[Alternate setting, no need to overthink it + a slow and steady pace + building wealth + everyday family life + no melodrama or female rivalry]
Su Miao was the picture of an independent woman in the modern era, until she worked herself to death.
She transmigrated into a novel set in the 1980s, becoming an unremarkable young woman with complicated family ties and a tragic fate.
Just as she thought she was in for an ordinary, perhaps even difficult life in a small courtyard, she discovered she had a cheat: a pocket dimension.
It gave her an advantage in an era of scarcity. Not only could she stand up to her mean stepfather, she could also secretly help her neighbors and gradually improve her own circumstances.
She also met Lin Ruobai, the handsome and mysterious male lead from the novel.
The two unexpectedly became allies. Perhaps because each seemed to have secrets of their own, they got along remarkably well.
Su Miao came to regard him as her only good friend in this place.
Until one day, Lin Ruobai gazed at her bashfully and blurted out, “Su Miao, should we get married?”
In an era without bustling traffic, Su Miao never expected anyone to confess their love to her so directly…
