    Reader note

    ①The heroine Ruan Niannian opened her eyes and traveled into a novel from the 1970s, becoming a love-minded female supporting character with the same name. In the original book, the female protagonist followed the male protagonist to the countryside and was used as a cash machine. She also provoked Jiang Ran, the poorest and most vicious man in the village. Ruan Niannian directly abandoned the male protagonist of the original book and focused on living with Jiang Ran. Although the people in Dahe Village didn't think highly of them, thinking that Jiang Ran's family was poor and the two of them would starve for nine meals in three days together, Ruan Niannian didn't care and only thought about Jiang Ran. The book combines elements such as time travel, the 1970s, and rough guys. The heroine's anti-routine approach makes the story full of surprises and is worth reading. ②The heroine Tang Xiaoxiao was an entrepreneur in her previous life. When she lived to be 80, she learned that the firefighter who had saved her had a disabled leg because of saving her. After her rebirth, she came to the hometown of firefighter Song Jingzhi. Song Jingzhi persuaded her to leave, but Tang Xiaoxiao asked him to take responsibility on the grounds of physical intimacy, and also used the money Song Jingzhi gave her as a betrothal gift. Tang Xiaoxiao liked Song Jing's blushing reaction even more when he flirted with her. The book combines elements such as age, military marriage, and rebirth. The slightly shy and sweet interaction between the male and female protagonists is very endearing. The whole story is full of warmth and is suitable for readers who like sweet pet stories.
