Ink-Stained Days of the Republic of China

Sang Jingyun transmigrates to Republican-era China and becomes the daughter of a down-at-heel merchant family, with creditors demanding payment at her door. Her father is an opium smoker, her mother has no backbone, and she has several younger siblings who are still growing up. Unable to afford enough to eat, Sang Jingyun picks up her pen and writes herself a splendid future. Reading Guide: 1. A farming-and-family-life story, mainly about the heroine writing novels, building wealth, and working toward a comfortable life. It also covers everyday family matters and features a variety of supporting characters. 2. The male lead is a devoted fan of the heroine. 3. The story is set in Republican-era China, but contains no historical figures. All characters are fictional, so please treat the setting as an alternate world. 4. Historical details are researched, but if information can't be found or the plot calls for it, things will be made up. 5. I like revising my work, and paragraph comments will be removed during revisions, so paragraph comments are disabled. Here's a preview of my next planned novel, a lighthearted, silly story about the male and female leads swapping bodies: The Tyrannical CEO's Darling Wife After Xie Jingjun works herself to death from overwork, she wakes up in the body of a man named Xie Jincheng. Xie Jincheng is a spoiled rich kid. After failing to get into high school in China, his father sent him abroad to earn a diploma. Just after graduating from college, he learns that his father has died and rushes home, only to die in a car accident. When “Xie Jincheng” wakes up in a hospital bed, the soul inside his body has already been replaced by Xie Jingjun. Being a man takes some getting used to, but there's a huge family business waiting for her to inherit... Xie Jingjun happily returns home, takes over the family business, works hard, grows the company, and becomes a famous, eligible CEO. Just then, Xie Jincheng appears before her, occupying the body she had in her previous life. Xie Jingjun makes Xie Jincheng her assistant, then discovers he can't make coffee or print documents. He gets thrashed at video games, is picky about food and clothes, and has a chaotic sleep schedule. She can't stand him, but he is using her body. Xie Jingjun lets Xie Jincheng play games in her office, buys him expensive food and clothes, and makes sure he goes to bed early and gets up early... Everyone at the company watches their cold and ruthless CEO indulge the new, hapless beauty in every way, and they're stunned. A classic domineering-CEO romance is actually playing out right before their eyes! CEO Xie, wake up! That woman is useless at everything except looking pretty. How did you let her charm you so completely?! Reading Guide: 1. A fairly short, silly story. The male and female leads swap souls and never switch back. 2. The heroine is the domineering CEO, and the hero is the darling wife. Theme: No matter how bad things get, never give up.
