    No special abilities, no system, no awful relatives! The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of an orphan in the 1970s, starting with a house and everything going for her. She initially thought she'd have to farm and wait for the reforms, but within half a month, she gets a whirlwind marriage to a quiet but incredibly reliable young military officer. The male protagonist is a deputy battalion commander, on a fifteen-day leave, and wins her over with the simple line, "You're all alone, if I don't treat you well, who will?" It's not the kind of love at first sight, but rather a mutual recognition that "this person is someone I can build a life with." The female protagonist has modern thinking but isn't cheat-like; she knows some first aid, loves reading and thinking, and slowly establishes herself in the military family compound. While the male protagonist is stationed for three months, she lives alone in a temporary room, buying groceries, cooking, making friends, navigating the black market, and even getting gauze for the clinic—step by step, she carves out her own path!

They're good for passing the time. 👀 The first is about a reborn native female protagonist who studies Traditional Chinese Medicine and takes the college entrance exam. The second is about a time-traveling female protagonist who becomes a teacher and principal. The third is about a time-traveling female protagonist who promotes Traditional Chinese Medicine, becoming a doctor and lecturer. The fourth is about a time-traveling female protagonist who helps her family make money, expanding from food and clothing to small appliances. The fifth is about a time-traveling female protagonist who draws comics and opens a bookstore (the male protagonist in this one is a researcher, not a soldier). The sixth is about a time-traveling female protagonist who works at a supply and marketing cooperative, rising from sales clerk to section chief.
