Author: There Is Light at Night Too

Synopsis

[Transmigration + 1970s Setting + Beloved by Everyone + Pocket Space (Not the Main Plot) + Clear-Eyed Protagonist]

If you're here for the pocket space, it's a major help in avoiding pitfalls.

There aren't that many terrible people.

Jiang Jiang was an office worker in 2024. She was always busy, but never managed to save any of her salary. She bought herself a home of just over 50 square meters and paid part of the down payment, but still had to repay the bank loan every month. She felt like she couldn't go a single day without working.

One day, Jiang Jiang came home after working overtime, completely exhausted. She quickly washed up and fell asleep, thinking that with the weekend off, she could finally sleep in.

But when she woke up, she discovered she had become one of the many people who had transmigrated! Oh my god!

Fortunately, her whole family adored her.

She was one of only two girls in the family, and the other was her aunt. Naturally, everyone doted on her.

Eldest Uncle: “Oh, our Junjun is so pretty. I wonder which rascal will get lucky enough to marry her...”

Eldest Brother: “Hopefully not for a long time. Otherwise, he'll have to get past us first.”

Second Brother: “Exactly. My little sister is only sixteen. There's no rush.”

Third Brother: “Your brother will support you. No need to rush into marriage.”

Fourth Brother: “I don't think any pig is good enough for our family's rose.”

Little Brother: “Sis, don't be so silly that someone tricks you into leaving. Tell me if anything happens.”

Aunt: “Out of the way, children. Junjun, I'll vet any suitors for you. Your brothers are right, there's no need to rush.”

Her parents need no explanation.

And her grandparents treated her like the apple of their eye.

So everyone in the village said that Junjun of the Jiang family would probably become an old maid and never get married...

Looking for Era Novels With a Beloved Group Protagonist Reborn in the Womb

Reborn into the womb, a story set in a past era. The whole family dotes on the female lead. It'd be fine if it's just her grandparents who favor her. I like lucky heroines, that sort of thing. Reincarnation isn't a must, and a story where everyone dotes on her works too.

Looking for Great Historical-Era Novels. Please Recommend Your Favorites, I’m Out of Books to Read

Good historical novels set in a particular era, preferably with leads who have really solid values. A story about going to the countryside would be even better. No spoiled drama queens or revenge plots, please. I'm begging you.

Looking for Good Quick Transmigration Stories with Male Leads Who Are Virgins. No Recommendations Otherwise

Looking for books like The Male Lead Isn't Worth It, the Villain Is a Better Deal (Beloved Across Myriad Worlds). I don't care whether the heroine is chaste, but the male lead must be. No mistreatment of the heroine, just sweet romance. A quick transmigration story shouldn't be too long, preferably under fifty chapters.

In a Reading Slump, Looking for Slow-Paced Rural Farming Stories

I'm looking for books similar to Reborn in the Famine Years: My Wife Is Always Trying to Lose Weight (Food Comes First). Any recommendations? I'd like something where the male lead starts with nothing and grows up from a young age, with a bit of a Cao Cao-like womanizer streak. It should have a System, too. After all, I read for the fun of it, and...
