The Model Couple of the Compound [The 1980s]

Xia Yu transmigrates into a book and becomes the handsome ex-wife of the male lead in a period novel.

Unfortunately, the ex-wife is a cannon-fodder supporting character, existing only as a stepping stone to deepen the romance between the male and female leads.

In the story that follows, the male lead will reunite with the white moonlight he has just welcomed back from overseas. When the female supporting character finds out, she gets jealous, jumps to conclusions, and throws tantrums. Her whole string of cannon-fodder antics turns their fairly cozy home into a madhouse.

In the end, she leaves with nothing, ends up homeless, and meets a miserable fate.

Xia Yu: ... I'm out of here. Whoever wants to be cannon fodder can take the job.

Wouldn't it be great to start a little business and ride the wave of reform and opening up to the top?

Men?

Ha. Once I'm rich, I can find any number of hot young guys.

On her first day after transmigrating into the book, Xia Yu can't wait to ask for a divorce.

*

Qin Liyuan is handsome and talented. He's spent ten years in the army earning countless honors, and there are matchmakers by the dozen hoping to set him up. Yet in the end, he marries a country girl.

They've been married for years, but his wife refuses to join him at his post, living with their daughter in a small county town instead. They barely see each other a few times a year.

Everyone sighs, thinking the couple are more distant than strangers. They secretly watch the drama unfold and bet on when the young couple will split up.

At last, one day Xia Yu asks for a divorce. Qin Liyuan refuses almost without thinking. “Why?”

Xia Yu: “Because you don't uphold a husband's virtue.”

Qin Liyuan: “??”

Seeing that his wife isn't joking, Qin Liyuan thinks it over and says hesitantly, “There's one year left. Let's wait until I leave the army, then get divorced. Until then, we're still husband and wife.”

Fine. It's only one year. She can tough it out, and it'll be over before she knows it.

Xia Yu readily agrees.

One year later

She looks at her soon-to-be ex-husband bustling around the kitchen, then at the baby in her arms, babbling and drooling.

Weren't they supposed to get divorced? How did they end up having a child?

And become the model couple everyone in the military compound envies?!

*The leads are both sexually inexperienced, one-on-one romance, feel-good and sweet

"After Mom Wakes Up in the Eighties"

Lin Zheng is known throughout Shihe Village as a hardworking woman. Her husband is the most skillful carpenter in the village, and their daughter is a beauty the likes of whom the village hasn't seen in a century.

They are happy and close-knit, but a rumor tears their family apart.

Believing the gossip, her husband decides their daughter was fathered by another man. Her in-laws call her a seductress, her own family calls her shameless, and everyone in the family tries to send the child away. In the end, the girl is abused by her adoptive parents and dies with resentment in her heart.

When Lin Zheng receives the news, she is devastated. For countless nights, she soaks her pillow with tears, spending the rest of her life consumed by grief and regret.

Fortunately, Heaven takes pity on her and lets her be reborn in the year before her daughter is sent away.

Seeing her daughter covered in patched clothes, Lin Zheng bursts into tears.

“This time, Mom will never send you away! We will never be separated!”

Fang Zhiguo, who has just found a family willing to take the girl: “The child's new parents are both here. When are we sending her away?”

Looking at the husband who claims to love her forever but doesn't trust her, Lin Zheng laughs scornfully.

“Send her away? Aren't you the one who should leave?”

Lin Zheng decides to ride the wave of reform and opening up, save enough money to take her daughter to the city, and get a divorce before they go. She also has to figure out how to squeeze a bit of child support out of Fang Zhiguo.

Not long after they leave the small village that would have devoured them, her former in-laws come knocking, asking Lin Zheng to help them get rich too, for the sake of the child.

Lin Zheng is so angry she laughs. She turns around and finds her daughter a tall, handsome, never-married, sweet-natured new dad.

Fang Zhiguo is furious: “Even if you remarry, the child will always recognize me as her only father!”

Lin Zheng laughs scornfully, points at Fang Zhiguo, and asks her daughter, “Who is he?”

The little girl chirps, “Mister!”

Lin Zheng points at her stepfather. “And who is he?”

The little girl throws herself into the man's arms and cries happily, “Daddy!”

Looking at the happy family of three, Fang Zhiguo: “???”
