The 1970s Scheming Girl Has a Little Conscience, But Not Much

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.

If she gives you something, give her even more in return...
