Ye Mingyue died.
On her hospital bed, her only wish was to be A Na's daughter again in her next life.
In her previous life, after her educated youth parents abandoned her, A Na adopted her and raised her on the grasslands.
That year, to pay for A Na's medical treatment, she went to the capital alone,
to find the father she hadn't seen in eighteen years and ask him for the astronomical surgery fees.
For that, she followed his arrangements and married into the Tong family, enduring their condescending attitude and Tong Wenhai's fickle ways.
Five years of endurance earned her nothing but a casual remark from Mother Tong as she lay dying:
"It's just as well that this barren woman is gone."
Given another chance, she won't bind herself down again.
Xinjiang fruit-nut pastries, date cakes, Xinjiang-style Napoleon cake...
Watch her bring traditional ethnic snacks to state-run restaurants and introduce the specialties of the northwestern grasslands to Beijing!
From the wild grasslands north of the Tianshan Mountains to the everyday dramas of Beijing's courtyard compounds and alleyways,
step by step, Ye Mingyue goes from an orphaned girl from a snowy grassland village to a young entrepreneur representing the country's ethnic communities.

Couple-focused blurb:
Word is that the daughter of the Ye family, who had been lost on the grasslands and raised by herders, has traveled a thousand miles to Beijing.
Everyone expects a timid country girl to show up.
Who can tell them who this poised, stunning beauty is?
The Ye family thinks that being chosen by Tong Wenhai on the strength of her looks is the greatest good fortune Ye Mingyue could hope for in this life.
Who could have guessed she'd pack up and return to her vast grasslands without a word?
Wait a second. Why has He Qiguang, the most promising young man of his generation in the He family, gone back with her?
*
Ye Mingyue thought Heaven's greatest gift to her was a chance to start over and make up for the regrets of her past life.
Who could have guessed she'd run into a kind-hearted god,
and that the deity would cast a ray of light into her life?
He Qiguang: "She is my Mingyue."
[Cool, gentle grassland girl x aloof, refined young man from Beijing's elite circle]
Reader's guide:
1. Slow burn, plot-driven, with satisfying and swoony moments. The heroine is emotionally steady and career-focused. The career line makes up 60% of the novel, and the romance 40%.

The Era-Novel Young Educated Woman Really Isn't a Drama Queen
[Delicate, soft beauty of an educated youth x taciturn, tough soldier]
The moment Lin Muzi opens her eyes, she's on an endless Gobi Desert.
The mouthful of yellow sand and the bumpy pickup truck beneath her remind her
that this isn't a hallucination caused by staying up all night and overworking her liver.
She has transmigrated into an era novel as a cannon-fodder supporting character,
a young educated woman sent from Shanghai to Xinjiang to help with development.
The good news: the young woman is delicate, frail, but truly beautiful.
The bad news: she's not very bright. She doesn't even make it past the first three chapters, managing to get herself killed on the Gobi Desert.
Staring at the ferocious-looking man in front of her, Lin Muzi cowers in the corner of the pickup.
"Comrade soldier, let's talk this over. Put down the knife first."
Lei Ting looks at the culprit who kept his whole team awake around the clock as they searched the Gobi Desert for three days and nights.
His bloodshot eyes narrow at the soft woman, and his voice is hoarse.
"You'd better know what's good for you."
Lin Muzi: I just want to throw myself into the fiery work of developing the frontier.
Lei Ting: How about I develop the frontier while you develop me?
Theme: The best kind of love is walking side by side.

It's the last day of May. It's still not updated. The promises don't count.
I've solved v 🤔, but I'm still looking forward to the follow-up.
When will it be updated? Isn't this a scam? [Question mark]
Please come back and update soon. It's not 50,000 words. I feel like there's still a lot to talk about.
It's the evening of the 30th today, so we won't have to wait until the 31st to update, right?
It's the end of May, when will it be updated?
Don't wait, everyone. I've already seen the big hole in the author's homepage. There probably won't be any more updates. Alas, I just followed it chapter by chapter.
If it cannot be updated today, please fill in the leave request form or explain it. I believe you will not cheat me. Good health is the most important thing.
Such a good article. I hope it's not a trap and I'm waiting for you to come back.
