A nimble, craft-loving girl who adores handsome faces vs. an all-around, hypocritical, devoted heir

[Blurb]

Ruan Xinyue landed a job as a wardrobe assistant at a theater thanks to her Cantonese embroidery skills. She happily toured the country with the troupe, all expenses paid, becoming the envy of everyone. But fate had other plans: she was killed on the spot by an object falling from a great height!

When she awoke, she discovered she had transmigrated.

A sickly woman! A pale, frail child! A house bare of everything!

Worse still, inside the house a vicious, unscrupulous debt collector was forcing the weak, helpless "her" to repay the debt with her own body.

As if that weren't enough, the Cantonese Embroidery System she'd been bound to also joined in the chaos. If she failed to complete its tasks, her life points would drop to zero.

Unwilling to be sold and determined to take charge of her own fate, Ruan Xinyue had no choice but to fight to save herself.

And so the Cantonese embroidery master Ruan Xinyue made a dazzling debut, bringing her embroidered works with her.

Unfortunately, when she asked one tael of silver for each Cantonese-embroidered handkerchief, the owners of the clothing shops either cursed her or chased her away. They were so blunt they didn't even bother with passive-aggressive remarks:

"What kind of rubbish Cantonese-embroidered handkerchief costs one tael of silver apiece? Have you even looked to see if it's worth that much!"

Undeterred, Ruan Xinyue took her handkerchiefs to the finest clothing shop in the capital.

Sure enough, the moment she brought them out, a commandery princess snapped them up at a high price!

From then on, Cantonese embroidery products were flying off the shelves!

Three taels of silver for a handkerchief? You'd better hurry! First come, first served!

A hundred taels for an outfit? You'd better buy it! Place your order in advance!

A thousand taels for a Cantonese-embroidered painting? Every one was gone as soon as it hit the market! The demand far outstripped the supply!

And the status of Cantonese embroidery's founder, Ruan Xinyue, just kept rising.

First, she became the darling of noblewomen and young ladies.

Then she became an honored guest of the royal family and nobility.

She even became the object of the newly crowned top scholar's marriage proposal.

Ruan Xinyue, who had earned more than enough life points, said her secret to becoming a winner in life was "Cantonese embroidery."

P.S.:

1. This is a fictional setting. Everything serves the plot, so don't overanalyze it.

2. A slow-burn story. The male lead appears late.

3. Both leads have no prior romantic or sexual experience, and it's a one-on-one romance.

A beauty who plays the pig to eat the tiger vs. a cold-faced, warm-hearted hidden big shot

[Blurb]

Su Minglan, a fighting champion, transmigrates into an era novel as a tragic cannon-fodder character. Her awful parents sell her for an exorbitant bride price to a wife-beater who murdered his former wife. From the start, she is so desperate that she tries to kill herself.

She can play the innocent, act like a scheming flirt, crush thugs, and make money. Why should she put up with this cannon-fodder fate?

The wife-beater and her awful parents conspire to force her to accept her lot by getting her pregnant before marriage?

Su Minglan kicks the wife-beater right in the family jewels!

His agonized screams ring across the whole village, and he is sentenced for hooliganism, clutching what remains of his manhood.

The villagers look at Su Minglan's bright, exquisite face: Minglan is so delicate and beautiful, yet so brave. Good for her!

Her awful parents, who witnessed everything, tremble in fear: Minglan's gone mad!

Living in the flourishing 1980s, Su Minglan discovers business opportunities everywhere in town.

To successfully break away from her awful parents and their household, she enters a marriage of convenience with Xiao Bei'an, a hidden big shot with a disability in his hands, and sets off on a prosperous path to wealth.

Making a fortune is just as expected, but married life turns out to be different from the mutually beneficial arrangement she imagined...

Didn't the book say Xiao Bei'an was gay?

But the way he looks at her...

Sometimes his gaze is deep and inscrutable!

Sometimes it's blazing with affection!

Before long, his eyes and heart are filled with nothing but her!

Su Minglan, who can't resist a devoted, handsome man, has to call a halt. "Uh... buddy, can we switch to a different character and keep acting?"

Xiao Bei'an, who is simply being himself, looks confused. "Acting? What are you talking about?"

Su Minglan immediately turns into a sex-ed doctor and gives him a ten-thousand-word lecture full of suggestive language, explaining that "homosexuality is a normal sexual orientation, and accepting it is the only way to live a happy life."

Xiao Bei'an listens, blushing furiously, then gets so angry he snaps, "Who the hell likes men?" That very night, he proves beyond a doubt that women are what he likes.

The next day, Su Minglan rubs her thoroughly battered body. "...This bug is way too big!"

P.S.:

1. One-on-one romance. Both leads have no prior romantic or sexual experience.

2. The characters' values in this story do not represent the author's own.
