Qingning sneers. Does she need a man to deal with whoever she wants?
And she doesn't need a man to make a fortune and live a good life, either...
So what if she has to start over from scratch? What's there to be afraid of?
In the 1980s, with opportunities everywhere, isn't it better to make her own money?
Those who laughed at her watch helplessly as Song Qingning starts with nothing, gradually builds up her business, opens shops and factories, and helps everyone around her get rich. Her business flourishes, and money keeps pouring in.
In the end, she even turns her own design brand into an internationally renowned name, becoming the brightest local success story!
Wang Xiuer: After I met Big Sister Song, I got into university.
Boss Lu: After meeting Qingning, my family's traditional craft became famous.
Manager Chen: After partnering with Qingning, I got rich alongside her.
As for her legendary "husband," he's been away for years, only sending money home regularly and refusing to return for five years...
Song Qingning: Can life get any better than this???
But before long, the man suddenly comes back.
Song Qingning: How long are you staying this time before you leave?
Yu Yue: I'm not leaving. I'll work here from now on.
Song Qingning: Well... how about we find some time to get a divorce?
Yu Yue: ???

"The Pretty Young Educated Youth of the 1970s." Find it in the author's profile.
Blurb:
Engineering PhD Lin Xiangwan transmigrates into a period novel as the depressed young educated woman who dies by suicide, sharing the heroine's name.
The original owner could have gone to school in the city, but her boyfriend, Fang Yuanming, tricks her into accompanying him to the countryside. The scumbag abandons her without a second thought to secure a university recommendation, then hooks up with Li Cuicui, the village party secretary's daughter.
It's too late, but how could the original owner, hopelessly lovesick, give up? The two women tear each other's hair out over the scumbag. Fang Yuanming has a grand time playing both his new love and his old flame.
Just as the recommendation comes through, he returns to the city, leaving the two women staring at each other.
When Lin Xiangwan transmigrates into the story, the lovesick original owner has already followed the scumbag to the countryside... She's furious and tears up the script in an instant.
Since the scumbag wants to use connections to get ahead, she'll make sure he gets what he wants.
The next day, the village party secretary and a crowd of villagers catch the scumbag meeting secretly with the village beauty.
The secretary's son-in-law gets the position, but the university recommendation is out of reach.
When Fang Yuanming finally catches on, he tries to get Lin Xiangwan to be his fool again.
He doesn't believe that this pampered, brainless girl could last in the countryside without his help. Fang Yuanming is certain that all it will take is a little affection for her to cling to him again.
But the story takes a sudden turn.
The pampered girl becomes a beloved teacher in the village.
As soon as the scumbag approaches her, a gloomy young man grabs him by the collar, throws him out, and warns him: Stay away!
*
Lu Yan has always lived in a dark quagmire. Only when Lin Xiangwan appears does his life see light for the first time. He longs for her blazing warmth, wants everything about her, and loves everything she cares about.
When she wants to teach, he walks for nights along mountain paths to carry a blackboard to her, copies out her lesson plans, helps her discipline the mischievous village boys, and, of course, gets rid of the flies in her way.
After hitting a wall with Lin Xiangwan, Fang Yuanming scoffs: A bunch of fools. What's the point of studying? He keeps scheming for a university recommendation...
Then the college entrance exams are reinstated.
Lin Xiangwan and the students she has taught all get into university and leave.
The scumbag, who fails his exams, regrets everything: What did I miss out on?
Years later, a reporter visits the mountains to interview the village of top scorers, a place famous for producing gifted people, and discovers an astonishing secret: all the big shots studied under the same teacher!
Seeing that all her former students have made something of themselves, Lin Xiangwan has fulfilled her wish. She returns to the Academy of Sciences, intending to devote the rest of her life to chip research, just as she did in her previous life, overcoming technological barriers and serving her country.
But she has one problem: the pitiful little boy she once knew has gotten far too good at clinging to her!
The youngest CEO, who is regularly featured on the financial and technology news channels, blocks her way outside the research building late at night. He traps her in a corner, his devastatingly handsome face close to hers, and whispers enticingly: Xiangwan, don't think you can just use me and leave.
(Posting on June 21. The story will be starting soon. I've saved a screenshot, and you're welcome to support the pre-release!)

An Xiaoling is actually a spoiled child. There were big problems with her parents' education, which led her to this point. Children cannot be pampered blindly. If they are raised innocently and stupidly, society will make the children pay a bloody price.
Why did you just pass over all the good-looking things?
I thought I had only written the beginning of 410,000 words, but I didn't expect that it was all finished. It turned out that the other articles I had recently followed were too long.
Is that the case for the one named Sun? He should be allowed to pay! Now two women are facing each other, but he stays out of it. It's because of him that it happened.
It's so beautiful, why are there no comments?
Congratulations to the original knot! There are no bloody rivals, no blood-sucking relatives and friends (the best family members only appear in the first one or two chapters), and there is no career slogan. It is actually relying on the prosperity of the male protagonist. Although it is a book, there is no space to wait for the huge golden finger. It is really making a fortune silently, which is good.
The "unwanted tail removal surgery" is a big bug for the author~
Ah this, this! It's a bit embarrassing that there is suddenly too much ink in the supporting characters.
Hahahahaha, the boss is younger than expected!
"Sobriety" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Fortunately
