Name: After a Blind Date in the 1960s, I Married My Reliable Childhood Sweetheart
Author: Waiting for the Sun

Synopsis

[Transmigration + System + getting rich + rugged man + striving for a better life]

Li Wenwen, a corporate drone, worked herself to death from excessive overtime. As she died, she thought that if she ever got another chance at life, she would never work overtime again. But when she opened her eyes, she found she had transmigrated to the 1960s and become Li Wenwen, a young woman about to start work as an elementary school teacher. She had also acquired a Xixi System. She thought that being an elementary school teacher in the 1960s sounded great: no overtime, and she'd surely live to a ripe old age. The Xixi System was even better, more than enough for an era like this.

After being laid off, Zhang Guoan transferred back to work as the head of security at the steel mill. He had barely settled into his new job when his adoptive mother, Aunt Hua, began urging him to go on blind dates. Several women turned him down because he was so tall and burly that they were afraid he'd beat them. Once the rumors spread, even the matchmakers stopped making introductions.

After Li Wenwen's mother tricked her into going on a few blind dates, she gave up on men altogether. Why were they all so weird? They expected her to have two babies in three years and work tirelessly. She might as well stay single and enjoy her own company.

After Aunt Hua arranged a match between Li Wenwen and Zhang Guoan, Li Wenwen thought, “I'm in! He has to be tall. A handsome soldier who's retired from the army is perfect. He can look after himself, so I won't have to do all the hard work alone.” Zhang Guoan, meanwhile, had mixed feelings. He remembered her as a little girl, and now he was going on a date with her. She'd even been to secondary technical school; she was out of his league.

Unexpectedly, they hit it off at their first meeting and began living a sweet, happy life together. Outsiders said, “The second son of the Zhang family looks pretty fierce, but who'd have thought he'd dote on his wife so much?”

P.S. The heroine is 19 and the hero is 25. These are some simple, down-to-earth stories from an earlier era. I hope you enjoy them too.

Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas

I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

Looking for Period Novels with Early Stockpiling and a Pocket Dimension or System

I want to read something like After Transmigrating into a Book, I Sold My Iron Rice Bowl and Went to the Countryside in 1970. The female lead goes to the countryside as an educated youth. The main thing is that she isn’t a self-sacrificing saint or always pitying others. I want a consistently satisfying story with no frustrating setbacks and no doormat heroine. No woman-on-woman rivalry! Ideally, she and the male lead stay together and get to know each other first. None of that falling in love a
