Reborn in the 1970s: I Rejected My Childhood Sweetheart, the Factory Director, and Married a Soldier

[The golden finger awakens late; a slice-of-life story] The year the college entrance exam was reinstated, Shu Qingluo failed to get into university. Zhou Huaishi not only found her a job, but also took her chronically ill younger brother to the provincial capital for treatment.

Throughout their twenty years of marriage, she thought she'd married a good man, until she heard him with her own ears: he had given her admission letter to Yang Manli, who used her identity to attend university in her place.

When she opened her eyes again, the college entrance exam had just ended. Faced with the man who came to propose only because he wanted her admission letter, Shu Qingluo decisively refused him.

She would protect her admission letter at all costs while finding a way to get her younger brother treated.

When she finally got into university and became a renowned doctor, Zhou Huaishi came to find her with red-rimmed eyes.

"Luoluo, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. I'm the husband best suited for you."

Her husband-to-be's longtime rival, the man he'd always looked down on, stepped out in a military uniform and drew Shu Qingluo into his arms. He glared coldly at Zhou Huaishi.

"Childhood sweethearts? Who isn't? And who gave you the right to call her Luoluo?"

(The romance between the leads is a slow burn. The male lead has a secret crush, while the female lead is slow to catch on. The early chapters focus on face-slapping the scumbag and building her career; the romance comes later, as she gradually falls for the male lead.)
