The Unemployed Woman's Terrible Little Sister-in-Law [1990s]

In the early 1990s, factory reforms triggered a wave of layoffs. Su's mother was promoted to team leader and laid off factory workers' children. Su's father was a technician who started a factory with his eldest son.

Their family was the foil to the original protagonists' family. Su's mother was resented, made a scapegoat, and fired. Su's father's business failed, leaving him bankrupt. Su Yuru was a lazy, greedy sister-in-law who only wanted to marry a rich man and made her future sister-in-law do the housework.

The original female protagonist was reborn and gave up her secure government job as a teacher to start a market stall and make a fortune.

After discovering she'd transmigrated into a book, Su Yuru refused to be a side character trapped in a cage. She was going to become a shining star and the protagonist of her own life.

Su Yuru started out as a bar singer, then entered a singing competition and won. From there, she became a top judge on a famous talent show, climbing step by step to the summit as the times changed.

When Su Yuru met Cui Mingze, she was singing "Love's Battlefront Alliance" in a bar. Cui Mingze mistakenly thought she was heartbroken, and kept tipping her in cash, hoping to take advantage of her vulnerable state.

Later, Su Yuru asked Cui Mingze, "Why did you think I was heartbroken? I've never even been in a relationship. You're my first love."

Cui Mingze blushed. "Your singing was so beautiful, I got lost in it. This is my first relationship. Please be kind to me."

If Cui Mingze hadn't mistakenly thought the person coming to pick Su Yuru up was her boyfriend, he probably wouldn't have confessed so soon.

Cui Mingze: "When you love someone, you always feel cautious, yet a little rushed and nervous. You want to hold on tight and give her the very best of everything."

This story features a first-love romance, family life, and a parallel universe.

In the early 1980s, her older sister returned to the city with her whole family in tow, and Xu Mengyao realized she'd transmigrated into a book.

There was no spare room, and the family started arguing. Xu Mengyao volunteered to live at school and free up her room.

That way, her sister wouldn't be left homeless, her little niece wouldn't go missing, and her sister and brother-in-law wouldn't fall out with the family.

While the reborn female protagonist next door was busy making a fortune in business, Xu Mengyao planned to keep attending university, then get a job at a design institute after graduation and help develop the new economic zone.

Her best friend was a scheming green-tea side character in a period novel, and Xu Mengyao ended up with her friend's powerful older brother.

Theme: Women should be self-reliant.
