[Era, military marriage, marriage before love, double purity, mutual flirting]
In her previous life, Ruan Xiangxiang had a face that always looked apologetic—ordinary, forgettable. Through relentless effort and overwork, she climbed the ladder to become a high-ranking executive in a multinational corporation. While she outperformed others, the price was her health and happiness. In the end, she was exhausted to death—literally.
Adding insult to injury, her young assistant sneered at her deathbed, saying she was too ugly to rely on her looks. Ridiculous! If she’d had the kind of face that could earn a living, would she have needed to work herself to the bone? What stung more than failure was the fact that she’d never even held a man’s hand before she died.
But fate gave her a second chance. When she opened her eyes again, it was the early 1980s. Standing in front of a mirror, she saw a stunning face—a beauty that could topple cities.
With a brand-new identity and a face that could indeed “earn a living,” Ruan Xiangxiang is determined to live differently this time. No more burning out for corporate success. In this new era, she’ll eat well, live well, and maybe even… fall in love?
