the sure hustle

Lin Lan transmigrated into a book set in the 80s and became a young widow with a child. As soon as she opened her eyes, someone was at her door demanding payment of debts, and when she went out, she was met with the disdainful and contemptuous gazes of her neighbors! She, a person who had owned a house and a shop through her own efforts, would she fail in the 80s? Facing external threats and internal difficulties, she picked up the skills from her past life, selling spiced broad beans and pea cakes outside, opening a shop... Her sister-in-law said, "Lin Lan, that man is not bad. He's strong and very family-oriented." "No time, I'm busy with my business." Her maternal aunt said, "You're just a widow, what are you being picky for? He's a 'ten-thousand-yuan household,' he doesn't mind that you have a child, you should be content!" A ten-thousand-yuan household! Heh heh! A certain man watched the busybody matchmakers who came to introduce partners to Lin Lan, his eyes gleaming with a cold light, as he strove to pursue his wife!

Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Jiang Xian, the ultimate corporate overachiever at a top tech company, transmigrated. Before transmigrating, she had just sought help from a doctor for her anxiety: "I feel sick if I don't work overtime for a day, and I can't breathe properly if I take a day off. What should I do?" A friend asked: "Is your illness contagious? Come stay at my company for a while, and spread it around!" After transmigrating, she arrived in the slow-paced harem, where everyone was idle. She was going crazy from the lack of work! So she, without a second thought, started hustling like her life depended on it. * An anonymous concubine: In November, when the snow was heaviest in the Capital, Jiang Daying danced in the Plum Garden every single day! Good heavens, is it necessary to work yourself to death? Vying for favor is not something we, on our measly salary, should worry about. So that same year, Jiang Daying was promoted to the rank of Beauty, while she was still a lowly concubine. * Later, it was rumored that Consort Jiang had a bad relationship with her stepmother. After her stepmother gave birth to a son and came to the palace for an audience, the Lady gifted her a fifteen-character calligraphy piece to be hung over her step-brother's bed—Four thousand three hundred and seventy days until the imperial examination. * When it comes to making her presence known to the boss, Jiang Xian is a professional. Have you ever seen the harem at 3 AM? The concubines wake up at five, she at three: While the concubines were admiring flowers, gazing at the moon, watching plays, and gossiping, she was practicing dancing, singing, and her instruments, meticulously studying the big boss's preferences. Excelling in both professional skills and flattery, Jiang Xian believed that if she continued to roll like this, the boss would surely think of her first for promotions and raises. And the Emperor had seen countless methods of vying for favor. Yet, he truly only remembered Jiang Xian— This woman is so deeply in love with me!
