Please add it to your favorites!] Blurb for this story: (Complete) Lin Zhixin was born with bright eyes, pearly teeth, fair skin, and stunning looks. After waking up, she found herself as the male lead's disposable fiancée in a period novel. A pampered young lady used to the good life was never going to pull off a rags-to-riches comeback, so when it came to making money or finding a man, she decisively chose to make money off men. The new neighbor next door looked like a good prospect. He was tall, handsome, and striking, and he was also the male lead's archenemy. This real big shot had come from the countryside and built himself up from nothing. When he got ruthless, he could even put the male lead in his place. But why had this workaholic started working overtime on her? In the bedroom, the study, the bathroom, the dining room... "Baby, I bought a little Western-style house this time. It's roomy, with lots of rooms." "Or... should we try it outside next time?" * Chen Hongyuan had barely been back home after leaving the military when a woman started clinging to him. "Comrade Chen, would you be my boyfriend? I've never had a boyfriend before." "Comrade Chen, I've been having trouble sleeping lately. The doctor suggested I sleep in your arms." "Comrade Chen, I'm a good judge of character. I can tell at a glance that you're mine." She was spoiled and affected, with clumsy tricks, and she was endlessly annoying. But at some point, she suddenly stopped pestering him. When they met again, she was smiling brightly on a blind date with some pretty boy. The usually composed and steady big shot lost control for the first time. He pinned the young woman in a cornfield and, beneath the hazy night sky, left the corners of her eyes flushed pink as she scolded him coquettishly: "You're a brute!" After thoroughly enjoying himself, Chen Hongyuan wrapped a possessive arm around her soft waist and chuckled. "A few days ago in the woods, who the hell covered me in hickeys? Hmm?" Reader's Guide: She flirted and tried to get away, then ended up getting herself in trouble~ 193 cm vs. 168 cm height difference / Instant physical attraction One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, and both have career storylines after moving to the city Next book: Marrying the Female Lead of a Period Novel After Switching Fiances Blurb: Fang Qingci transmigrated into a book. Seven people in her family were crammed into a cramped apartment building of teachers' dorms. Four sisters had to share a home with a little golden boy, and even getting an extra bite of meat was hard. Luckily, the female lead was her best friend. Even if Fang Qingci lay flat and did nothing, her friend could carry her to success. For example: The female lead met the male lead on a blind date, and the two career-driven people got married by agreement, putting their interests first. The female side character went on a blind date too, and as luck would have it, her match was the male lead's best friend. It was a clichéd matchmaking setup, but she'd heard her fiancé was tall and strong, witty and charming, and an officer, so Fang Qingci was content to wait for the wedding. She and her best friend got married on the same day, in the same traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, moved into the same residential compound, and even lived on the same floor. That night, when she entered the bridal chamber, the groom looked just as she'd imagined: broad-shouldered, with a narrow waist and long legs, and particularly dashing in his uniform. The only differences were that his impossibly handsome face seemed too perfect for a supporting male character, and his personality was not as easygoing as the rumors claimed. In fact, he was cold and aloof. But with her ideal type right in front of her, how could this grown woman worry about anything else? She took the initiative and pushed him onto the crimson bed embroidered with mandarin ducks at play. They were married, after all. She might as well enjoy him! And the groom really was a force of nature, easily arranging her into all kinds of positions... Just as they were both enjoying themselves beyond measure, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside the door: "There's been a mistake! The wrong bride was sent over!" "?" "?" Afterward, Fang Qingci felt like the sky had fallen. Good news: She and the groom were perfectly in sync. Bad news: He wasn't hers... Reader's Guide: 1. Neither the male nor female leads, nor the supporting leads, have met before their weddings. 2. No rivalry between women. Nothing matters more than best friends. 3. One couple has an older, doting man and pure romance; the other has an older woman and younger man, with pure romance. Theme: Strive for a better life.
