[Period setting + military marriage + troublesome System + college entrance exams + winning back his wife + adorable kids + matchmaking]
After transmigrating as a fake heiress in the 1970s and binding herself to a romance System, Liu Yiyi only wants to make money, earn points, and complete flirty missions.
Her high-ranking fiancé, Shen Muzhou, arrives with a cold expression to break off their engagement. She agrees on the spot, then casually recruits him as her “strategist”: “Comrade Shen, you’re so well-informed. Help me look around for a suitable match, would you?”
Shen Muzhou agrees without a change in expression.
So when Zhao Jiefang brings her firewood, he analyzes him as “too wooden.” When Sun Zhigao invites her to dinner, he judges him “too loud.” When Gu Huaiyuan gives her a book of poetry, he scoffs, “Artistic types can’t be trusted.”
Liu Yiyi throws herself into matchmaking, while Shen Muzhou diligently vets every suitor.
Then one day, Liu Yiyi spends a little too long chatting with an elementary school teacher. Shen Muzhou stays up all night writing a three-page analysis. The last page contains just one sentence:
“He’s no good either. If you really have to choose someone, consider me.”
Liu Yiyi: “??? Weren’t you here to break off our engagement?”
Shen Muzhou’s ears turn red, but his voice remains cool. “We can… discuss the engagement later.”
Everyone in the village knows that her high-ranking ex-fiancé is helping her find a match and is so jealous he’s practically beside himself.
Hehehe, it would be impossible to find a love rival for yourself.
