Synopsis

[Transmigrate into a book + 1970s + face-slapping revenge + making money + sweet romance + pocket dimension + raising kids]

Gu Qiaoqiao was a surgeon who died in the operating room after performing surgery for more than a dozen hours straight. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that she'd transmigrated into a book and become a pitiful girl abused by her stepmother. Being sent to the countryside, going hungry and cold, and dying a miserable death were all lined up for her. Gu Qiaoqiao curled her lips. What pitiful girl? She was done with that. She kicked her stepmother over and signed up her stepsister to go to the countryside. Better to make someone else suffer than to suffer herself.

One day, a proper, self-disciplined man appeared. Gu Qiaoqiao thought, Hmph! Men only slow down your sword-drawing speed!

After they married, the man said coolly, “You can't manage all that laundry. Leave it to me.”

Gu Qiaoqiao: “...”

“Don't you want to do the dishes? Leave them to me.”

“Here.” He held something out to her.

“What?”

“Money and ration coupons,” Chu Li said casually. “I found someone to trade for a few extra cloth coupons this month. There's enough for you to buy new clothes.”

“Then I'll take them.” Gu Qiaoqiao noticed the tips of his ears turning red. She smiled. What a show-off. But she liked it!

In other people's eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao was:

“She wears coarse old cotton every day. What a thrifty, devoted wife.”

Gu Qiaoqiao: Pure cotton is so comfortable. I love it. It feels great.

“Did you hear? Gu Qiaoqiao gave up her chance at the new dormitory building and took the lead in staying in the old residential compound, giving someone else the chance to live in an apartment. What a noble spirit.”

Gu Qiaoqiao: Those cramped old apartment blocks can't compare to a spacious, well-ventilated courtyard that's closer to the earth.

Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess

The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

Any transmigration or rebirth novels set in the past where the female lead is strong and badass, and the male lead is powerful, aloof, and restrained, but later dotes only on her? For the male lead, think Dongfang Qingcang or Ling Buyi: rich, handsome, cold, and cool.
