A Young Bride's Married Life in the Eighties

★ My new book, The Foolish Beauty Reborn, is now serializing. Please add it to your collection!

★ Book blurb:

Tang Xiuxiu was born with fair skin and stunning looks, and was at the perfect age to enjoy life. She never expected to wake up as a cannon-fodder character with the same name in a period novel.

Her original self had been tricked by her stepmother and stepsister into marrying Lin Zhenwu, the village bully. Terrified, she had slowly waded into the freezing river on the eve of her wedding.

Standing in the river with the water up to her knees, Tang Xiuxiu, who had transmigrated into the book, turned around and shivered as she climbed back onto the bank. This time around, she was going to live the life of a feel-good novel heroine. Lin Zhenwu might be known as a good-for-nothing in Nanshan Village, but he was one of the first people to get rich. He was sharp and resourceful. First things first: she would work with him and get back the bride price his family had given her, which her scumbag father had taken.

Ahem. She hadn't expected the guy to be so handsome.

*

Lin Zhenwu was the village bully of Nanshan Village. He never expected the girl who used to run away whenever she saw anyone to start ordering him around so openly, as if it were only natural. He scoffed, thinking she was a walking nuisance, and decided there was no way he would agree.

"Lin Zhenwu, are you in or not?"

"What do I get?"

"How about a kiss?"

"...I'm in."

Her stepsister, Tang Yunyun, got her wish and married into the village Party secretary's family, happily waiting to watch Tang Xiuxiu suffer.

But she waited and waited, and things started to feel wrong. Her own life kept getting worse. Her in-laws disliked her, her husband didn't care for her, and the house was in chaos every day.

But Tang Xiuxiu...

Ever since she joined the Lin family, her in-laws had treated her like their own daughter. She didn't have to eat bran and wild greens separately from everyone else.

Her older sister-in-law came home every few days to bring her clothes and shoes.

Her younger sister-in-law treated her like a real sister and spoke to her from the heart.

As for Lin Zhenwu, he wanted his wife to see how capable he was, so he bought her a little wristwatch and a bicycle, and got a television and a small air conditioner installed. He pampered her until she was perfectly comfortable.

Before long, the entire Lin family had Tang Xiuxiu spoiled rotten.

Theme: Treat life kindly and enjoy it.
