[70s] Back to the Years When My Mom Was the Village Beauty

In a word: I'm shipping my real parents, and nothing's going to stop me!

Blurb:

Until she was fourteen, Zhong Pingping was a little princess, cherished by her parents.

Then Zhong Zhengqing, her father, was sabotaged by his business rivals, and the Zhong family went bankrupt.

Unable to bear the blow, Zhong Zhengqing died, leaving his wife and daughter with tens of millions in debt.

Her mother, Qiao Sihui, endured every hardship to repay her husband's debts and raise her daughter.

But Zhong Pingping was rebellious and couldn't tell right from wrong. She believed the gossip made up by tabloid reporters, claiming that Qiao Sihui had cheated on Zhong Zhengqing while he was alive, and that Jiang Xincheng, the rising star of Nancheng who had plotted against the Zhong family and caused its bankruptcy, was also Qiao Sihui's old flame.

Zhong Pingping took the newspaper to confront her mother. Qiao Sihui slapped her with tears in her eyes, and Zhong Pingping ran away from home.

When Zhong Pingping opened her eyes again,

she had somehow returned to 1978!

That year, Qiao Sihui was only thirteen, a graceful young girl known as the "village belle" of Banxi Village.

There was her real mother, Qiao Sihui, with her hair in braids and a green military-style shoulder bag emblazoned with "Serve the People," standing beside Jiang Xincheng.

The two were smiling at each other and looked like a perfect match.

Suddenly, a group of arrogant, ill-intentioned boys surrounded them.

Zhong Pingping grabbed a wooden stick and rushed over.

She looked up,

and saw the leader, a "teenage version" of Zhong Zhengqing, holding a slender twig in his mouth, chin raised, watching her with carefree insolence.

It was actually her own father, usually so steady, self-controlled, and refined!

Zhong Pingping stamped her foot,

then turned and pointed the stick at Jiang Xincheng. "Stay... away from Qiao Sihui!"

Zhong Zhengqing was so shocked that the twig fell from his mouth: ...

Dad, I'll protect your wife for you!

[This is a story about a rebellious daughter who transmigrates into the past and grows up alongside her parents when they were young, as they save one another.]

Content notes:

1. The heroine's parents are a secondary couple. The heroine has her own love interest, and there are no extreme or taboo elements!

2. The story focuses on friendship and family, with romance later on.

3. It's still a slice-of-life story, warm and tender, with a slow pace, family ups and downs, mutual growth, and healing.
