[Next book: Breaking Up with My Capitalist Boyfriend]
(Gentle, kind, career-minded, healing heroine x a sly, green-tea-style puppy with a sesame filling)
Eileen transmigrates to America in 1860. Up ahead is her bossy, mommy's-boy fiancé; behind her is a Black maid who has just killed a white man with a dictionary and is now preparing to take her own life.
Oh, and there's also a boy locked in the attic, holding a gun to her forehead: the mute illegitimate son of a British aristocrat.
Eileen's vision goes dark. If not now, when?
So she takes the maid and the battered little mute and makes a beeline for freedom in Rochester. High fashion, a clothing factory, and the days when she'll make a fortune and become famous are just around the corner!
--
Leo had never met a woman like her. Ever since he first laid eyes on Eileen, he had kept a gun clenched in his hand.
He really ought to kill her. He had countless reasons to do it:
She knew far too many things she shouldn't. She was foolish enough to cross his boundaries again and again, and she kept shouting about freedom like some stupid Gypsy.
His rational mind screamed that he should kill her tonight.
So he raised his gun, took aim, and pulled the trigger
"Bang, "
He had killed yet another man who coveted her.
Eileen simply wrapped her arms around him and kissed him like she was rewarding a puppy.
--
Eileen, who had abandoned him for five years, planned to marry another American man.
The blazing sun was like the jealousy of hell itself, scorching him until his flesh, bones, and blood seemed ready to burst apart. Leo knelt among the rose bushes, his beautiful lips trembling with fear and split by their thorns.
Blood dripped onto the woman's bare, pale chest.
He gripped Eileen by the throat, his tall frame completely enveloping her. His eyes were so red they seemed ready to bleed. Leo trembled as he spoke:
"How dare you smile at him like that, "
"Don't smile at anyone like that, "
Except me.
But the woman beneath his fingers turned her head and kissed his arm, its veins standing out.
Reading Guide:
1. The male lead's muteness will be cured! (But there will be bonus chapters where he hasn't recovered. Who gets it? I really love the idea of a jealous little mute going crazy for his big sister.)
2. This is a character-driven novel. The plot and romance both serve the growth of the heroine and hero.
3. The heroine has a strong sense of responsibility and is a kind, tolerant, gentle big sister.
4. The hero is the heroine's muse.
5. Alternate history. Please don't take it too seriously.
Theme: Self-reliance
It's true that when I was reading this novel, I kept listening to i love you so and Coldplay's "yellow". I really felt that the melody was like a puppy's love for Erin 😭 I was timid that you resisted me, so I disguised all my fangs. I longed for you, fell deeply in love with you, and I couldn't extricate myself. I fell into a sweet trap called Erin, you are a woman who tells lies, I am angry that you deceived me, you do not love me that much, please let me go, please let me go, I am afraid, I am afraid that you do not love me, you are lying to me, you do not trust me, I am jealous, I am crazy jealous of Lucas and Hannah They can approach you so easily. I love you with all my heart. I want to have a future with you. I want to break through your guard, get rid of all the factors that worry you, win your love, and monopolize you forever. But I'm really sick. I know everything about you, but I still love you. I can't bear to lose you. During the four years when you disappeared, I looked for you like crazy. I was willing to do anything for you, even my life. But when I found you, I wanted to hold you in my arms, but I became timid and didn't know how to get close to you. Dear Irene, oh no, my favorite Irene, you never know that the sea breeze outside the window was so gentle that night when you were drunk in New Orleans. You were nestled next to me in my arms. I looked at you like this, and I felt your like and your love. I was so happy at that moment. God finally took pity on me and allowed me to have you. My dear, wherever you go, wherever you are. Your smile, your smell, your skin, every time you look at me, I love you so, so deeply.
This kind of man is so disgusting. The crush shop is open. He only cares about using the traffic in the clothing store to propose marriage. How can he really care about his crush? It's just selfish?
The male protagonist wants to save face [rolls eyes], let's load it up
This Mrs. Soy is really annoying, and these supporting characters are blaming the heroine overtly and covertly. The same is true for the hero. He can't say anything directly. I feel annoyed for the heroine. Let the heroine go.
Li'er's tea is so fragrant that it even comes to flower growers [touch head][touch head]
The puppy will bite her throat and make her his master for life
I really don't want to say it, but the image of the heroine's stubbornness and lack of understanding of war has been created from the beginning. She obviously knew that a war was going to break out as soon as she traveled through time, and made a lot of efforts for it. I don't believe that she didn't know that shortages of supplies and prices would rise. The more the author wrote, the more biased she became.
I have a disease where I suddenly wilt when I see a confirmed relationship. But I'm still looking forward to Irene's design and store opening later. I'll continue reading later~
I really like the male lead. He looks so good.
What do you mean? I don't understand what's behind this.
