Coming soon: The Tenant Farmer's Daughter in the Tang Dynasty. Please add it to your reading list!
In the late 1950s, the elder Zhou couple left for Nanyang with their youngest daughter, who was still a baby, leaving behind their older daughter, Zhou Yayun, who had only just learned to talk, in their hometown of Bincheng.
Four years later, after making their fortune, they sent someone to bring their eldest daughter to Xiangjiang to enjoy the good life.
Her adoptive mother had an idea. She sent her own daughter in Zhou Yayun's place and kept Zhou Yayun behind.
Sixteen years later, Zhou Yayun finally returned to Xiangjiang. She was sweet and sensible, but after only a few years of living as a wealthy young lady, her second aunt married her off.
Less than three years later, she died young...
Zhou Yayun never imagined that when she opened her eyes again, she would be back in her fourth year in Xiangjiang.
With a grand gesture, Zhou Yayun put on the latest Paris fashions and, amid everyone's scornful looks, held her head high and truly lived like the heiress of a wealthy family!
On her first appearance in high society, she was photographed alongside the eldest son of the Lu family, one of the city's most prominent families. The handsome man and beautiful woman made the newspaper headlines.
Looking at the seemingly sociable Lu heir, who chatted with reporters while keeping everyone at arm's length, Zhou Yayun assumed it was just a chance encounter. She turned away and focused on fighting for the family fortune and building her career.
She never expected that, at some point, this man had begun plotting to win her over...
Half a year later, when Lu Tiance appeared before her as a suitor, Zhou Yayun blinked. "This is so sudden..."
Looking at this handsome, tall, stylish, and refined rising tycoon, the future richest man, Zhou Yayun schemed like a little fox and made her decision: I'll marry him!
After she moved into the hillside villa Lu Tiance had prepared for her and he spoiled her day and night, she came to understand what a deep, calculating, domineering man he was.
Whenever they were alone together, Zhou Yayun would sweetly beg him to go easy on her, trying to distract him: "When did you first take a liking to me?"
Lu Tiance's gaze darkened as he recalled the first time he'd seen her seven years earlier... But he said nothing. He only nibbled at her ear, his breath hot. "Guess. If you get it right, I'll let you go."
Zhou Yayun racked her brains but couldn't guess. Only then did she realize that he'd turned her little ploy into part of his own scheme, pinning her beneath him and coaxing her: "Good girl. If you can't guess, then hold on a little longer."
Her father's second wife secretly snickered. The eldest Lu son was a womanizer. With no support from her parents, how could he inherit and run the family business? His new wife, the daughter of the first wife, was in for a hard life, with endless tears ahead!
But after Zhou Yayun married him, Lu Tiance presented his entire fortune to her without hesitation. He spent a fortune at auction on a priceless necklace of jade and diamonds, and even the businesses on the mainland and the courtyard homes in the capital were all registered in her name!
Later, when Zhou Yayun scolded him coquettishly and the usually aloof Lu Tiance lowered his eyes with a smile, letting her chide him as he held her hand and softly coaxed her, the second wife froze in place!
Later still, as she watched her "son-in-law" top the Xiangjiang rich list year after year, she could no longer smile at all.

The next book is The Tenant Farmer's Daughter in the Tang Dynasty. Please add it to your reading list!
Lianzhi transmigrates, becoming the nine-year-old daughter of a tenant farmer who works for the Shen Duke's family, whose hundred-mile estate lies just outside Chang'an.
Lianzhi smiled.
She resigned herself to her new identity.
Under the blazing sun, Lianzhi put on clothes covered in patches.
With a little woven bamboo basket over her arm, she went to the fields to bring lunch to her father and brothers.
As her eldest brother swung his hoe, he reminded his second brother, who sat on the ridge between the fields, "It's 'zhi hu zhe ye'!"
Her second brother picked at his toes and shouted, "This pot, this night?"
Her eldest brother shut his eyes. His hoe nearly struck his own foot.
Lianzhi wiped her sweat and counted the days, wondering when the Lian family would be able to move into the city.
A slice-of-life farming story.
Family squabbles, the slow passage of days, and everyday food.
Theme: Work hard to shape your life. A hero's origins don't matter.
[Pink Heart] The next book is "Dressed as the Young Wife of an Era Boss", please collect it [Compare your heart] [Huang Xin] Wen Xing is a "professional" self-media author. Her job is to create various "love stories" that attract attention. In this Internet era where everyone is cleaning their manuscripts and originality is worthless, what to write next has become her biggest headache every day. The first time Wen Xing saw Wei Jingshen who had returned to China, he knew that sky-breaking traffic was coming. Wei Jingshen was as wealthy as his country, cold and stylish, yet gloomy and ruthless, and was intimidated by everyone in the business world. Although she is not young, there is no sexy news at all. Wen Xing is deeply interested in this. She spent time in the archives, looking through old newspapers and biographies, and discovered some unknown stories about Wei Jingshen. Wen Xing is very confident that once this article is written, it will become a hit on the entire Internet, with a traffic of 100,000+! Performance bonuses are endless. The title is called, "Surprise!" The unheard-of privacy of the boss... The rosy past is released for the first time... I was shocked after watching it! Crying bitterly! However, just after typing the questions, she closed her eyes and woke up, only to find that she had become Wei Jingshen's high school classmate, and it was also written in the file that he was his first wife who passed away early... What's even more shocking is that Wen Xing is the girlfriend of Wei Jingshen's archenemy... Wen Xing looked at the colorful hair on her head and fell into silence...
It's quite shocking. He kissed a girl all of a sudden. The feeling I had when I read the novel before was over. The male protagonist's character was completely shattered.
Hello Jiejie. I am nineteen years old. After graduating from high school, I took charge of my own textile factory. My father was very rich. He already had a wife many years ago. After meeting my mother, they fell in love quickly and had my sister and then me. I have lived a comfortable life since I was a child, and I get everything I want. I never worry about money, which also makes me ignorant of money. (Jieshe: What does it mean to have no understanding of money? How much money do you have! I said this is just an excuse for gambling. How can I blame my parents for it?) When I grow up... I can't continue editing. When I saw gambling, I thought of the submissions from Station B. I tried to imitate the style of submissions from Haodaer, especially with the emotionless tone of the UP host himself.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
I'm not suitable for watching this kind of Vanity Fair, where the male protagonist dances with others [question mark]
Thanksgiving is in November, isn't Easter in April?
"Women" are a big thorn in the side of the author~
My college graduation thesis was about foreign investment in China. I have read many relevant papers on this chapter. It is said that the biggest problem when investing in Xinjiang is transportation. At that time, transportation was not as convenient as it is now.
Hong Kong's gossip reporters are really pervasive and dare to say and write about anything.
"My benefactor," this is a big bug for the author~ It should be pronounced Yin Gong
