My Best Friend and I Became Doomed Sisters-in-Law [1990S]

After one night of heavy drinking, Mi Lan and her best friend Ye Qi transmigrated into a book. The good news: They had become sisters-in-law from a wealthy family in a period novel. They ate delicacies, lived in Western-style mansions, rode around in cars, and had servants waiting on them at home and outside. They'd practically landed in a life of luxury. The bad news: They were both destined to be cannon fodder. One was a stand-in for the older brother's unattainable first love, and the other was the younger brother's unreasonable ex-wife. The two of them huddled together and went over the plot. In less than three months, they'd both be written out. Mi Lan and Ye Qi looked at each other and said in unison, "Then let's not waste time. Let's make money!" Mi Lan brought her 996 work ethic to the role of the older brother's first-love stand-in, doing her job diligently. She made him feel so sorry for her that he stuffed bundles of cash into her little stash. Ye Qi took her unreasonable antics to new heights, crying, making a scene, and threatening to jump off a building. She gave the younger brother such a headache that he filled her safe with piles of heavy gold and silver jewelry. Once they'd collected enough money, just before the older brother's first love returned from abroad, the two best friends packed their little suitcases, grabbed their checkbooks, and hopped a flight straight to Hong Kong. The Four Heavenly Kings, handsome men, and gorgeous celebrity heartthrobs, here we come! They switched identities and lived it up in Hong Kong, having such a good time they forgot all about home. They ate, drank, played, and changed male models every day. They thought the good times would never end, but before long, the two gullible brothers came knocking. Mi Lan was forced down onto the big bed by the older brother. His hot breath brushed her neck, making it tingle, as his low, husky voice sounded by her ear. "Haven't you heard the saying? A man's heart is wherever his money is." Next door, Ye Qi was pinned against the wall by the younger brother, whose eyes were red. The man ground his teeth above her. "You swindled so much stuff out of me, and you still think you can run?!" [Reader's Guide] Two female leads, both in one-on-one romances with clean leads.

In it, she transmigrated into an era called the 1990s and became a young woman who, on the eve of the college entrance exam, was set up by her cousin. After spending a night with a man, she became pregnant out of wedlock and took her own life in despair. When she woke from the dream, she had become the girl who shared her name. Liu Zhichun touched her still-flat belly, caught between surprise and delight. She loved children more than anything! So what if she didn't have a husband? With her cooking skills, surely she could provide for a little one. She got right to it: first selling boxed lunches, then opening a restaurant. In this era of gender equality, she thrived. Dongpo pork knuckle, crab roe noodles, kung pao chicken, stir-fried liver tips, abalone and chicken-wing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and pork belly with preserved vegetables, the perfect dish to go with rice! Even diners with the pickiest tastes couldn't get enough. Once they'd tried these delicious dishes, they would never forget them. A food critic came by to sample her signature dishes. "Wasn't this dish lost to history?" A foreign guest at a state banquet gave her a big thumbs-up. "This tastes wonderful!" Her food business was booming, and she was on the verge of reaching the top. Then, out of nowhere, the child's father showed up. "Honey, had enough fun? It's time to come home." The diners stared in shock at the outrageously handsome man before them. What? The man behind Boss Liu was actually Film Emperor Huo! ****** Another Upcoming Novel Divider ****** You Don't Understand the Joys of Being a Female CEO [1990s] Mu Fangfei devoted her whole life to her career and built an enormous business empire. Then one day, she ran out of time before she could spend all her money. Who would have thought that after she died, she'd get a chance to be reborn, at the cost of being bound to a romance System? The System would send her back to age twenty-six, the year she first became a billionaire. The condition: she had to fall in love seven times within that year. Otherwise, her life would be taken a year later. Mu Fangfei: "I just have to date someone and then dump him, right? Compared to my life and career, that couldn't be easier." System: "Uh... The other person has to fall completely in love with you for the task to count as complete." Mu Fangfei: "...Are you messing with me?!" She'd never dated in her life, and now she had to make seven men fall madly in love with her in a single year?! It was an impossible task! The System shamelessly doubled down. "Just tell me, are you going to date or not? If you don't, you're as good as dead." Thinking of her career and fortune, Mu Fangfei gritted her teeth. "Fine!" It was only dating! If she could tear down the trade barriers between her country and the United States and help China join the WTO, surely she could win over a few men! Mu Fangfei firmly believed that there was nothing money couldn't buy. If there was, she just needed to throw more money at it. As long as she spent enough, winning a man's heart would be a piece of cake! And so, Mu Fangfei returned to the year she was twenty-six. Rich and beautiful, she lived freely, enjoying the flowers without letting a single petal cling to her. A gentle, attentive boy toy, an obedient puppy-like male model, a handsome and tough military officer, a top-tier star at the height of his fame, an arrogant and possessive cold CEO, a brilliant scientific genius... As long as they helped her complete her romance missions, she wasn't picky. Sure enough, in less than a year, Mu Fangfei completed the System's goal ahead of schedule. She thought she could get back to focusing on her career after finishing the tasks, but before long, all seven of her ex-boyfriends showed up at her door. "Didn't you say you wanted to be with me forever, just the two of us? Who are all those other men?" "Honey, how can you call someone else 'baby'? I'm your one and only baby." "You little vixen, do you think one man isn't enough for you?!" Looking at her ex-boyfriends, some heartbroken, some burning with jealousy, and some gritting their teeth in anger, Mu Fangfei felt a headache coming on. Dating had been so easy.
