70s, business management, family, soldier ML
When Lin Chuyu opened her eyes, she was reborn in 1976.
The home is so poor they don't even have matches.
Buying cloth requires cloth tickets, buying meat requires meat tickets, and buying tea requires industrial coupons... How can such days be lived?
Life is not easy, but dreams are still necessary, so let's become a ten-thousand-yuan household first!
Reco from @dog3nn. Finished this last night~ Hmm.. poor to rich FL x soldier ML.
So our MC was reborn in 1976. Her Dad got into an accident and has a broken leg in need of operation, there's a tailor apprentice big sis, substitute teacher 2nd sis, mom & big bro are farmers. MC, lil bro and lil sis stays at home to take care of their Dad. How to say... I feel like she's not as miserable as other FLs. Lol. Except for the bitchy 2nd sis, the family is harmonious.
His Dad is the 2nd of three brothers, so there's a 1st and 3rd branch and both despise their family for being poor but the good thing is they live in separate houses so they would only show their face from time to time to be annoying. At least, they don't live under the same roof.
In order to cure her Dad, MC starts doing business (illegal!), selling eggs, mulberry leaves etc. anything that can be sold. After gathering enough funds, they send their Dad to the City hospital. MC happens to save ML's mom and they formally meet (They met each other before). After that, they would meet from time to time and ML would often help MC. Not that it affects the story since MC is already a mature soul from modern times but...I think they have quite an age gap since ML was already 29 when they met and he called MC a 'kid'. MC was.. 16, maybe?

Anyways, later ML realized his feelings and decided to wait for MC to be an adult. Meanwhile, the college entrance examination is resumed and MC's golden finger is her English knowledge and tests knowledge (MC was a cram/training school teacher in her previous life). She successfully tutors her big sis (and other educated youths) to pass the exam and get accepted in Beijing. She follows a year after.
She continues the poor-to-rich arc in the Capital by establishing a cloth factory with Big Sis and selling the clothes to street stall hawkers. Laters, they made their business bigger and they established a physical store, and then different branches all over the country. This surprised me a bit actually cos the usual order I see is to establish a clothing store and then acquire your own factory to supply your own store. (Back to the Sixties & 90s Parvenu Wife) while this was the other way around. Anyways, she also establish a training school for college entrance examinees (Previous life career). She also sells antiques, she also invests in technology (Walkman), became a Host in a TV show, writes books, established an entertainment company etc... She is living the FEMALE LEAD life.
On ML, they establish their relationship BEFORE MC went to the Capital. He is away most of the time (soldier!) and when him and MC meet, its always either lovey dovey or sexy time. He provides a LOT of support to MC though behind the scenes cos MC is so high profile with spending her wealth. (She's a millionaire in a time where 10,000 yuan households are rare). MC being low-key is just that she doesn't announce her identity as the business owner to close friends/acquaintances. Anyways, later they get married, live together in the military compound and gives birth to a little girl.

If you like cool text, you'll like this cos MC's female lead halo is fully activated. She's pretty, smart, (now) super rich, famous all over the country, has a harmonious family, hot ML, and her in-laws love her. This is very MC-centric, ML/her family are rarely mentioned unless MC remembers them. This also has many disposable cannonfodders, they would show their presence from time to time but they never really affect MC. Rather than conflict, they're just usually there to be faceslapped~ Same with the troublesome relatives that usually appears in countryside novels, our MC literally does not care about them even with her 2nd sis, much less her cousin, grandma, aunts etc. Aaannd there's surprisingly no backlash to her reputation or moral kidnapping happening. Our MC is smooth sailing on all her ventures.
Nearest reco I can think of is Transmigrates as a Seventies Girl for another winner-in-life FEMALE LEAD.

NPC
Erin longed for adventure, Maya new better. Erin wanted to be a Hero, Maya would never trust them. Maya also knew a simple truth; Erin could never be a Hero. She had two sharp horns poking from her hair. A cheerful smile with cute fangs that sparkled just so in the light. And lived in a world that would not smile in return. So, Maya smiled and hugged Erin when she spoke of her dreams with such boundless enthusiasm. They were best friends, and best friends did not shatter each other’s dreams. Heroes have arrived in Cairn village, one of which is Aiden; a 20-year-old-runaway who's just excited to play a super awesome VRMMORPG and maybe rekindle the eternal war without thinking... I added the tramtising tag since the whole demon lord thing isn't entirely moral and I guess that's what that tag means, better safe than sorry I guess. This is a rewrite and I still do small edits on earlier chapters for grammar and style every now and then so let me know any critiques you have or even if you just think something is stupid. The whole point of writing this is so I can improve while (hopefully) entertaining some people. My update schedule can be erratic but I will finish this eventually. Eventually being in a few years... I decided to take a break from this while I finish a separate project sorry about that. There are also puppy pictures...you have been warned.

