Back to the 1960s: Farming, Building a Fortune, and Raising the Kids 重回六零:种田发家养崽崽
Transmigrating into the impoverished 1960s wasn’t scary. Becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a book wasn’t scary either. What was scary was that her three stepsons would grow up to become major villains, and all of them, along with their upright, aloof father, would meet tragic ends. How could she let that happen? Lin Qinghe looked at the three future villains, none of whom was even ten years old, and made up her mind: changing a villain starts when they’re young!

Awakening from a Mirror Dream 镜梦觉
What is a dream? Is it an illusion, an extension of reality from the tangible to the intangible, another “distorted” reflection of life, or perhaps all of these? And what is a mirror dream?
