Green Tea's Rise Through Blind Dates in the Seventies

Jiang Meitao is a total green tea girl.

She is pure and delicate, stunningly beautiful, and everyone loves, spoils, and adores her.

One day, she opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into a melodramatic novel set in a bygone era, as the real daughter.

In the story, the real daughter returns to her birth parents' home and joins the art troupe, only to become a foil for the fake daughter. She competes with her for her parents and her sweetheart, and in the end is forced to marry a wastrel, leaving everyone to despise her. Even after she dies, the fake daughter puts on a show of sympathy and says, “What a pity. Meitao only married the wrong man.”

Jiang Meitao: ...?

Compete for parents? A green tea girl doesn't need parents.

Marry the wrong man? No one can resist a green tea girl!

Lu Changcheng comes from a privileged family, is handsome, and has a brilliant future. But after seven years on the battlefield, he has no interest in romance and has let his personal life slide.

The wives in his unit are all eyeing him, determined to bring this outstanding young man home, but every one of them comes away empty-handed.

The leaders are tearing their hair out. “Since Comrade Changcheng has such high standards, let's find him the very best blind date!”

Not long afterward.

The art troupe leader recommends: Jiang Meitao, the prettiest woman in our troupe!

The women's affairs director: Jiang Meitao is beautiful, kindhearted, and politically aware. She's the best!

The quartermaster: Jiang Meitao is an amazing cook. Her food is the best!

Jiang Meitao has become famous among the leaders.

Decision made! She's the one!

Jiang Meitao is going on a blind date with Lu Changcheng, the most eligible bachelor around.

The news spreads.

Everyone rubs their hands together, eager to watch. “Just wait. Do you really think cold-as-ice Lu Changcheng will like her?”

It doesn't take long.

Lu Changcheng takes Jiang Meitao by the hand. His face is flushed, his gaze tender. “We're going to submit our marriage application!”

Everyone: ? The Lu family is so well-off, and Lu Changcheng is so accomplished. Surely they'll get divorced!

They wait and wait, only to discover...

Lu Changcheng earns money, cooks, and looks after the children!

What's more, Jiang Meitao hates the heat and the sun when she goes out, so he works hard to get promoted, all so he can get her a little car.

Everyone: ?

Jiang Meitao: “It's just a green tea girl's natural instincts!”

Later, when the green tea girl who is pampered beyond measure is faced with her birth parents, who come to her crying and begging her to come back...

Jiang Meitao: Get lost.
