33. 33 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

    This story is simple yet heartwarming. The female lead, though lacking any special abilities, is almost omnipotent and very capable. The male lead, deeply in love with her, is also a skilled technician. They are a loving couple and live a happy life. [Thumbs up] This can be considered a top-tier historical fiction novel. The characters are very realistic for the era. The protagonist has reached the pinnacle of his abilities in that time, although there's no earth-shattering or earth-shattering action.
