Blurb: The usually quiet Jixiang Alley has been buzzing lately.

Word is that the youngest daughter of the Su family is going on a blind date.

That girl has been beautiful since childhood, the loveliest flower in the whole neighborhood.

Everyone wants to see who will win her heart in the end.

Her first blind date is an employee in the textile factory's logistics department. He wears glasses and looks quite refined.

Her second is a police officer who transferred out of the army. A scar runs across his brows, enough to make the alley children cry.

Everyone thinks that the delicate young lady will surely choose the first man.

After all, he is a city native, with parents to support him and a good job.

The second man, on the other hand, comes from the countryside. They say both his parents are dead, and he is only a junior police officer.

But to everyone's astonishment, the youngest daughter of the Su family chooses the second man.

The neighbors can't help feeling sorry for her. That girl really has no eye for men.

Li Wanru is reborn, returning to the time when her best friend is about to go on a blind date.

Remembering the rich life her friend will enjoy in their previous life, she gets ahead of her and steals her friend's blind date.

This time, she is sure to live the kind of life her friend had in her previous life.

Two weddings take place in Jixiang Alley on the same day.

One is the Li family's daughter marrying a junior employee in the logistics department.

The other is the Su family's daughter marrying a junior police officer.

The curious thing is that both brides' husbands live in the same crowded courtyard compound.

After Li Wanru gets married, she waits and waits, for her in-laws to serve her and her husband to make his fortune.

But the longer she waits, the worse her life becomes, while Su Qingli's life gets better and better. In the end, Su Qingli moves out of the courtyard compound and follows her husband's career promotion to the capital, Jing City.

---- Upcoming: Marrying a Coal Boss in the 1980s

Shen Zhiwei transmigrates into a period novel as the villain's ex-wife, the woman who abandoned her husband and child.

She ran off with most of the coal boss villain's fortune and her lover, but eventually lost both the man and the money.

The newly arrived Shen Zhiwei looks at the luxurious three-story villa, the bankbooks with more money than she can count, and the fair, well-behaved son, and becomes a mother without any pain or effort.

When the villain asks her coldly, "Are you still leaving?" she waves a hand and says firmly, "No!"

Why would she leave? This life is a dream come true!

Besides, although the great villain in the book is cold toward his ex-wife, he never hesitates to give her money.

She doesn't have to wait on a man and can spend as much as she likes. Only a fool would leave a life like this.

Until one afternoon, she gets out of bed rubbing her aching waist and grits her teeth:

"This novel is a scam! Give me back my cold, heartless villain!"

In her previous life, Shen Zhiwei was a small-time director with talent but no chance to put it to use.

In the blink of an eye, she arrives in the 1980s, when China's film and television industry is just beginning to take off.

Most importantly, her husband is a coal boss. They may not have much else, but they have money.

By later standards, the coal bosses' investment era was the most prosperous period for China's film and television industry, with little hassle and plenty of money.

So, darling, give me money! Invest!

She wants to make TV shows and movies!

Li Zhaoyan raises an eyebrow. "Wife, you know what you'll have to give in return."

Shen Zhiwei agrees through her tears. At least the man is handsome and fit, so she's not losing out.
