[Rugged, nurturing male lead x female lead who grows wild and keeps rising]
[Setting: Northeast China in the 1990s, an alternate timeline with no strict historical accuracy, a slow-burn mix of plot and romance]
Qi Jiang was reborn.
When she opened her eyes, she was back in the days before she got married.
No abusive husband with a sexual dysfunction, no mother-in-law nagging her to have a child, no detestable stepsister and her family...
In this life, she finally had the chance to start over!
The first thing she did after waking up was ruin the engagement that would have made her miserable for the rest of her life.
If no one was going to love her, then she would take care of herself this time around.
Deal with those unbearable relatives, escape her birth family, find a job that could support her, and make the right choices by seizing the opportunities of the era...
It seemed like none of it was all that difficult.
The only thing she couldn't control was the handsome owner of a repair shop who kept buzzing around her and helping her out. Of course, most of the time he really was helping.
Their relationship went from strangers to friends, coworkers, neighbors, boss and employee...and finally, he ended up in her bed.
One morning, Qi Jiang looked at the man beside her, with his amazing figure and stunning looks. Sore all over and still a little dazed, she finally realized something was off.
“Smack!”
A crisp slap came down from above, waking the sleeping man.
Qi Jiang grabbed his broad shoulders and shook him with all her might. “Tell me! Have you been plotting this for a long time?”
When Bai Shen realized what she meant, his usually expressionless face softened into a smile. He looked as sly as a fox.
“I have.” He lifted a large hand and slowly rubbed a certain spot on the back of Qi Jiang's neck. Feeling her skin tremble beneath his fingers, his eyes gleamed with even greater amusement. “I'm being honest, so does your husband deserve a reward?”
* A yellow-haired country girl transforms into the queen of the sock factory. Her hair is yellow because she got sunburned while doing farm work, not because she dyed it.
* Bai Shen is the male lead. The romance is a slow burn.
* The male lead has some psychological scars early on.
* Both leads are strong. A light touch of period drama.
* The entire novel is already written, expected to be under 300,000 words.
