A Delicate Young Wife in the ’70S, Spoiled by Her Rough-Hewn Husband

My new novel, The Spicy Little Wife of the Seventies: Winning Even While Dragging Along a Bunch of Deadbeats, is now available. Search for it and give it a read. [Seventies era + sweet romance + transmigrated into a book + rugged man + pampered wife + medical skills] A devoted couple romance, with a flirtatious heroine and a rough-around-the-edges hero. Tan Mianmian transmigrates into a book and becomes the cannon-fodder villainess who serves as the contrast to the heroine in a period novel. As soon as she arrives, her awful relatives try to harm her, the original heroine is watching eagerly for a chance to trample her, and her future in-laws are all rotten except for her husband. Is she supposed to meekly become a stepping stone for everyone else? No way. She has medical skills and is known as a walking medical scanner, so she quickly makes a wonderful life for herself. Is her man the roughest, most disliked guy in the village? No way. He may be rough with everyone else, but he cherishes her with all his heart. The only snag is that at first she teases and flirts with him with a half-smile, tossing out three parts mockery and four parts playful bait. After they marry, though, she often curls up at the head of the bed and cries. “I can’t handle it,” Tan Mianmian says solemnly. The rugged man kisses her. “Sweetheart, who says you can’t? You’re the best.” Tan Mianmian stares blankly. “I guarded against everything, but never expected this old house to catch fire. Now I’m saddled with you, you little menace.” A friendly reminder: This story launches on May 20. I hope everyone finds a sincere, lasting, and happy love that’s uniquely their own.
