The textile mill's prettiest girl, Xie Qiangwei, had just returned home when she found a strange book.

In her dream, she was a college student and the Xie family's most cherished daughter. Yet she fell in love with a hoodlum and insisted on bearing his child. She caused endless trouble in her husband's family, making life miserable for everyone. Her birth family grew to despise her, and in the end, she died a wretched death in her husband's home. When everyone heard the news, they applauded. No one even came to claim her body.

The more Xie Qiangwei read, the darker her expression became. Thinking of that hoodlum's bulbous garlic nose made her want to throw up even yesterday's dinner.

When she saw events unfolding exactly as the book described, Xie Qiangwei steeled herself, packed her things, and boarded a train! Let's bring glory to our country and make our contribution!

When the soldiers and their families at the Qingzhou Military District heard that Deputy Regiment Commander He was seeing someone, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads!

How many pretty young women and daughters of important officials had he turned down? Why had he suddenly started dating someone?

When they finally met her, everyone understood. So Deputy Regiment Commander He liked delicate, dainty girls!

She looked like a precious treasure meant to be worshipped at home!

But to their surprise, behind that pretty, delicate face was someone who could teach and educate with ease, conduct research, and turn the barren Qingzhou desert into an oasis!

The moment He Xiang saw her, he knew he was done for. Though he regretted getting his hair cut too soon, he still relied on the good looks his parents gave him to win this rose for himself.

They weren't officially together yet, but seeing all the men and women around them eyeing her covetously, he pulled her close and kissed her fiercely.

What's the point of just looking? This rose belongs beside a green leaf like him!

Please save my ongoing 1990s food story:

The Food Goddess Who Came to the Alley [1990s]

Blurb: I have 100,000 words in the can! Please add it to your reading list!

Xu Ruoying, a top lifestyle and food blogger who gained a million followers every time she posted a cooking video, transmigrated into a book.

She arrived in the golden age of the 1990s, but there was a catch: she had transmigrated into a novel.

The original host was a trashy supporting character in the story. She seduced the male lead into eloping with her, but couldn't endure the grind of everyday life, so she ran off with his child. Worse still, she took all of the male lead Qi Jing's money and ran away with his friend. Betrayed by both of them, Qi Jing pulled himself together, made a fortune in the 1990s with his keen eye for opportunity, and remained single, becoming a legendary tycoon of his era.

A classic feel-good male-lead story.

Xu Ruoying: ...

The plot had reached the point where the female supporting character fell for the male lead. Xu Ruoying looked at the lean young man with his cold expression, then turned the love poem in her hand into a flyer instead:

"The stall at West Road Plaza is run by my family. Show this and you'll get priority service and 20% off!"

-

Xu Ruoying was a food blogger. She could turn the most ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary, enough to make the kid next door drool just watching through a screen.

After arriving in the 1990s, she looked at the bare walls of her little home and decided she might as well stick to what she knew. She grabbed a wok and spatula and opened a little food shop at the entrance to her alley.

But why hadn't anyone told her the male lead was such a warmhearted guy?

How did he go from being a customer to a free helper?

And he wouldn't even take money!

Xu Ruoying had figured making a little money would be nice, but she never expected her little shop to become a huge hit!

In the 1990s, nouveau riche, business magnates, and even foreign visitors all struggled to get a table. Before long, Xu Ruoying realized she was the one everyone wanted to get close to.

So maybe she could trade this man in for someone else? (Rubs chin thoughtfully)

Qi Jing, the big bad wolf who was hooked on pretending to be a little white rabbit: Keep dreaming!
