Retro Era with the Boss

Retro Era with the Boss

My name is Ai Jing. And despite my name literally meaning "love," there isn't a single shred of it in my life. One second, I’m trying to survive a disastrous earthquake at our modern office. The next, I wake up on a open ground directly on top of my tyrannical real-life boss. Before I can even process the supreme awkwardness, a deafening gasp echoes around us. I look up, and my jaw drops. We are surrounded by a massive crowd of people dressed in bizarre, old-school retro clothes, staring at us like we’re a public circus act. Before I can scramble off him, a robotic voice chimes inside my head: [Congratulations, User! You have successfully transmigrated into your favourite retro-era novel. Along with your boss.] The catch? We aren't the main characters. We are the fated-to-die villainous duo. Even worse, my memory of the plot is completely locked. The only way to unlock the storyline and survive? Build a successful business empire from scratch in this vintage world. Oh, and I have to avoid the cold-hearted Male Lead like the plague, because he already absolutely despises me. An amnesiac villainess, a grumpy boss, a crowd of judging onlookers, and a massive death flag over our heads? Yeah, we are completely doomed. Looking for a new retro romance? Try a contract marriage, an icy rival hero, and satisfying face-slaps, all while doing business under the rival's nose with no secret space and a rigid, mocking system! #slowburn #ceo_employee_love #antihero #possessive

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
