The Good Life in the Seventies

The novel next door, The Pampered Beauty of the 1970s, is now underway. Its blurb is at the very bottom. Come take a look ^3^

[The author's first book. The writing is inexperienced, so enter at your own risk!]

Blurb:

As an ordinary office worker, all Yan Xi did was work an overnight shift. When she woke up, she found she had transmigrated to the 1970s. Yan Xi could only say, "Seriously, WTF?"

"Wasn't being a wage slave good enough? Wasn't a monthly salary of 7,000 good enough? Why did I have to end up here?"

Yan Xi woke up to find herself in 1969, an era when everyone was dirt poor and the campaign to send people to the countryside was in full swing.

After transmigrating, she found another way forward. Instead of suffering in the countryside, she stayed in the city to work, and could even run a little business of her own in her spare time.

Notes: ① The female lead does not go to the countryside. She works and lives in the city.

② A devoted couple, 1v1, happy ending.

③ Set in an alternate version of the past. Don't scrutinize the historical details.

④ Mostly everyday life, really very slice-of-life. If that's not your thing, enter with caution.

⑤ The author's first book. The writing is rough and amateurish, so please proceed carefully.

⑥ Typos and bugs will be fixed after the book is complete. (I don't have time to fix them yet, so please bear with me.JPG)

The Pampered Beauty of the 1970s: Blurb

An adorable, sweet-natured beauty vs. a gentle, scheming wife-pampering fanatic

Part 1

The Gu family and the Yan family lived very close to each other, with just one household between them, and they had always gotten along well. Since their families were already so close, Gu Lao'er and Yan Lao'da thought it would be even better to become relatives, so they arranged a childhood betrothal for their children.

Xue Rong had known since childhood that Gu Yiheng would be her future husband. She stuck close to him every day, calling him in her soft, sweet voice, "Brother Yiheng."

When she was eight, Xue Rong heard her mother say that her aunt's husband was awful and didn't cherish her at all. She cried as she ran to find Gu Yiheng, grabbing his right hand tightly with her chubby little hands and sobbing, "Uncle is so mean. He doesn't cherish Auntie at all. Brother Yiheng, you won't be like that when we grow up, right?"

Gu Yiheng, who was only nine, nodded solemnly and said, "Mm. I'll cherish Rong Rong properly."

Only after she grew up did Xue Rong learn that cherish could mean something else, too.

Part 2

"Brother Yiheng, they're so rich! We'll make lots of money someday, too, right?" Xue Rong looked at Gu Yiheng with hopeful eyes.

Later, Gu Yiheng would place huge sums of money in front of her.

"Brother Yiheng, people in the city are so impressive. They don't have to farm, and they even get to eat rationed grain."

Later, Gu Yiheng became a doctor at a city hospital and brought Xue Rong to live in the city, where they ate rationed grain every day.

When the girls of Xue Rong's age in Qingxi Village learned she had moved to the city, they were green with envy.

Yan Xue Rong: perfectly ordinary, a master at keeping her husband in line

Notes: ① The early story takes place in the countryside; later it moves to the county town.

② The early story is set in the 1960s, but most of the plot takes place in the 1970s.

③ Set in an alternate version of the past. Don't scrutinize the historical details.

④ 1v1, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

Theme: Hard work will eventually pay off.
