My Childhood Sweethearts in the 1990s

A story about a sweet, slow-witted childhood sweetheart and her three childhood friends.

A gentle beauty heals a cunning little wolfdog

Just after finishing her college entrance exams, Wenrou transmigrates into the eldest daughter of a two-income family in the 1970s. The upside is that her parents from the 1970s look exactly like the parents she lost in a car accident as a child, and she also has a cute younger brother and sister.

The downside is that their family has to answer the national call and send one person to the countryside. Her parents want to give her their jobs, but the factory manager's son sabotages them. Her thirteen-year-old brother even tries to falsify his age and go in her place, but she refuses. She has only two choices: go to the countryside or get married.

Of course she's going to the countryside! She knows the college entrance exams will be reinstated in two years, and her parents will send her money every month. She only has to hold out for two years before she can get into college and leave.

But she never expected to meet Shen Yu in the countryside, the future legendary scientist whose reputation is a mixture of praise and blame, and whose identity has always been a mystery...

The man who appears in the news is dignified and refined. He's nearly seventy, yet still stands tall and carries himself with grace. But... could this pitiful-looking boy, always sporting a bruise, shorter than her, and gazing at her with damp puppy eyes, really be Shen Yu too???

Wenrou's heart softens. She thinks she might as well look after him a little, at least make his childhood less difficult.

She doesn't notice that the little puppy growing up by her side has already become a wolfdog lusting after her. The scheming man even uses his pitiful appearance to win her affection and scare off her other admirers.

By the time she realizes what's happening, he's already made himself part of every aspect of her life, helping her grow under his protection.

Bonus scene:

One day, a male youth sent down to the countryside, who has been pursuing Wenrou for a long time, finds Shen Yu. "Can you stop clinging to Wenrou under the excuse that you're her neighbor's kid brother? Don't think I can't see through your little schemes!"

The boy, always gentle and harmless in front of Wenrou, gives him a provocative smile and says maliciously, "What does that have to do with you, idiot?"

The enraged young man punches him, but instead of dodging, Shen Yu lets himself fall to the ground.

"Why did you hit him?" Wenrou rushes over and shoves the young man away, furious.

"Sis, don't blame him. He just wants me to stay away from you because he's afraid I'll drag you down. It's all my fault for being useless and needing you to look after me." The boy's damp eyes turn slightly red, his pitiful gaze utterly innocent.

"Get out of here! Don't ever come looking for me again!" Wenrou, usually so mild-tempered, loses her temper for once.

The young man collapses in despair...

... Upcoming book ...

A story about an ambitious gold-digging heroine who works hard to get ahead.

Fenghuang was born in the countryside. While she was still in her mother's womb, a fortune-teller declared that her destiny was beyond precious. Her family was half-convinced, but a series of auspicious signs around her birth made them believe the fortune-teller completely.

On top of that, she was lovely as a child, and grew up to be so beautiful she seemed otherworldly.

So even in the countryside, where the belief that boys were more valuable than girls ran deep, she was cherished like no other. She was valued even more than the eldest grandson of the Feng family.

The family's indulgence and constant praise gradually made her feel she was destined for greatness. She firmly believed she was no ordinary person.

One day, she would soar to the heights she was meant to reach, like a true phoenix.

Fenghuang is proud, and countless boys like her, but she doesn't spare them a glance.

A trip to the capital completely changed her outlook.

It was only in the capital that she saw what true paragons were like. Even the beauty she'd always been proud of seemed provincial and crude by comparison.

But that didn't discourage her. Instead, it made her blood race and her ambition soar. This was where she belonged.

She may be beautiful, but she's not stupid. She knows how to use the advantages heaven gave her, and one day she'll get everything she wants.

Content warnings:

1. The heroine isn't a virtuous person who is indifferent to fame and fortune in the conventional sense. She loves money, has ambition, and works hard to climb higher, but she isn't a bad person either.

2. The heroine grows over the course of the story. At first, the constraints of society make her think marriage can change her fate. Later, she comes into her own and realizes that relying on herself is the only way.

Theme: Live positively and grow toward the light.
