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! 3.8kReads9.0Score504Shelves

   The authors of post-apocalyptic novels, with their exceptional language skills, and palace intrigue novels made me uneasy. I don't read anything that isn't pure romance; most of them are older-woman/younger-woman stories, and they all have happy endings. Some of the writing is a bit rough, but acceptable. They all have a touch of pseudo-forced romance, and they're quite enjoyable.

    Romance: "Can Talk" is a story of misunderstandings, one after another. Although short, the plot isn't too fast-paced; it has everything you need, the characters are all intelligent, and there are humorous moments. The second book is about family, and I think it's quite good too. The female lead is unhappy in real life, so she chooses to live with ghosts and monsters in a dungeon and become the new administrator. Her parents and younger brother, who bullied her, are punished.
