The Brash Courtyard Bully's Spineless White Moonlight [Period]

See below for a preview of the upcoming novel: The Village Girl of the Eighties Seeks Her Child's Father

Tang Cheng'an has never seen her mother. From a young age, she grows up in a rowdy residential compound, surrounded by men who are constantly rushing around and causing a commotion.

This notorious Elder Tang wreaks havoc wherever she goes. She can take on wicked relatives and keep hooligans in line. When it comes to being clever and mischievous, she's the best in Nanzhou.

Alas, the pilgrimage is long, and just like in the TV dramas, she falls for the Kingdom of Women along the way.

"Wei Xun, Nanzhou is too small to contain how much I like you, so I'll call on the stars above to witness how much I, Tang Cheng'an, adore you!"

But this time, her warm advances meet a cold shoulder.

Her first love leaves without a word, and is gone for more than a decade.

-

Then comes the well-known wave of reforms at the turn of the millennium, crashing over little Nanzhou in a towering surge. At its center is Tang Cheng'an's first love, whom she hasn't seen in ten years.

This top student, who's returned from Beijing to his hometown, keeps saying he wants to start a business in Nanzhou?!

The internet? Big data? Online shopping? E-commerce??

What on earth are those things???

But Wei Xun comes back with hair like a haystack, plain black-rimmed glasses, and dark circles down to his cheekbones. He doesn't look like a successful businessman at all.

Tang Cheng'an never imagined her first love would end in such a ridiculously dramatic way.

-

Everyone thinks Wei Xun has gone mad. They're all eagerly waiting to watch this heaven-blessed talent fall from grace.

Then, in his first year, he shows up on television just once, and tourists from all over the country come flooding in.

In the second year, he blinks, and somehow brings billions in investment to Nanzhou all by himself???

People speculate about what kind of extraordinary abilities Wei Xun has, but Tang Cheng'an doesn't care. Right now, she has only one thought:

Dump him.

Everyone has to take responsibility for what they say and do. Tang Cheng'an understands that better than anyone.

Wei Xun's silence in response to her impulsive confession back then was clearly a rejection, and now she's sensible enough to accept it.

They'll just be friends. She thinks that's the best way for them to get along in peace.

But the Wei Xun who has returned this time is different.

In the eyes he so often turns toward her, there seems to be something he wants to say, but can't...

---Upcoming Novel Preview---

The Village Girl of the Eighties Seeks Her Child's Father:

[A sharp-tongued, world-weary woman who transmigrates x a steady, gentle village official x a cheerful, energetic factory owner]

Love triangle / pregnant first, love later / childhood friends / slow-burn slice of life

Yu Xi belongs to the generation most deeply affected by delayed sex education, so she is determined to carry out the family-planning policy of the 1970s to the letter.

Yu Xi: My belly is full of enough resentment to raise ten Xiejianxians. I don't have any room to have a baby.

Then one day, she transmigrates.

She lands in a period novel she's never even heard of.

She flips open the calendar and sees that she's transmigrated to the 1980s?!

Reform and opening up, the household responsibility system, rural tax and financial reforms... As an accountant, Yu Xi can practically smell the business opportunities.

Who says the 1980s are old-fashioned? The 1980s are amazing!

--

After all her efforts, Yu Xi discovers there are two main obstacles standing in the way of her getting rich:

First,

Ning Yanshan, the village director, a textbook example of a refined scoundrel.

Just as Yu Xi marvels at the village having such a gem, she discovers he's an old fossil who can't even make a peep.

Second,

Qin Zikang, the village's annual KPI champion, an energetic and cheerful puppy.

He holds major shares in dozens of garment factories, yet spends every day figuring out new ways to flirt with every girl he sees on the street.

Yu Xi secretly swears:

Men can't be relied on. If I want to make money, I have to do it myself.

--

But the three of them, who seem to have nothing in common, are fated to become entangled after a bout of food poisoning.

Doctor: You're pregnant.

When everyone points fingers at Yu Xi for getting pregnant before marriage and tries to force her to name the scumbag she was with that night, she has no way to explain.

Yu Xi: I don't even know who got my first drop of blood!

Just when they can't see a way out of this mess, two men show up uninvited--

Ning Yanshan and Qin Zikang.

Only then does Yu Xi realize:

This isn't some wish-fulfillment story at all. It's a tacky love triangle and pregnancy novel!

--

But while the two men go to every length to secure their place in her life, Yu Xi throws herself into raising chickens, catches the first wave of prosperity in the 1980s, and becomes the village's first professional poultry farmer.

Before the baby is born, she gives them a fortune worth tens of thousands, rather than giving them a father.

Yu Xi: Who needs romance? Making money is the right path!

Theme: You will always be the one I choose, without hesitation
