Back in the 1990s, I Made It Big in Pengcheng

In her previous life, after the college entrance exams, Lin Miaomiao was talked into marrying an office director at the factory, a twice-married man, by her older brother and sister-in-law.

Less than two years later, the wave of layoffs came. Her husband's career went badly, and he started beating her.

With nowhere else to turn, she went to her parents' home for help, but they refused to care whether she lived or died, saying she was already married and no longer their responsibility.

After years of swallowing her grievances and giving in, she was eventually thrown out.

Luckily, fate was kind enough to give her another chance. She returned to the year her parents had just died.

This time, she wouldn't let other people push her along the way she had in her previous life.

She would live well, better than anyone!

Shen Zhilei had had enough of the hard life in the countryside, so he decided to keep his plans secret from his family and head to Pengcheng to make his fortune.

Who knew that at the train station he'd find Lin Miaomiao, who had run away from home?

The two traveled to Pengcheng together. Shen Zhilei had no education, so at first all he could do was haul bricks at construction sites.

Lin Miaomiao sold boxed lunches at the site where he worked during the day, then continued studying back at their rented room at night.

When Shen Zhilei had finally saved enough money to propose to Lin Miaomiao, she received her university admission letter.

Shen Zhilei was happy for her, but never got the chance to say the words he'd planned. As he turned to leave, Lin Miaomiao called after him: "Brother Lei, can we get married after I graduate?"

[Novel within a novel + entertainment industry + school life]

What do elementary school kids worry about every day?

Have they done their homework? Memorized their lessons? Or whether the woman with the stall outside school showed up today?

Looking at all the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around her, Su Guo'er once again confirmed that she'd really returned to the year she was eleven!

As a child, she used to wrap a bedsheet around herself and dream that one day she'd become a big star.

But reborn Su Guo'er knows that studying hard every day is the right path!

She also knows her family will go bankrupt in two years, so she needs to work hard at school and find ways to earn money in her spare time!

What could a kid like her possibly do to make money?

Then one day, she noticed that the magazines being passed around among her classmates seemed pretty popular!

Why not try submitting something???

Who knew it would actually work? Her grades were pretty good, too!

Some time later, her editor told her that someone wanted to buy the rights to her novel and adapt it into a TV drama!

And there was her pocket money!

During summer vacation, she visited the set as the original author, and the director spotted her and gave her a small role.

Hey! She became famous!

Just like that, she easily made her way into the entertainment industry!

Her relatives and friends couldn't understand it. Didn't Lao Su say the factory was going under and he'd moved back to his hometown to drive a taxi?

Why was he posting photos of trips everywhere every day? How had he made his fortune?

"You haven't heard? His daughter became an actress. That super popular TV drama everyone's watching right now stars her!"

"Really? Then I have to check it out!"

From then on, Su Guo'er's parents became the envy of all their friends!
