Synopsis

[Period setting + marriage first, love later + building wealth + blended family + everyday family life + contrasting couples]

After her husband got involved with his widowed sister-in-law, Cheng Yuluo couldn't take it anymore. She divorced him and returned to her family home…

But once she got home, her parents, brother, and sister-in-law treated her very differently than before…

To support her daughter, she went to the county seat and set up a stall selling wontons outside a factory, just like the other vendors…

A young, beautiful single mother, she seemed quick-tongued and unwilling to back down, but she was kind at heart. Du You, a veteran who had become head of security at the cement factory, gradually found himself drawn to her. Seeing how her son felt, Jiang Chunhua started dropping by every few days under the pretext of helping look after the child.

Theme: Some people are better left behind as soon as possible.

Some kindness doesn't need to be broadcast to everyone. Good days are built with your own two feet, one step at a time.

A period romance about everyday family life and steadily building a better life.

As sweet and indulgent as ever.

A Cautious Female Lead in a Period-Era Novel Who Refuses to Be a Cannon Fodder

Looking for books similar to Choosing Others? Better to Choose Myself. Must be complete. I truly didn't skip a single chapter. The female lead is clear-headed and practical.

Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!

I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.