I Totally Don't Have Anger Problems!
Discontinued 7/11/2020 Sorry if anyone was hoping for more updates. It seems I'm losing interest in the character as time goes on - not sure if that's due to miscalculated character development direction or just a limited amount to express in the first place. If I do any writing projects in the future, I'll make sure the premise has a lot of room for long-term, interesting, development before posting anything. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback! I’m Talia Shimada, and my life just got a lot more complicated. One moment I was just doing some regular investigation of an interesting boy from my senior year in high school, and then suddenly, everything went wrong and I was stranded in another world in the middle of nowhere. It’s not my fault he left a clear line of sight to his house keys where they could be photographed and replicated on a 3D printer! Now I’m stuck in the middle of a giant forest with all these annoying creatures that keep attacking me until I SMASH THEM INTO PIECES AND STOMP ON THEIR REMAINS, surviving off of raw meat and, well, other kinds of raw meat. What, am I supposed to know which plants are edible in some far-away wilderness on another PLANET!? This is a planet right? It has to be! What did I do to deserve this? At least that class I got is useful. Now, when something doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, I can keep smashing it until it CAN’T BE A PROBLEM ANY MORE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL! If anyone else tries to get in the way of my plans, I’ll just PICK UP THEIR PUNY BODIES AND THROW THEM ASIDE and watch them sail away, never to trouble me again, because I am DONE having people mess with my life and not being able to do anything about it! From now on, anyone who tries will get to briefly realize their error as I SMASH THEM INTO PASTE BECAUSE THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG WOMAN! I totally don’t have anger problems! Updates Sundays and Wednesdays, occassionaly Fridays

Volume Two of the Ontogeny series. A time of unprecedented crisis has come. During a mission to the edge of the known world, Brigadier Weyland James discovered that humanity faces a threat so terrible that the sane mind can barely conceive it. Failure to meet this threat would mean the end of human civilisation, mankind thrown back to a life of wandering savagery, easy prey for the true masters of the planet who see humans as mere animals, theirs to use and exploit as they see fit.Hope exists, if all mankind can unite, putting aside their petty differences for the greater good, but the truth is so unbelievable that the Brigadier faces an almost impossible task in convincing the leaders of the human world. His task is made even harder by the fact that several governments have been infiltrated by agents of the enemy, who are using their influence to sow seeds of war and chaos.The Brigadier is not mankind's only hope, though. In Helberion, a small group of scientists, struggling to make a major scientific breakthrough, is being hampered by assassination and sabotage. Is this the work of the enemy of mankind? King Leothan hopes it is, because it would mean that the enemy fears this new science, that it could be used to create a powerful weapon against them. A weapon that could be the Saviour of Mankind. The Electric Messiah... This is the sequel to Ontogeny. If you haven't read that book yet you must read it before you read this book.

Life in Zora's Domain
An AU about Mipha's and Link's life together post Calamity. I tried to have some fun with this story, taking it in different directions, developing Mipha's and Link's family, making up some adventures, and creating some connections to other Zelda stories. But the main theme is Mipha's and Link's love for each other and building a happy life together. I'm sure I don't always succeed, but I try to keep the story light hearted and generally opt for happy outcomes.The first 2 chapters now incorporate the prequel stories 'His Future is in the Past' and 'Beginning Life in Zora's Domain', so this AU is self-contained in one story. If you've already read the prequels just jump to Chapter 1 - Studying. Cover art where available is by Nurple(twitter dot com/nurpleynurple) and used by permission. Spoiler Warning: This story has spoilers! On the other hand, if you haven't played the game this story won't make sense. This writing is a work of fan fiction using characters and events from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. I do not claim any ownership of the world or its characters. It is a work of my imagination and is for entertainment only. It is not part of the official Nintendo storyline.
