Synopsis

Not reborn + not transmigrated + everyday family life + a fiercely protective stepmother (male lead is not a virgin; female lead is).

In the 1980s, in the Su family’s humble home, Su Tang is branded the village’s most sharp-tongued “old maid” at twenty-eight, after putting off marriage years earlier to support her younger brother’s education.

Su Tang is tough yet resilient. She keeps chickens and rabbits in the same courtyard and lives with quiet dignity, while secretly longing for warmth.

Yu Mingjie’s arrival is like an unexpected breeze.

A remarried man with a “baggage” child, he is taciturn, and his eyes hold the wear of years gone by.

After they help each other through several unexpected mishaps, Su Tang sees how steady and dependable he is. To her surprise, Yu Mingjie is drawn to her sharp tongue.

Su Tang does not want to let true affection slip away, and Yu Mingjie resolves to provide a safe haven for her and his daughter.

Amid misunderstandings and conflicts, they use sincerity to overcome prejudice and stand by each other through life’s storms.

Su Tang’s cooking warms the stomachs of father and daughter, and their hearts as well. Yu Mingjie’s sense of responsibility gives her a sense of security she has never known.

This is a story of understanding and acceptance, steadfastness and growth, set in a bygone era.

In a simple yet realistic countryside, two people whom life has “left over” join hands and make their way through the mud, turning ordinary days into sweetness. They prove that true love has nothing to do with age or the past, only the light in each other’s eyes.

No Angst Stories, They Really Hurt Me

I'm into historical romance, showbiz, transmigration plots, heiresses, and stories where everyone dotes on the heroine... I just finished a black-lotus story and need a breather... I've read a lot already, actually... Let's see if there's anything that really grabs me. No unfinished books, unless it's really good.
