Blurb 1

Recently, Shen Weimin noticed two things:

First, Zhao Qi, the third daughter of Old Fourth Zhao from the Sixth Brigade, was growing more and more lovely. She looked prettier than all the other girls in the village.

Second, this pretty girl seemed to have her eye on him.

But when he thought about his reputation, Shen Sanzhu decided to ignore the second point.

Then everyone in the village found out that Third Miss Zhao had fallen for the village's biggest good-for-nothing.

Shen Weimin: ...

Shen Weimin transmigrated to the 1960s.

Since fortune had granted him such remarkable advantages, he couldn't waste his talent. Shen Weimin began thinking about how to make the most of his abilities and contribute to the country and society, so this extraordinary opportunity wouldn't go to waste.

However lofty his ideals, he still had to keep his feet on the ground and start with small things. First, he had to make sure he stayed alive...

He never expected someone to care more about whether he had enough to eat than he did himself. Two fish, a chicken, a handful of wild greens... The gifts just kept coming.

Shen Weimin could only think that Miss Zhao was beautiful and kindhearted!

A merchant's daughter from ancient times transmigrates into the body of a village girl in the 1960s. No matter how hard things get, Zhao Qi never complains.

But as life gets better and better, her parents begin to show their preference for sons.

Zhao Qi's instincts sound the alarm at once. After her two older sisters get married... Zhao Qi decides to find herself a husband.

After looking around, she sets her sights on Shen Sanzhu, who lives at the east end of the village. He's fair-skinned and handsome.

Miss Zhao is stubbornly single-minded. Once she's made up her mind, nothing can stop her. She wants to give him every good thing she has, but he seems even more single-minded than she is.

Little scene:

A man shoves a woman against the wall, leans in, and demands fiercely, "I heard you've got your eye on me?"

The woman fiddles with her fingers and asks in a coy voice, "Who told you that?"

If that's not true, then never mind, the man thinks, starting to step back.

The woman moves faster, wraps both arms around his lean waist, and says with a smile, "How did you know so much about it?"

The man freezes. He wants to scare her a little, but in the end he can't resist the soft warmth in his arms. He blows a wicked puff of air against her ear, delighted to see her dainty earlobe turn pink. This girl is damn gorgeous.
