The Social Queenpin [The 1970S]

Blurb: The social butterfly: Yun Tuantuan isn't the prettiest girl in the village, but she's the most popular. The shy Mr. He: He Zhiyi is a burden his father doesn't love and his mother doesn't care for. Fortunately, he doesn't love anyone either. One is a pork butcher who knows how to promote herself, makes friends everywhere, and reliably earns ten work points. The other is an antisocial, homebody city youth who struggles to socialize and can barely earn five work points even when he tries his hardest. One knows exactly what to say to anyone, has plenty of tricks up her sleeve, and is highly capable. The other doesn't care what anyone thinks, speaks only when necessary, is a neat freak who takes care of his family, and is highly skilled. This is really just a love story between a socially adept tough woman and an antisocial, technically skilled man.

[Seeking advance readers for Weisheng [The 1970s]] Blurb: Weisheng stared in disbelief at the college entrance exam admission ticket from 1978 in her hand, utterly bewildered. Everyone knows that the years when the college entrance exams were reinstated were like a battlefield. She has barely arrived and already has to go to the execution ground, or rather, sit for an exam... Is this really something a person should have to do? Either she overcomes every obstacle to take the exam, or she gives up her place so her brother can afford his betrothal gifts. That was the original owner's dilemma. But as someone who has transmigrated here, she has only one choice: take the exam... there's no other way! Faced with everyone's doubts, Weisheng boldly declares, "It doesn't matter whether I get into college. I just love... taking exams!" Everyone who hears her has the same thought: She's seriously out of her mind! But she really shouldn't have spoken so soon! Because these are the words Weisheng most wants to take back after arriving in the 1970s again and preparing to burn the midnight oil for the 1977 college entrance exam... ~ The digital-life space-time where Weisheng lives has collapsed, and as a digital life, she has no choice but to survive in other timelines. To obtain a body of her own, she makes deal after deal with the natives of each timeline, fulfilling all their regrets. Her assignments include, but are not limited to, repeatedly taking the college entrance exam, avoiding scumbags, resisting family pressure, returning to the city to live, and reuniting with relatives... and so on, and so on! [Seeking advance readers for Thirteenth Year of the Republic of China] Yiyan stands in an old Shanghai alley in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, suitcase in hand, and witnesses her young grandfather abandon his wife and child, while her grandmother desperately begs him to stay. Holding the great-uncle who was nearly stolen away, she meets the curious gaze of her father. Yiyan thinks to herself: "Hello, Father. I'm your hundredth birthday present. I'll raise you alongside Grandmother." Don't worry. I don't like Schrodinger's cat, or Hering's grandfather paradox. I only like... Reading guide: 1. This story is set in a fictional world, with some original elements. It focuses on everyday family life. 2. A short, simple slice-of-life story. Both leads have strengths and flaws. The heroine isn't powerful, the hero isn't weak. They're ordinary people, not perfect characters. 3. The author's writing is limited. The writing in the first three chapters is what you'll get throughout, with no sudden leaps in quality. 4. You can't please everyone, so please don't post lists of potential dealbreakers, especially based on your own personal preferences. Chapters 1-3 should be enough to decide whether to continue; there's no need to force yourself. Kind words can warm someone through the coldest winter, while cruel words can hurt even in the height of summer. We're all descendants of the same ancestors, and might even have been one family five hundred years ago. Please consider offering encouragement instead of criticism. 5. No need to give writing advice. It would be like playing music to a cow (the author), and wouldn't help much. 6. The author tends to use emoticons, but will try to use fewer. Habits aren't easy to pick up, but they're even harder to break. What I can promise is that every chapter will have a bit more text, so emoticons won't become an "extra charge." 7. Thank you all for your support and for enjoying the story. This book will go premium on May 8. I hope you'll continue to support it. ~ Theme: Give someone a rose, and its fragrance will linger on your hand.
