The Return of a Comparison-Group Overseas-Born Female Lead with a Tycoon System [The 1980s]

[The entire story has been rewritten. Please give it another try!] Overworked office drone Ge You unexpectedly transmigrates to The 1980s, into a novel about a lucky heroine, as her foil.

In the original story, the heroine is her cousin: gentle and kind, she tolerates and reforms her scummy relatives, helps a handsome, wealthy stranger on the road, and eventually marries into a rich family. With one casual investment, she helps her whole family prosper and generates millions in profits.

Ge You, by contrast, returns from Hong Kong after losing money in the stock market. She's sharp-tongued and stingy, keeps her distance from the oddballs around her, and has outdated investment know-how. Her investments fail, leaving her broke and unemployed.

Her relatives only care whether she can keep making money. Her blind date looks down on her for being too old and always running around, as if she can't settle down.

The two women start businesses at the same time, and Ge You naturally becomes the foil. She's denounced as an unfilial daughter and an improper woman, and eventually meets a tragic end, beaten to death by her husband on the street.

The ending is truly tragic, but luckily she unexpectedly binds herself to a tycoon-investment System.

The System: “Angry? Furious? Want revenge? Then work your hardest to complete missions and slap them in the face! Spend money to deal with the heroine's whole family!”

Now that she's finally become a billionaire, Ge You would have to be crazy to get tangled up with the heroine's family again. Investing money is so satisfying, and being called “Boss” is even better.

Anyway, she has more money than she can spend, so Ge You decides to buy supplies here and acquire businesses there.

She provides state-owned welfare benefits and salaries for all her employees.

But her employees' gazes grow hotter and hotter. How did the factory that had been losing money for over a decade suddenly become profitable?

The newspaper is full of stories about her lately: “Without Factory Director Ge, I couldn't have afforded treatment for my daughter.”

“I work hard only for Factory Director Ge.”

So when the heroine's family, whom Ge You cut ties with, comes knocking, they discover, “Ge You didn't go bankrupt. She's become a factory director?”

“Ge You boosted the whole village's economy, but not for their family.”

When the heroine rallies her whole family and prepares to start a business, she finds that “This place belongs to Factory Director Ge.”

“That place belongs to Factory Director Ge, too.”

“The whole industrial park is funded by Factory Director Ge.”

When the heroine saves the hero, thinking he can turn the tide, he pulls away from her and looks at the man beside Factory Director Ge.

“Stop grabbing me. He's my boss.”

The System: “How did I end up slapping them in the face by accident?!”

1. A feel-good power fantasy set in an alternate historical period. Please don't nitpick the details.

2. A story born from the resentment of an overworked office drone. Please add it to your reading list.

3. The scummy relatives are the kind who harass educated young women sent to the countryside. The original heroine is a saintly do-gooder, and this story paints her in a bad light. Please avoid if that's not your thing.

The Top-Tier Star Twins' Wealthy Mom Is Reborn

*

Qiao Jiu is a world-famous superstar. She retired early, married a gentle and considerate college student with a white-collar job, and had adorable, well-behaved twin boys.

When she suddenly dies in a car accident, she learns that her story was merely the prequel to a book.

In the story, a no-name extra beats top-tier stars and tramples award-winning actors, breezing through life to reach the top.

And Qiao Jiu is the... mother of the two villainous top-tier stars, who died young.

Her older son has a blank face and a cold expression. All he can do when acting is count, so the production crew relies entirely on his investments.

Her younger son can't carry a tune, yet he releases new albums all the time and makes people pay to hear his awful singing.

The two take turns opposing the male lead, get slapped in the face at every turn in the entertainment industry, and eventually die tragic deaths.

Meanwhile, her husband, now worth hundreds of billions, gives everything for their sons and ultimately goes down the wrong path.

Qiao Jiu: ?

So why did her sweet, adorable twin boys turn out like that?

Now her younger son has just joined a production, where he's about to face off against the domineering male lead.

Faced with her hopeless son, she returns reborn and finally contacts the director of the production he's currently working on.

“I want to join the cast.”

The director: “Who are you?”

Qiao Jiu: “Your sister.”

As it happens, Qiao Jiu has two younger twin brothers.

When filming begins for Song Without Worry, an internationally renowned, highly respected director invites several popular actors.

One of them is the universally hated, blacklisted “Little Qiao Jiu,” who's constantly being told to get out of show business!

So filming has barely started when...

Netizens notice: “Those two have such awful tempers, and Qiao Jiu actually thinks she can control them.”

“LOL, is Qiao Jiu so deep in character that she really thinks she's the twins' mother?”

Later on: “Have these two been possessed? How could they possibly be so obedient!”

“Am I the only one who can actually see a bit of maternal warmth in Qiao Jiu?!”

--

When the butler advises Jiang Yan, “After Madam left, the two young masters haven't been doing well either,” Jiang Yan finally finds the time to pay attention to his two sons.

Then he sees them being completely led around by a woman in the entertainment industry.

He flies back to the country, intending to knock some sense into his sons.

Instead, he hears his usually calm and collected older son say, “Sorry, Dad. Mom hasn't forgiven you yet.”

And his lively younger son say, “Mom decided to give us another chance. Anyway, it's your fault for raising us so badly!”

Jiang Yan: ...Have they lost their minds?

It isn't until he sees the woman he's longed for day and night that he thinks, “Please give me another chance, too.”

Author: What could the kids have done wrong? Hahahaha!
