The Great Beauty of the 1980s Marries the Wrong Tycoon

Blurb:

Jiang Nan transmigrates into a book, landing in the 1980s, during the era of reform and opening up.

Good news: She has a father and mother, and wants for nothing.

Bad news: Her father doesn't care for her, her mother doesn't love her, and they're going to marry her off to the top scumbag in the original novel for an alliance.

That very night, she writes a letter to the pen pal she's been corresponding with ever since she transmigrated into the book.

It contains just a few words: Dare to marry me?

Before long, her pen pal replies: If you dare to marry me, I dare to marry you.

Below that, he includes an address and phone number.

Jiang Nan packs her bag that very night and travels a thousand miles to meet the pen pal she's never seen: to meet in person and get married.

In 1980, as China opens up through reform, Huo Zheng uses his courage and ability to build a successful business within two years, becoming a famous business tycoon in X City.

At a family gathering, he happens to see a letter his younger brother left behind.

The envelope is unopened, and the return address is in X City.

On a whim, Huo Zheng opens it. The letter contains just five words: Dare to marry me?

Huo Zheng's expression darkens. Worried that his honest, bookish younger brother might be tricked by a woman, and that she might distract him from his studies, Huo Zheng writes a reply to the sender using the address, determined to put an end to her intentions once and for all.

"If you dare to marry me, I dare to marry you."

He includes his own home address and phone number.

Huo Wen has a pen pal. They've been exchanging letters for three years, but have never met.

The only thing he knows about her is her name: Jiang Nan.

Then one day, Jiang Nan disappears, and his letters go unanswered.

Later, his older brother is getting married, and his sister-in-law has the same name as his missing pen pal.

Later still, Huo Wen goes to his older brother's room to discuss something and happens to see two letters.

The first letter

Sender: Jiang Nan

Message: Dare to marry me?

The second letter

Sender: Huo Zheng

Message: If you dare to marry me, I dare to marry you. (An address is included.)

Huo Wen: ?

Huo Wen: !

Huo Wen: ...

He couldn't figure out for the life of him why Jiang Nan had disappeared. Turns out his own older brother had stolen her away!
