Novel blurb: It took Ji Xianglan only one night's sleep to travel from 2222 to 1966.

Fine, she'd transmigrated. But the problem was that her family, the Ji family, was about to be framed by a villain and sent to a farm for reeducation. Her fiancé, the male lead, believed the rumors and broke things off with her in the name of justice.

To save herself, she immediately dismissed all the servants in her household.

Then she personally started digging a hole in the cellar to bury gold, silver, and jewels. At the same time, her parents from the book were doing the exact same thing...

Watching her father, who was supposed to be left-handed, use his right hand, and her mother, who was terrified of bugs, say she wanted to deep-fry the earthworms they'd dug up, Ji Xianglan nervously recited a password: What's 666 squared?

They answered in unison: 443556!

Looking at her father, a master of engineering in a great power, and her mother, an agricultural economist, both of whom had transmigrated too, Ji Xianglan suddenly felt hopeful again.

Her efforts to save herself ended with her marrying the son of one of her father's old friends. The good news was that although the man was rough around the edges, he was handsome and elegant. The bad news: he was the book's great villain.

Ji Xianglan: ...My life is on the line. Who cares about heroes or villains? They're no big deal.

The great villain would oppose the male and female leads and eventually be killed by them.

Ji Xianglan: ...Don't panic. Where there's a will, there's a way!

To stay alive, Ji Xianglan kept herself busy opposing the male and female leads at every turn! Why? Because she was fiercely protective of her own!

Married life wasn't rich or luxurious, but at least she never went hungry.

It turned out this rough man didn't dig in the dirt for a living. He dug for mines. Not only did she join the army, but he also brought her parents along with him to an island, where they all lived happily.

They went from a barren island with nothing to one furnished with everything they needed, including furniture and food. Not only did she avoid an early death, she lived better and better. Even her beachcombing skills improved by the day, and they lived more comfortably than the fishermen. They gathered wild produce in the mountains and seafood along the coast, eating better than people in the city.

Years later, whenever people asked Lu Wei why, among so many women who liked him, he had chosen that little flower in particular, he would say, "What's there to explain? I just couldn't stand to see her suffer."

"The Pretty Pilot Lost Her Memory in the 1960s"

Upcoming: Please follow "The Pretty Pilot Lost Her Memory in the 1960s"!

Qin Mumu was the lead female pilot of a twin-engine, single-wing aircraft. After a flight around the Pacific, she transmigrated into a novel about a major industrial project in 1960s China.

The problem was that the moment she transmigrated into the book, she lost some of her memories.

In the book, Qin Mumu was a tragic supporting character in a story about a major industrial project. Her father drowned after exhausting himself trying to rescue someone from the water. Her mother raised her and her younger brother alone by working odd jobs, but her brother died young after failing to endure their poverty. When Qin Mumu was eight, her mother sent her to live with her aunt and help her cousin with her studies. She was abused by her aunt's family, who even pressured her to give up the college entrance exam despite her excellent grades. But there was always a way forward: she enlisted and entered a preparatory aviation school, where she was assigned to train as a navigator. Just as things seemed to be getting better, she miscalculated the wind angle during a flight exercise, causing the pilot to make a wrong judgment and crash.

Though Qin Mumu had just transmigrated and instantly lost her memory, she reacted to danger on instinct and went beyond her duties to save herself, violating flight regulations and earning a suspension from flying.

Qin Mumu was barred from the flight line and ordered back to the classroom to study flight theory alongside the male recruits.

The other cadets had little faith in Qin Mumu, who had been held back a year. Her record as a navigator showed average grades and average courage, and everyone feared her poor teamwork would drag them down and keep them from graduating.

Qin Mumu paid no attention to the rumors. She even applied to study a double major: navigation and piloting.

Everyone: ???

It was enough if she could be a good navigator and handle ground crew work. She actually wanted to become a female captain?!

Qin Mumu had always believed in action over talk. She not only came first in both subjects, but also surpassed the men in endurance during military physical training, excelling in both brains and brawn.

Everyone: !!!

Qin Mumu, who had once been the slowest learner in her unit and needed three times as long as everyone else to learn anything, had suddenly become a top student with exceptional aptitude. The explanation? Losing your memory can make you improve.

However, Qin Mumu and the genius cadet Li Chen didn't get along at all.

Li Chen never spoke to Qin Mumu, and whenever he took a simulated aircraft test, she would break his record. Why? Because jealousy makes people ugly.

Until one day...

When she saw their marriage contract, the memory struck her like lightning. Li Chen had been rescued by her father, which was why he and the original Qin Mumu had been engaged. Every year, their parents took them separately to a photo studio to take pictures and exchange them. Because the aviation school had a five-year ban on dating, the two of them were only too happy to remain polite and distant, acting like strangers even more than ordinary comrades.

Just as the original Qin Mumu was about to graduate and join the military, ready to hold a farewell dinner, she transmigrated into her body...

Remembering how she had responded to Li Chen's many provocative looks, she went: .

If she told him she'd really lost her memory, would he believe her?

Later, the two competed to become the top pilots. There was no distinction between men and women, only who could fly better! Renowned for having eyes as precise as a ruler, she used her flawless skills to carry out one special flight mission after another.

Her name as China's top female pilot gradually spread across the globe, making her world-famous.

Later still, after a sea rescue mission, Li Chen's plane crashed and he went missing. She handled his affairs as his fiancée and even attracted many admirers, but then he returned in a fury...
