Only Daughter of the 1970s

Completed period dramas in my column: Newlyweds Transmigrate to the Seventies and The Whole Family Transmigrates to the Seventies

Blurb 1

Lin Baixia misstepped in her villa, had an accident, and transmigrated into a period novel she'd read before.

But she isn't the transmigrated heroine. The heroine is her cousin, and she's just a cannon-fodder villainess in the book.

In the original story, the heroine calls her father, the eldest uncle, an "ungrateful wretch." The original Lin Baixia, his daughter, grew jealous of the heroine and tried to seduce the male lead, only to meet a tragic end.

Luckily, Lin Baixia has transmigrated into her body before any of that has happened.

And in this era of scarce supplies, her family's villa has come along with her. That gives her a little golden finger, at least.

Blurb 2:

Ever since transmigrating, Lin Baixia has been living a very comfortable life.

Her parents both have secure jobs in the county town, and as their hard-won only child, she's been treasured and spoiled by them.

Later, that man cherishes and spoils her just as much, for the rest of her life!

Only after they marry does she learn that he'd fallen for her long ago.

1. The heroine lives in a small county town, not the countryside. Her cousin, the original heroine, and her family do live in the countryside, so the story has very little about earning work points or educated youth. If that's not your thing, take note and avoid it!

2. A sweet, doting period romance. The male lead isn't the original male lead.

3. It's mostly everyday life (maybe more like a diary?). Your mileage may vary. If you don't like it, click away. Maybe we'll meet again! Kisses~

A similar story of mine: The Only Daughter in a Sixties Worker Family

Cheng Liyue transmigrates into the sixties, right in the middle of the three difficult years. She's born frail and sickly, and it looks like she won't survive.

Many people in the apartment block who know Cheng's parents say the little girl won't make it.

But in this life, her parents are determined to keep her, raising her at the cost of everything they own.

As two wage-earning workers, they pour all their money into hospital bills and live on a tight budget, but after doing everything they can, they manage to save her.

Luckily, she also has a golden finger: a space filled with all kinds of supplies.

The other families in the apartment block have to carefully budget. They can barely afford plain steamed buns and white rice even once or twice a month.

But with their space to rely on, the three members of Cheng Liyue's family eat rice and steamed buns, have meat at every meal, and never run short of fresh fruit!

Later, she rides the wave of reform and opening up and makes a fortune with her parents!

Compared with the time of her birth, their lives keep getting better and better, giving a crushing face-slapping to those who mocked her parents for having only a girl and said they had no one to rely on in their old age!

1. The heroine's parents are workers in the provincial capital, so there's almost no rural farming or work-point-earning. Don't read if that's not your thing.

2. Just the everyday life of an only daughter and her family, simple and peaceful.

Another similar story: Only Daughter in the Fifties

Also known as Everyday Life in a Worker Family in the Fifties

Qiao Banxia, who grew up in an orphanage, is reborn into the fifties as a baby. After ten years of marriage, her parents finally have a daughter, and they dote on her dearly.

Although the fifties are a difficult time, she has a trading System and the family affection she'd longed for in her previous life. Qiao Banxia is very pleased with this transmigration.

Her family is also lucky enough to arrive at just the right time. Though they came from the countryside, they still manage to get city residency.

From her grandparents to her parents, everyone works in the provincial capital, and their life is wonderful.

But Qiao Banxia, who's enjoying her good life, has no idea that she's actually transmigrated into a book. Her family is just background scenery, with no introduction beyond a single line.

The heroine of the book is the daughter of a rural production-team leader, the male lead is an educated youth, and Qiao Banxia's cousin is the villainess. Their entanglement takes hundreds of chapters to resolve.

*

Years later, Qiao Banxia looks at her attentive, thoughtful boyfriend, who even knits sweaters for her. He's also the male lead's best friend. She wonders whether she should hurry up and break up with him.

She's heard that people around the male and female leads are usually cannon fodder, and all the trouble that comes with them sounds exhausting. She really doesn't want to get tangled up in their affairs.

Lu Baiqing, who's busy knitting a sweater for his girlfriend, looks up in confusion. "Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Looking at that handsome, jade-like face that's exactly her type, Qiao Banxia can't bring herself to say she wants to break up.

Theme: Hard work leads to wealth.
