(Cringe-worthy old work, don’t read.)
[Traditional historical setting + no golden finger + both leads transmigrate + family life + raising children + hard times slowly turning sweet]
The moment Shang Qinghe opens her eyes, she finds herself the lazy, greedy wife everyone despises in the 1970s.
Her husband has been missing for three years. Her two children are so hungry they’re trembling, and her mother-in-law and second sister-in-law are at the door, trying to take the last bowl of rice soup.
The whole village is waiting to laugh at her:
“A woman like that will be kicked out of the Lu family sooner or later!”
But the very next moment, her missing husband returns, carrying firewood with a cold expression.
One is a modern-day ER doctor.
The other is a modern-day former combat engineer.
They’ve both transmigrated into the bodies of a couple with a terrible reputation who resent each other.
She can treat illnesses, balance the books, and put troublemakers in their place.
He can repair the house, chop wood, and shoulder the burden of a family.
No food? They’ll earn some.
No firewood? He’ll chop it.
From a leaky thatched hut to a warm kitchen, from being despised by all to making the whole village jealous.
This pretend couple grows more and more like the real thing, and their days get sweeter by the day.
