Reborn in the ’70s: The Leisurely Life of a Lazybones

[Period setting + childhood friends + pseudo-golden finger + 1v1, both leads pure]

Ye Jiangyu set the house ablaze, burning all its sins to ashes.

She died in the fire, too. But she never expected to become a lonely ghost, following Cui Zexi for the rest of his life. She watched him go from a stunning young man to an old man on the brink of death, until he died before her eyes... Then she was reborn.

When she saw him again, all she wanted was to dote on him, to cherish him...

In the mourning hall, he took her hand, the one wearing an engagement ring, and kissed it. “Ye Jiangyu, I, Cui Zexi, will never leave your side in this life!”

There was a hint of madness and a hint of brokenness in his eyes.

When he went to the countryside, he held her tight, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he sighed, “Little Fish, when can we get married? ... I can't wait any longer.”

After joining the army, he was so excited he could hardly contain himself. He picked her up and spun her around, laughing joyfully. His laughter seemed to pierce through the floors and walls and carry into the distance.

Even when they were old, their hair white and their children and grandchildren gathered around them, she could still see that afternoon from years ago: the stunning young man, bashful and shy, uncertain whether to welcome her or hold back...

It was as if she could see through time, glimpsing the old man on the brink of death, alone and shuffling along.

As if she could see the young man in the flames of war, facing danger without fear and surviving by a hair's breadth, as blood stained the earth and he bid farewell to his dear comrades.

As if she could see the boy sprawled across a bed, weeping uncontrollably...

In this life, she met all kinds of people, but he alone left a blood-red cinnabar mole on her heart.

The boy she had always held close to her heart was etched there forever!
