A Sweet, Soft Beauty in the Seventies, and a High-Cool Capital Heir Hoping to Propose

Song Hongye transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character who appears in fewer than two chapters of a reborn-era novel! The Song family needed money for their son to marry, so they hurriedly married off their fourth and fifth daughters, earning dowries and saving on food. The fourth daughter was all right, but the fifth was malnourished, dark, and scrawny. At eighteen, she still hadn’t had her first period. The matchmaker clicked her tongue. “Who knows if she can even have children? Who’d be foolish enough to marry her?” She latched onto the educated youth Yi Xiangyang, insisting they’d been intimate. That was how the Song family got a bride price and the fifth daughter became Yi Xiangyang’s fiancée. No one knew that the girl had secretly been replaced long ago. Who could have guessed that after three years of being lovingly cared for by Yi Xiangyang’s mother, the tiny, dark, scrawny Song Hongye would blossom into a fair, shapely beauty? She became the brightest star in the song and dance troupe, arranging performances, writing plays, and coming up with one dazzling show after another, always busy. Then she went to college, tutored students, wrote a column, worked as a translator, and took on a host of other roles... The aloof young master from the capital, Yi Xiangyang, proposed again and again. “Wife, when are we getting our marriage certificate?” Song Hongye replied, “My schedule’s full!” Yi Xiangyang panicked. “I’ll cook, do the laundry, take care of the kids, and give you all my money...” Yi Xiangyang eventually heard that she had been his fiancée all along, and his mother had already paid the bride price. Yi Xiangyang: “How come I didn’t know? Mom, you can’t trick your own son like this!”
