The Beloved Darling Thrives in This Feel-Good Period Novel

(There’s no satisfying face-slapping, and the leads’ relationship develops naturally and remains steady. The supporting characters also get plenty of romance, along with family bonds and friendship. There is a pocket space, but it’s barely used and hardly comes up at all in the later chapters.) At twenty-six, Song Jiaojiao had achieved financial freedom and was just about to retire and enjoy life when she opened her eyes in the deprived 1970s, where food and clothes were scarce. No matter, she was lucky enough to transmigrate as the family’s darling. The good news: she’s beautiful, comes from a good family, and is doted on by everyone. The bad news: she’s cannon fodder. She promptly breaks off her engagement to the scumbag, keeps her distance from the male and female leads, and heads to the countryside for a peaceful life. Who knew that this little village was full of hidden talents? And why is the male lead’s uncle so perfect? A soldier with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he’s everything she could want.
