Becoming a Landlady in a Period Novel

Upcoming: My Bloodsucking Sister Is Reborn [The 1970s]

Su Tao is reborn at eighteen, the day before she's about to jump into the fire.

In her previous life, she was bound by family ties, but never received the love she longed for.

Her parents favored her older sister, and her younger brother cared only about money. To get her sister a job, she married the foolish son of a car factory director.

To help her younger brother get ahead, she emptied the family savings to support him.

When her parents fell ill, she stayed by their hospital beds day and night, caring for them without ever letting up.

But in the end, all her parents did was angrily accuse her of forgetting her birth family after marriage. Her sister thought she was weak, and her brother called her an idiot.

Only when she was on the verge of death did she realize that she was living inside a book. The heroine was her beloved older sister, while she was just a poor, unfortunate younger sister mentioned in passing.

Her so-called family were nothing but demons clinging to her, sucking the marrow from her bones.

In this new life, Su Tao wants nothing more to do with this shabby, fake, nauseating family affection. She only wants to live her own life, protect the people who truly deserve it, and help the man she loves find peace and fulfill his wishes.

The male lead's perspective:

Ever since he was sent away to the countryside, he has lived in a cowshed and eaten weeds. Illness plagues him. Though he is unwilling to accept his lot, he can only drift with the tides of the times.

But one day, someone cuts through every obstacle to come to him. She doesn't mind that he's taciturn or sickly. She believes in him, cares for him, and ultimately helps him fulfill his potential.

Reporter: Academician Shen, who has helped you the most on your journey to achieving such great success?

"My wife."

Story blurb

Tong Siyu is a habitual transmigrator. She went from a new-era girl raised under the red flag to a useless outer-sect disciple in a cultivation world, and finally became a passerby character in a book called Sweet Days in the 1970s.

Tong Siyu says modestly that she's used to it.

But what is going on with this book's plot?! Her cheap dad, Tong Zhengguo, has disabled legs and dies in despair. Her cheap mom, Zhou Ying, works herself to death on the job. Her unlucky younger brother goes into business and gets swindled, ending up a beggar.

And as for her, well, she gets married young to a mama's boy, with a nasty mother-in-law to boot. She's forced to have a string of children, and by thirty she looks like a woman in her fifties or sixties...

A certain plant swirls around in 3D in Tong Siyu's mind. She decides to kick this rotten plot to the curb, roll up her sleeves, and build her fortune. She'll buy a mountain, dig fishponds, start businesses. Tong Siyu is going to fulfill her ultimate dream from two lifetimes ago and become a proud landlady!

Bonus scene: Lu Jici spots a house in the capital where his wife attends university. He plans to spend all his savings from his years in the army to buy it for her as a surprise, but the house costs too much.

Later, when his wife takes him to see the house, he realizes that he's the real fool here. His wife is the rich one!

PS: The heroine has a powerful golden finger (the author is obsessed with pocket dimensions).

The setting is an alternate version of the past. History buffs, please stay away.

Theme: Work hard and persevere in striving for self-reliance.
