Proud Beauty [The 1990s]

[Completed. Coming soon: Marrying the Beauty of the Compound by Force]

Qiao Ruo opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into the tragic female supporting character of a story set in the 1980s.

A victim of domestic abuse, with parents who are absolutely useless.

No matter. She's best at calmly embracing her own unhinged side.

The female lead, who also transmigrated into the book, has her eye on the treasure Qiao Ruo found by chance.

Since her character is already ruined, she might as well play the cannon fodder.

The villain next door, Jiang Yi, is handsome, strong, rich, and an excellent cook.

While her abusive husband begs her for a divorce, Qiao Ruo heads south with Jiang Yi to make money, and they fall for each other.

After the divorce, Qiao Ruo has money, a house, a car, and a career. On top of that, she has friends who treat her sincerely and a new husband who trusts and supports her unconditionally. Life couldn't be sweeter.

Blurb for Marrying the Beauty of the Compound by Force:

Liu Liu is the prettiest girl in the compound. Her strengths are her sunny, lovable personality; her shortcomings would take a whole list to count.

She's no good at anything, yet she's still the dream girl of many.

Then an unexpected crisis hits, and the Liu family urgently needs a large sum of money and supplies.

Pei Shaojun steps in just in time, on one condition: they get married.

Liu Liu struggles with the idea. "Can't I just write you an IOU?"

Pei Shaojun: "We'll get divorced when you pay me back. Don't flatter yourself. I just need a pretty ornament like you."

Liu Liu: o(一︿一+)o

He takes advantage of her desperate situation.

She gets married with a debt hanging over her.

Strangely enough, after the wedding, Liu Liu dreams of experiences from another life.

Then she understands that he's just sharp-tongued, and his real aim was to spare her the hardship of being sent to the countryside.

.

Pei Shaojun has always known what Liu Liu is like. At best, she can just barely take care of herself.

He never expected that the little fool, sulky as she was, would stop being lazy and scatterbrained and start doing housework properly.

Pei Shaojun frowns and scolds her: "Who asked you to be my housekeeper?"

Liu Liu wants to flatten his pretty playboy face.

She's the one in debt. Does he expect her to live in his house like a princess?

A few days later, Liu Liu starts trying to stock up on food and supplies.

Pei Shaojun questions her intelligence. "Your parents are a thousand miles away. Even if you stock up on supplies, you can't get them there."

After hauling things around all day, Liu Liu is exhausted and drooping. Hearing that, she feels both wronged and homesick for her parents, and tears stream down her face.

Pei Shaojun can't bear to see it. For the first time, he pulls the poor little thing into his arms and awkwardly pats her.

When times get tough, Pei Shaojun and Liu Liu never go hungry.

After weathering good times and bad together, Pei Shaojun strokes the little red mole on her earlobe and says, "The real reason I married you was that I wanted you to manage my money and spend it for the rest of my life."

Liu Liu grinds her teeth and twists his ear. "Are you trying to buy me off again?!"
