Reborn in the Eighties: Making Money, Studying, and Everyday Life

[Upcoming novel: Priest and Him (Redemption). Please visit my author page and add it to your collection.]

Even among rural women born in the 1970s, Zhen Zhu's life was far from fortunate.

She was small and thin, with dark skin.

She dropped out of school in the second grade and began raising cattle, cooking, and looking after her family at an early age.

When it came time to marry, she was still naive and was introduced to a man from the neighboring village. She thought marriage would mean having someone to rely on, but instead, she ended up living a miserable life in a bitter village.

It wore her down until she fell ill in middle age, withered and desolate, and died full of regrets.

Before she passed away, one thought kept circling in her mind: If I could live my life over, I'd study hard... Whether I got married or not wouldn't matter!

When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn in the 1980s, just before dropping out of school in the second grade.

This time, she was determined to live her life over and make sure she did two things:

1. Stay in school and work hard enough to get into a junior college.

2. Earn a good living and support herself. Be careful about getting married.

But as she lived her life again, she found that things were gradually veering away from her expectations.

She hadn't realized how different the world of a top university in China could be.

She hadn't realized that life was about more than working, getting married, having children, and returning to a stable job in a small city.

The tides of the times surged, and the world's eyes turned to China. In this life, she was a child of destiny!

Many years later, when Zhen Zhu took her original clothing brand to the runway at Paris Fashion Week, the whole world marveled at this brand from the East, and even more so at the woman at its helm. They said she had impeccable taste, was confident and beautiful, and had built her success from nothing. She was an entrepreneur, a designer, an angel investor, and a protector of traditional culture... She was a true pearl of the East!

After traveling the long river of time and looking back, Zhen Zhu could always recall the two men who had become most deeply entangled in her life. One was like the moon in the sky, sometimes near and sometimes far. The other was like the sun on earth, always following close behind.

P.S.:

1. The heroine grows over the course of the story. Given her past life, she doesn't start out with lofty ambitions. She develops step by step.

2. Slow-paced, slice of life, farming.

3. Happy ending.

Priest and Him (Redemption)

Young Priestess X the man she heals

He lived in Shanghai's world of wealth and fame, surrounded by dazzling luxury and the flattery of everyone around him.

Then one night, he lost everything: his reputation, status, identity, and even himself.

He drifted downstream along the Lancang River and opened his eyes on a rocky riverbank. The first person he saw was her, riding an elephant.

She came from deep in the rainforest and took him with her to a place beyond the known world.

Life on the Yunnan border healed him.

Perhaps I am not your only follower, but you are the only goddess of my life.

One-on-one romance, happy ending.
