Blurb:

Xu Qingyu had a dream. In it, she learned that she was actually a cannon-fodder character in a doting romance novel.

She was the male lead's "fiancee," but when he fell into a coma, she ran away from their wedding. In the end, not even her bones were left behind.

The female lead was her complete opposite: gentle, kind, virtuous, and considerate. She won the male lead over with her sincerity, and the two of them lived happily ever after.

But Jin Qiuyue had transmigrated into this world. The real Jin Qiuyue's soul had long since vanished.

When Jin Qiuyue was eighteen, her mother brought her to the city. Anxious, delighted, and uneasy all at once, she tread carefully in her mother's home, doing her best to be dutiful and hardworking, afraid of making things difficult for her mother or annoying her stepfather.

She never expected her mother and stepfather to want her to marry a man in a vegetative state. She cried and protested, refusing to agree, but they locked her up.

Just as she was utterly desperate and ready to take her own life, her stepfather's daughter came home. That girl risked everything to help her escape from that "home."

On the train, the girl named Xu Qingyu took her hand and said, "Your life is your own, and so is your fate. Even if other people won't let you live, you have to find a way to make a life for yourself."

Two female leads. A story about two girls who go from strangers to sisters, supporting each other along the way.

My next novel is I Work as a Machinist in a Period Novel: Xu Lingshuang transmigrates into a novel she's read, becoming the female lead's foil.

The female lead works hard and diligently, while she shirks, cuts corners, and loafs around.

The female lead studies hard and strives to improve every day, while she acts flirtatiously and gets jealous over love rivals.

The female lead has a harmonious family and a happy romance, while Xu Lingshuang's father dies and her mother remarries, and she is eventually abandoned by her husband.

Xu Lingshuang arrives just as the original owner's fate is about to take a decisive turn.

Her father died in the line of duty, and the factory offered her two jobs: one as a worker on the shop floor, and the other as a waitress at a guesthouse.

Factory work is dirty, difficult, and exhausting, with machines as your constant companions. Waiting tables pays well, is easy, and carries more prestige. Anyone could tell which job to choose.

Recently, a stunning beauty arrived at Hongyun Machinery Factory. As lovely as peach blossoms, she immediately declared that she would become the factory's best machinist, drawing laughter from everyone.

Could a pretty young woman like her really stand being around machines all day and smelling of machine oil?

Later, Xu Lingshuang not only became the factory's best machinist, but the best in the whole country. She took part in countless major projects.

Ying Hongguang was an overseas Chinese who had returned from abroad. To help him find a partner, the organization had finally persuaded him to attend a matchmaking event.

He planned to show his face and leave as soon as he could, but the moment he entered the venue, he was captivated by a young woman surrounded by a crowd.

From then on, Ying Hongguang, who had always been cold and aloof, untouched by worldly concerns, began asking his coworkers how to pursue a young woman who loved being a machinist.

The original novel's male and female leads are not vilified. Everyone works hard and improves together.

Other upcoming novel: Growing Roses in the Nineties

Yang Jingjing started from nothing, going from a poor student who had to take out loans to pay for school to a successful businesswoman with several million to her name. Then a car accident sent her back to 1988.

She became a young widow whose husband had died.

This was an era full of business opportunities. With her keen eye, Yang Jingjing made another million.

Now that she had money, her family started worrying about her future, too.

Who would have thought Yang Jingjing would take a fancy to a man with a modest salary?

Her family asked why she'd chosen him. Yang Jingjing answered without hesitation, "He's handsome and gentle."

Her family said, "Good looks don't put food on the table. You should marry someone capable."

Yang Jingjing said, "I'm capable and can earn money myself, so a handsome face can put food on the table for me."

Her family said, "You need a man who can shoulder responsibilities. What's the use of being gentle?"

Yang Jingjing said, "Gentleness is worth a lot. Who doesn't like a gentle breeze on their face? A gentle beauty can make even a hero lose his way. If men can find gentle beauties, why can't I find a gentle, handsome man?"

From the first time Yang Jingjing saw Bing Xuesong, she had her eye on him. She wanted to pluck this gentle, lovely rose and grow it in her own garden, keeping it just for herself to admire and enjoy. Just as it says in The Little Prince, she wanted him to become her one-of-a-kind rose, belonging to her alone.

A powerful female CEO and a gentle, understanding beauty
