I Was a Beauty in the 1980s

Jiang Shihao was a pretty but talentless actress who coasted through the entertainment industry on her looks. She could do a little of everything, but wasn't a professional at anything. Then one day, she transmigrated into a coarse countrywoman in the 1980s.

The pampered Jiang Shihao was utterly devastated.

She tried to feed the pigs and cried when they scared her!

She tried to herd the cattle, but they ran off!

She tried planting rice seedlings and fainted in the field!

Her in-laws deeply regretted bringing such a wife into the family and tried every which way to get her divorced. But then her husband, who had gone to the city to become an educated intellectual, suddenly came back and said, "If you don't like it here, come to the city with me."

And so Jiang Shihao returned to her old line of work.

As she danced up a storm to girl-group music at a club, basking in the familiar cheers and applause, her husband, Yi Cenchuan, a stuffy and straight-laced man who should have been studying at school, suddenly appeared with a group of underlings and cleared the place out.

Yi Cenchuan stubbed out his cigarette and looked at her with an amused, knowing smile. "Go on, dance. Why'd you stop?"

He had the aura of a big shot in the underworld.

----New Novel Coming Soon: A Chance to Win Back My First Love

The year Jiang Zhili turned twenty-nine, she finally gave in to the pressure, went on a blind date, and agreed to marry someone she barely had any feelings for.

Everything was ready. On the night before the wedding, Jiang Zhili tossed and turned, unable to sleep, filled with regret.

As she anxiously scrolled through her phone, she happened to click on an ad and got the chance to win back her first love.

According to the ad, if she succeeded, she could rewrite her life and avoid being pushed into marrying someone who was practically a stranger.

Her first love?

Jiang Zhili thought of the man she'd dated for three months in college. They'd broken up in a rush because they were both so busy with school. She vaguely remembered that he'd been a decent guy, and she wouldn't mind dating him again.

But when Jiang Zhili found herself holding a love letter in the corner of a high school hallway, watching Duan Lian'an grin carelessly at the girl in front of him and say, "Date me? Sure."

Jiang Zhili's eyes widened in shock. She clenched the love letter, her mind blank. Does a one-sided crush count as a first love?
