A Sweet Couple in the Seventies

[Please add my upcoming novel, Arranged Marriage in the 1970s, to your reading list!] 1. As a minor character in a period novel, Cheng Man was fairly satisfied with her life. She was born into a family where both parents worked. There were three children, and she was the only girl, so she got to finish primary school and go on to high school. After graduation, she landed a job as a waitress at a state-run restaurant. From then on, she had a respectable job and never had to worry about food or drink. Her one worry was that she had fallen for the soldier who often came to eat at the restaurant. He was young, handsome, single, and unmarried. Every time he came in, he ordered only a bowl of plain noodle soup and sat across from the counter to eat. She could see him whenever she looked up, and her heart would flutter. So here was the question: how could she woo the soldier without seeming too forward? 2. As a minor character who had no idea he was one, Lu Pingzhou was also quite satisfied with his life. He came from a military family, entered military academy at sixteen, and had already become a deputy regimental commander at just twenty-six. He was a rising star by anyone’s standards. His one dilemma was that he had fallen for a waitress at the state-run restaurant near his base. She was young, beautiful, single, and unmarried. Whenever she saw him, her eyes curved into a smile and her voice turned sweet. She had completely captured his heart. So here was the question: how could he invite her to the movies without being mistaken for a sleazy letch? Coming soon, please add to your reading list: Arranged Marriage in the 1970s Su Lin and Yan Sheng had an arranged marriage, and they shared few sweet moments while he was alive. She liked refined, thoughtful men, but he was crude in manner and rough around the edges. When he got serious, he could scare people half to death. But after he died, all she could remember was how good he had been to her: He had clumsily learned to cook for her, and warmed her feet in the bitter winter... In the quiet of the night, he had held her and told her he loved her, saying she could only ever be his wife. Yet his final letter to her said: May you have someone by your side for the rest of your life. Reborn, Su Ting returned to the first year of their marriage. She had not yet lost him, nor had she lost their child in an accident. There was still time to set everything right. The Short-Lived Wife of a Hong Kong Tycoon When Wen Yue woke up, she had transmigrated into a period novel set in Hong Kong, as the male lead’s ex-wife. She was given three pieces of good news and three pieces of bad news. Good news number one: her father was the current richest man in Hong Kong, and her husband was the next in line. Bad news number one: the original owner was a romantic by nature and looked down on her husband, a money-making machine who had risen from humble beginnings and cared only about wealth. She had been miserable throughout their marriage and eventually succeeded in making herself miserable to death within three years. Wen Yue had inherited the original owner’s lifespan, and there was only one month left until her third wedding anniversary. Good news number two: during her transmigration, she had acquired a Gossip System. Checking in with a gossip source earned her juicy secrets, and successfully digging up gossip gave her more life points. Bad news number two: digging up gossip alone was no use. She had to get others involved too. The more people joined in, the longer she could live. Good news number three: her family was wealthy, so she could easily check in with well-connected sources and uncover juicy secrets from the upper crust. She also owned a low-tier gossip magazine, with all the necessary equipment and staff. Bad news number three: after exposing all those rich people’s secrets, how was she supposed to avoid their revenge? Urgent. Waiting for advice online! * As the male lead of a classic period novel about rising through the ranks, Yi Huai’s life could be divided into two stages: Before meeting Wen Yue, he made money to satisfy himself.
