Lin Qiaosheng was hit by a car while saving someone. After she died, she transmigrated into a novel set in a bygone era, becoming the childhood betrothed of Lu Zhiqiang, a powerful figure in the story.
According to rumors, Lu Zhiqiang was a force to be reckoned with, with influence in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Cold and ruthless, he was a man whose name struck fear into the people of Shanghai.
Then Lin Qiaosheng finally met him. The man was tall and long-legged, with sharp features, monolid eyes, and a scar at his temple. In a cool voice, he said, "Miss Lin, I know you don't like me, and I don't have feelings for you either. To fulfill my grandfather's wish, I'll marry you. I hope you'll agree."
Lu Zhiqiang phrased it as a request, but his tone left no room for discussion. Now that she'd transmigrated into a book, Lin Qiaosheng wasn't about to compromise. She was just about to refuse when Lu Zhiqiang continued, "After we marry, I won't be home often. You can have the house to yourself, and I'll give you 500 yuan a month for living expenses."
In the 1980s, 500 yuan a month in living expenses, a husband who stayed away, and a little Western-style house all to herself!
Lin Qiaosheng answered without hesitation: "Sure."
After the wedding, Lin Qiaosheng began living the life she'd longed for, turning the courtyard into a cozy, beautiful home and spending her days experimenting with food and drink. With money and free time, she couldn't have been happier. It was just that the man who'd said he'd come home only once a year seemed to be coming back rather too often.
A little scene
Lin Qiaosheng rubbed her aching lower back and stared up at the sky, questioning her life.
The man beside her put an arm around her. "Why aren't you asleep yet, honey?"
Lin Qiaosheng snapped, "Where's this month's allowance?"
The thoroughly satisfied man spoke in a slightly hoarse voice. "You've got all the bank cards. I've handed everything over. If you still can't sleep, we can..."
Lin Qiaosheng... Get lost.
Important! The heroine will still build a career. After all, when the economy is booming, opportunities are everywhere. Not making money would be letting herself down. In the end, she'll be richer than the hero.
P.S.
1. The heroine enjoys a Back to Field lifestyle while the hero works like a money-making machine.
A capable, gentle, and wise heroine who can do everything VS a seemingly cold and ruthless big shot from a bygone era who is secretly thoughtful and devoted to his wife.
2. Marriage first, love later, with a warm and sweet romance.
3. Set in an alternate version of the 1980s, with some fictional elements.
Theme: A good life takes work to build.
"Comrade Lu" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ land
What time period does this describe? Homemade fishing net? Needles and threads were in short supply at that time, and fishing nets were not high-tech, so they still had to learn how to make them? Is the heroine still the first person to make a fishing net?
This is so strange to say, why are there no snakes? It's normal to have snakes there.
The little old man is quite a thief, he took advantage of it early
