★ A clear-headed, independent, thoughtful heiress vs. a passionate, devoted, affectionate hunk
①
Zhang Wanning has something to say about Song Nanzhen, the future richest man in the world.
At first, she thought he was aloof, but he did cook really well.
So she stuck to him every day, hoping to get special meals and extra snacks.
But for some reason,
after she once happened to see his eight-pack abs and even touched them,
he started looking at her in a stranger and stranger way.
Zhang Wanning got a little scared and decided to lie low for a while.
One dark and stormy night,
just as Zhang Wanning was leaving a friend's house, Song Nanzhen stopped her, their faces close together.
"Are you going to flirt with me again?"
The man's deep voice carried a hint of seduction.
"No, no! I wouldn't dare, even if you killed me!"
Zhang Wanning was practically raising her hand to swear an oath.
Later...
The two of them met again in a little grove.
Song Nanzhen: "You flirt with me and then try to run?"
Zhang Wanning: ...No, I didn't. Don't make things up.
②
As the heir to a renowned fragrance house, Zhang Wanning is always either tinkering with fragrances or creating and testing perfumes. This time, she even went abroad to research various fragrance ingredients and came back with a haul of premium materials.
Then, after a plane crash, she transmigrated into a novel set in a bygone era, becoming a brainless supporting character sent to help build up the countryside, and the heroine's foil, no less!
The heroine is hardworking and capable, while she's lazy and loves good food.
The heroine is adored by the whole village, while she's scorned and despised.
The heroine marries a big shot in the military, while she marries a local hooligan.
The heroine is clever and selfless, leading the whole village to prosperity, while she's stupid and selfish, hurting everyone, including herself.
Then, out of envy and jealousy, she keeps tripping up the heroine and plotting against her. In the end, she's set up, breaks her leg, marries the hooligan, and eventually throws herself into a river, bringing her absurd and miserable life to an end.
Having learned how her story ends, Zhang Wanning says: "I value my life, so I'll stay away from the leads. Why not focus on my fragrance business? That sounds great!"
Wait, why did her inborn pocket dimension come along too? This smooth-sailing start is so exciting!
And there's a future richest man with a face like a god in the village, too. It doesn't get much better!

★ Marriage First, Love Later ★ A Match Made in Heaven
①
Jiang Yuzhao transmigrates into a book, becoming the most miserable fake heiress in a sweet and satisfying novel.
After draining her of all her worth, her adoptive parents decide to bundle her off to Song Yanli, the book's main villain.
Jiang Yuzhao: "..."
What did she ever do to deserve this?
The original owner's fate:
√ Get mercilessly face-slapped by the reborn true heiress heroine.
√ Become a laughingstock after competing for the male lead's affections.
√ Be manipulated by the leads and win a lifetime stay in a little black room.
Jiang Yuzhao: "..."
Her eyebrow twitched again and again as she swallowed the auspicious words almost spilling from her mouth.
To stay alive, Jiang Yuzhao immediately clings to her villainous husband's leg.
Competing for affection? Face-slapping? Let anyone who wants to perform do it. She's going to coast to victory!
②
At a birthday party for a close friend, Jiang Yuzhao catches sight of someone beneath the dazzling lights.
He stands tall and dashing, a gray suit jacket casually draped over his fair, slender arm.
When the man turns around, she sees a face with features as sharply defined as if carved by a knife and chisel. But the most breathtaking thing about him is his pair of bright blue eyes.
He's simply too beautiful for this world.
A hundred times more handsome than the European and American stars she used to follow in her previous life.
That fleeting glimpse hits the bull's-eye of her ideal type.
Jiang Yuzhao's heart stirs. Lifting her skirt, she walks over with a bright smile and raises her glass of red wine. "Hey, handsome, would you mind telling me your name?"
Looking at the radiant woman before him, Song Yanli clinks glasses with her unhurriedly. "Song Yanli."
Jiang Yuzhao murmurs under her breath: ...
Why is his name exactly the same as the wealthy husband I've never met?
"Could it be that I'm him?" The man raises an eyebrow, smiling faintly.
"How could that be?"
Jiang Yuzhao laughs awkwardly as she backs away.
Unexpectedly, he pulls her into a room and holds her captive in his arms. He brushes aside her misty hair and whispers by her ear, "My Zhaozhao, are you coming home tonight?"
Their bodies press close, and the air grows stifling. Jiang Yuzhao hears her own breathing and her heartbeat growing faster and faster.
Jiang Yuzhao: ...Well, damn. Help.
When she doesn't answer,
Song Yanli pushes her onto the sofa, braces his arms on either side of her, and looks down at her. "Hmm?"
Jiang Yuzhao swallows reflexively. "...I'll go."
Does she even have a choice?
③
No one knows that strange memories keep appearing in Song Yanli's mind.
In those memories, a bright, dazzling girl appears in his life, helping him through the pain of losing his family and standing by him as he rebuilds his life... Later, she tells him to learn to let go, keep hope in his heart, and embrace the world.
After waking from the dream, Song Yanli learns to embrace the world, but he can never learn to let go.
Deep within Qing Shan Temple, he keeps a lamp burning. Day and night, he kneels in sincere prayer, making two wishes: first, that the girl be safe and happy; second, that he might trade his life for the chance to see her again.
In his midnight dreams, he has already traced her image in his mind tens of thousands of times.
Yet Heaven takes pity on him, and fate smiles upon him.
His sincere prayers receive an answer.
Looking at her radiant figure in the distance, he trembles, holding himself back. "Welcome to my world."

[Reading Guide]
1. Both leads are devoted to each other; transmigrate into a book + reborn.
2. It looks like a marriage-first, love-later story, but the plan has been in motion for a long time.
3. The setting is fictional, and the plot is over-the-top. Please don't read too much into it.
Theme: Be self-reliant and work hard to build a better life.
I don't know how I saw it, but it looks pretty good and the logic is pretty good, except for the vague sense of age in some places.
"Hope is hurt" is a big bug for the author~
What we are saying is, don't be too kind, hahahahaha
Ahhhhhhh, so friendly. The author has been a bit diligent lately. I like it?
Faster, faster, more. I'm waiting.
I couldn't wear cheongsam in the 1970s. After the epidemic ended, I gradually developed my own personal style in dressing. It was around the 1980s that I started wearing cheongsam again. During the □□ period, people wore very simple clothes, and even had to have patches on their clothes. Rich people had to make patches even if their clothes didn't have patches, just to prevent others from reporting capitalism.
"Injury" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ on hand
Some chapters end with the beginning of the next chapter, The words will be repeated for a long time, which is a bit speechless. Secondly, it's all over, The plot seems to still focus on the little girl, annoying!
The protagonist is very sweet. Replenish your subscription and finish the second brush 💪💪
Is this... A little bit intellectual and blind? No, no, no... There should be fewer female supporting roles like this.
