A Buddhist-Minded Beauty Opens a Shop in the 1980S

Blurb: Tong Meilan returned to the family compound with a man, all dolled up and looking gorgeous. In less than half a month, she became the most talked-about person in the whole compound. "The young wife in the Dongfang family dresses like a floozy. She clearly isn't respectable." "That young wife has nothing going for her except her face. She won't do the laundry or the housework, and she barely looks after the child." "She's out from dawn till dusk every day. Who knows what kind of men she's fooling around with! And Dongfang is so blind, he treats her like a treasure." Tong Meilan sat on the sofa soaking her feet, and looked down at the man rubbing her legs. "Do I really not need to go explain things to them?" The man dried her feet for her. "You'd be better off spending that time on something worthwhile." One day, someone went into the city on an errand and discovered a particularly beautiful little building on the busiest street. The customers went inside, nervous and unsure, but all came out smiling. They even spread the word everywhere: This isn't a shop! It's a hope that benefits all humanity. If you're sick, just go there. Tong Meilan: Huh? I run a beauty salon, you know! The neighboring shopkeeper stared at the pretty little building, looking envious. "Other people do everything they can to get customers through the door, but her customers are practically rushing to give her their money. You just can't compare!" Everyone who saw Boss Tong's face was stunned. Wasn't she that young wife from the Dongfang family? So what if she doesn't have a secure job? She makes in one day what you earn in five years. Tong Meilan: "Sorry, it's not just five years' worth. They're paying me way too much." Coming soon: Marrying an Older Man Across a Thousand Miles [The 1980s] Jiang Zhiyu is a hugely popular actress. Her striking features and dazzling figure are breathtaking, and her talent leaves everyone else in the dust. She's a dancer on the level of a professional choreographer. Her singles shoot straight to the top of the charts, and she's won every major international acting award, earning her the title of a national treasure. Life offers her no challenges. But just after she won the world's most prestigious Best Actress award, on her way home in triumph... she died. Except she wasn't quite dead. She woke up inside a book. In the book, she's ignorant and foolish. She dislikes the man she's supposed to marry for being too old, and runs away with a pretty young man. He's useless and dirt poor, and he uses his good looks to trick her into becoming his family's unpaid servant. "Tsk. When you're young, you don't know how good an older man is, and you mistake a pretty boy for a treasure." Jiang Zhiyu: Hah. Serves her right! On the surface, Jiang Zhiyu sobs and cries. Then she casually kicks the pretty boy to the curb, turns around with a radiant smile, and boards a train bound for the far northwest to find her beloved older man. Dr. Lu, a genius scientist, has taken up a position in the far northwest under an assumed identity. His age on his official documents is ten years older than his actual age. To help him focus on his research, the organization specially assigns him a highly trained, all-purpose bodyguard to be his wife. The day they meet: Lu Qing'an: Why does my bodyguard look like a rich young lady? Jiang Zhiyu: Why does this older man look even younger than a pretty boy? What's his skincare secret? Premise: Hard work brings prosperity.
