Coming soon: In the 1970s, Everyone Around Me Is Reborn. Add it to your favorites if you like it. The blurb is after the main blurb.

Main blurb:

Everyone in the textile factory's residential compound said the Lin family was both unlucky and hateful.

The daughter they'd raised and spoiled, Lin Qiao, wasn't really theirs. After their biological daughter Lu Ying returned, Lin Qiao targeted her at every turn. Lin Qiao even tried to force Mother Lin to give her the job so she wouldn't have to go to the countryside. Yet the two elders of the Lin family always defended Lin Qiao. Poor Lu Ying, such a good girl.

Lin Qiao was confused too: Why were the things other people said so different from what she actually did? And why, even though her parents stood up for her and told the truth, did they gradually start believing the rumors?

*

Just before she turned eighteen and was due to be sent to the countryside, Lin Qiao got a broken System and learned she was the original female lead, reduced to a cannon-fodder role in a revenge story. Whenever she crossed paths with Lu Ying, bad luck followed and she became the villain. Before leaving for the countryside, she'd fall out with her family. Afterward, she'd be isolated and die miserably, leaving everyone to sigh that she shouldn't have brought it on herself, and that Lu Ying would even have helped her.

Lin Qiao: ...

System: Host, please work hard to turn your fate around. The more setbacks you face, the stronger you should become. Take back everything that belongs to you.

Lin Qiao clenched her fist: I'm going to work hard at being a couch potato. The lazier I am, the luckier I'll get!

*

Instead of making the dramatic scene everyone expected, Lin Qiao quietly went to the countryside. The people in the residential compound all thought that from then on she and they would be worlds apart. She looked so delicate, surely she wouldn't last.

Before they could even finish sighing over her, they discovered Lin Qiao had come back, and become a worker at the food factory everyone envied?!!

Sharp-tongued, tough, ambitious male lead x laid-back, food-loving female lead who coasts to success

Lin Jiaojiao of Xinghua Commune was a unique presence in everyone's eyes.

She was incredibly strong. From the age of fifteen, she could hunt rabbits in the mountains and earn a full day's work points in the fields, and she was beautiful too.

But she was also extremely difficult to deal with. Even her famously fierce grandmother was afraid to provoke her, so no one dared to come ask for her hand, even though a girl like her should have had suitors lining up at her door.

Lin Jiaojiao thought she was born in the best of times. No one in the brigade dared mess with her.

As for marriage, she figured she could bring home a husband and support him.

The only annoying thing was that the girl competing with her for the title of village beauty had recently started hanging around and trying to get close to her younger brother.

The man who should have been hanging around that girl was instead following Lin Jiaojiao and telling her to slack off, saying she was working too hard and could die of exhaustion.

Lin Jiaojiao: He actually dared tell her to slack off!

Did anyone need to tell her to do that? When she got serious, even three people's workloads weren't enough to keep her busy.

Later, she discovered that the girl had been reborn, her younger brother had been reborn, and even her unbelievably fierce grandmother had been reborn.

Wei Jin was reborn. At last, he could make up for his regrets and marry his girl early. He would also teach her to take it easy, so she wouldn't overwork herself and die young like she had in her previous life.

Every day he shared tips for working more efficiently and easily. Then, by accident, his girl became the city's model worker.

And he became a kept man?

Lin Jiaojiao: Is that a problem?

Wei Jin: As long as my wife is happy.

A story about an incredibly strong heroine who eventually becomes everyone's darling.

My friend's completed novel: The Cannon-Fodder Female Supporting Character Gets Far Too Much Attention from the Male Lead

Ji Tong transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder female supporting character who was infatuated with the powerful male lead and relentlessly pursued him.

To stay alive, Ji Tong had no choice but to dutifully follow the brainless plot and complete NPC tasks.

When Qi Huai led the school team to victory, Ji Tong gazed at him adoringly. "Wow! Big Brother Qi Huai is the best!"

"As if! His grades are terrible, he's got a bad temper, and he's got nothing going for him but his face."

Qi Huai, who had suddenly become able to hear Ji Tong's thoughts: ...?

During a game of truth or dare, Ji Tong was asked who she liked. "Of course it's Big Brother Qi Huai!"

"I'd have to be blind to like him."

Qi Huai, sitting nearby, watched Ji Tong act shy and sweet while trash-talking him in her head. His hands clenched as he ground his teeth.

One day, Qi Huai got drunk, fished out his phone, and, without even unlocking the screen, held it to his ear and yelled with his eyes closed, "Ji Tong! How dare you not like me?! How dare you not like me..."

Ji Tong was sitting right across from him. "..."

This plot wasn't going the way it was supposed to.

Theme: Keep hope in your heart, and in the end, you'll always find sunshine.
