1. 1 重 Back to the 1960s: Farming, Building a Fortune, and Raising the Kids 重回六零：种田发家养崽崽 Southern Lychee南方荔枝Modern Romance1.4M WordsCompleted 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! 3.8kReads9.0Score48914d adds

   In both novels, one can feel the surge of passion and fervor between the lines. The first novel begins during a famine in the 1960s, where the protagonist, with extraordinary wisdom and a strong sense of responsibility, leads his entire village out of hunger and towards a life of abundance, where they can eat meat. In harsh conditions, he constantly struggles against adversity, and his unwavering dedication to the villagers is truly inspiring. The other novel, set in the 1970s, features a protagonist with the incredible ability to travel between two worlds, yet he is not content with his current situation. Instead, he chooses to hunt and trade, embarking on a legendary journey of wholesale trade between two worlds. Amidst complex situations, he uses his keen business acumen and fearless courage to navigate between the two worlds, building his own commercial empire. Both novels, grounded in unique historical contexts, showcase the protagonists' struggles and triumphs in adversity, writing exciting chapters in their lives—both are not to be missed.
