[Late 1970s + comparison-character trope + family and neighborhood life + both transmigrate + taking down scumbags + flawed characters (the leads have little romance at first, but their feelings gradually grow)]
Ye Baozhu transmigrates into the villainess of a period novel.
In the original story, she is the heroine’s foil: the reborn heroine is kind and gentle, while she is utterly wicked.
Because the heroine’s husband is a soldier, Ye Baozhu also wants to marry one so she can measure up. Unfortunately, she gets outplayed and is forced into a relationship with the local hooligan boss.
In despair, the original Ye Baozhu is tricked by a male sent-down youth into planning to run away with her lover and all the family’s possessions, only to be caught in the act by her mother-in-law and sent to prison.
When Ye Baozhu transmigrates, it is the day before she is about to agree to elope with the male educated youth.
To keep things under control, she decisively beats him up and sends him off to the farm. Then she unexpectedly learns that her husband is a big shot from the apocalypse. She clings to him that very night, eyes brimming with tears, and says,
“Husband, those are all just rumors! You’re the only one I’ll ever love!”
Little does she know that the man before her has already been replaced by someone else. He lowers his eyes, his voice hoarse.
“Is that so? How do you love me?”
It's a pretty good period novel, but there are two dimensions in one book. Both the heroine and the heroine have space. It is estimated that the reborn heroine not only has a dimension but also a spiritual spring. Otherwise, why did she grow up dark and skinny when she first went to the countryside, but soon she became as white and beautiful as a flower. Moreover, the reborn female protagonist is ruthless and vicious, and she kills her enemies. The heroine has always been passive in fighting back. I feel that the heroine herself can never defeat the reborn female protagonist. It feels like her IQ is being crushed. I hope the male protagonist can be more ruthless, nip the danger in advance, and deal with the reborn female counterpart as soon as possible. If the heroine knows the opportunity, she can cut off her beard in advance, and don't give the female partner a chance to get up. It is best to absorb the golden finger space or the female partner does bad things. The space is restricted, and the space for doing bad things slowly shrinks little by little until it does not disappear... I don't like two golden fingers in one book 🍉
