Awakened Beauty of the '70s Defies Fate [Transmigrated into a Novel]

Xu Sui is beautiful, brilliant, and ruthlessly self-interested. Having fought her way from an orphanage to an elite university, she realizes that even at her best, she’s still far from the starting line of those born into privilege. Determined to use marriage as her ladder to success, she’s just about to secure her future—when she suddenly wakes up in the 1970s.

Now, she’s become a minor character in a short drama: a naïve girl who’s about to be deceived by a scumbag and driven to suicide, destined only to serve as a stepping stone for the heroine’s rise.

Xu Sui: Excuse me?
If they want to use her as a stepping stone, then she’ll make sure this “stone” fights back.

Lu Chenghuai, a model officer from a prestigious family, has it all—good looks, reputation, and talent. Yet, nearing thirty, he remains single, the legendary “iron tree that never blossoms.”

When the well-meaning Madam Yang tries to arrange another blind date for him, Lu Chenghuai refuses outright.
After all, he already fell in love at first sight—with a mysterious girl he met on the road after a mission. He’s been haunted by her ever since, unable to find out who she is.

But a few days later, he visits Director Yang’s home—only to see that very same familiar girl sitting there, chatting happily with another man.

Lu Chenghuai: Wait… what?
