transmigration into a book, Chinese Economic Reform, business management, poor to rich
When she woke up, Ye Ning became the delicate girl who always shed tears in the book. At that time, she eloped with a man and took the compensation money for her father's accidental death...
According to the plot, the man would get rich with her money and later marry Ms. Perfect, abandoning her. She would then return home only to find out that her sister had long been human trafficked while she was trying to find her.
Unknowingly, because no one had cared for him, her brother became a beggar and died tragically after taking a rat poison...
So, Ye Ning hid the compensation money from the scumbag and decisively bought a ticket to go back home. She was going to change her younger siblings' lives along with her own...
It's...okay. Probably cos I've already read , so its not as impressive for me. It has no bad parts, but the good parts is not better than Back to the Sixties (for me)
So our MC transmigrates into a book set in the 80s. She becomes the ex-girlfriend of the Male Lead. When the original's father died, the original and the Male Lead eloped, laters, the compensation for her Father's death was used by the Male Lead as capital and their lives got better and better, then the Male Lead met the Female Lead and then abandoned the cannonfodder original. The original also has two younger siblings, because she eloped, the two did not have good lives in the countryside, the younger sister was trafficked and sold as a wife, while the younger brother was abused/starved. In the end, he died after eating poison. As for their mother, she abandoned their family long ago.

MC transmigrates in the middle of elopement, she decisively leaves the Male Lead and goes back to her hometown to raise her younger siblings. MC is smart and mature, she made sure that they would not be entangled by troublesome relatives, planning hers and her sibling's life from now on. They leave their village to live in the City. She has a steady job and used the compensation to buy land and shops then earn money thru rent. After the younger sis graduated from highschool, they move to Beijing where MC started a clothing business that later became a luxury brand. Anyways, getting richer and richer~
For our ML, he is the original's childhood friend. They were penpals but after ML's mother interfered, the original stopped writing to ML. After meeting ML, MC resumed contact with him through letters. They get to know each other, and ML slowly fell for the 'changed' MC. They meet in Beijing, and after ML confessed, they formally started a relationship. ML also quit his job and became a businessman like MC. His business is more on appliances, motorcycle etc.
They get richer then got married and had a little bun. The End. Extras is (1) the younger sister dreaming about their 'past life' and she suspected that MC might not be their real sister but she is very thankful to her for raising them and changing their destiny, (2) younger bro finding his own side CP (cute!!), (3) one of MC's bestfriend (another side CP) and lastly (4) MC's Mom finding out that MC has become rich and successful and wanted to take advantage but MC was not soft-hearted.
Ending was a bit abrupt to me, so good thing there were Extras to supplement BUT... the ending in the Extras is not peaceful (#spoiler With MC Mom cursing them for not saving her =_=).

MC and ML relationship is good, but romantic scenes are few since they're both busy with their respective businesses. It was mostly business management in the later half, even the two younger sibs has less screentime. Also, I keep thinking about their Dad who died (his body was never found) that maaayybbee he was actually alive? (He's not T_T) I just felt bad that he wasn't there to enjoy the blessings. Also, I KNOW that its not all happy endings but I would think that being BFF with the MC should have benefits from author-sama but here, they were only given tragic stories (One married an abusive husband, while someone married a playboy so she can get a greencard for her family. Both of them got divorced later.) Cutest love story is still Little Bro's~~
Overall, this is an okay novel for me. More on business development than romance. There are younger sibs, but it doesn't really feel like a warm family slice of life to me. I do like that MC discusses her decisions with her younger sibs esp. when it comes to money. She would also suggest investments to them, but its up to them to make the decision. But yep, I wouldn't exactly call it heartwarming~. Read this if you like poor-to-rich/business management set in the 80s~

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.
