A Pretty Cannon-Fodder's Sweet Romance in the 1970s

Sheng Yuzhu was born into a wealthy family and spoiled rotten. She relied on her parents' doting to throw her weight around. Then, after a car accident, she transmigrated into a period novel and became a beautiful but brainless supporting female character.

Unlike the independent, hardworking heroine who built her own wealth, Sheng Yuzhu was selfish and universally disliked. When she competed with the heroine for the male lead, she resorted to every underhanded trick in the book. In the end, the male lead schemed to marry her off to a village deadbeat, and she died after enduring domestic abuse.

Once Sheng Yuzhu learned how her story ended, she immediately said goodbye to those idiots. But after saying goodbye, she had nothing to eat and had to work in the fields. It was exhausting and miserable.

She decided to find a powerful backer. Her past experience had taught her that it didn't matter if she was incompetent or caused trouble, as long as her backer was powerful enough to protect her from anything.

Then she noticed the man working in the field beside hers. He was capable and hardworking, with a handsome, stern face. From then on, Sheng Yuzhu stuck by his side every day, begging him to carry her to success.

The man impatiently pinned her against the wall, the tips of his ears turning red, and snarled, "Stop acting cute and trying to win me over."

Lu Yu had spent half his life cold and withdrawn. Everyone in the village was afraid of him, but Sheng Yuzhu wasn't. She even went out of her way to be around him every day.

Everyone said Sheng Yuzhu was lazy and greedy, but only Lu Yu knew that his Yuzhu was delicate and loved beauty. Only by climbing out of the mud and rising above others could he give her the life she deserved and keep her safe.

Later, the male and female leads could only look up at the once-despised Sheng Yuzhu, whom Lu Yu pampered until she became famous around the world.

Heroine: Impossible! I'm reborn, so I'm the protagonist. How can Sheng Yuzhu be even happier than in her previous life after being abandoned?

Zhong Qingzhi transmigrated into a book, a period novel about a stepmother. The stepmother toiled tirelessly to raise her two stepsons, and at last they grew up to become successful. Then, content at last, she died in a hospital bed without ever enjoying a moment of happiness...

On the day she arrived, Zhong Qingzhi saw her two stepsons, who were four or five years old, arguing that they were hungry. Remembering what had happened to the original owner, she decided she wasn't going to exhaust herself for them. She looked at them pitifully. "I feel bad that you're so hungry, too, but what can we do? Your dad didn't bring back any grain. How are we supposed to cook?"

She certainly wasn't going to climb the mountain on an empty stomach to dig up wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, then watch them eat their fill while pretending she wasn't hungry.

While working, she looked at the pile of firewood she was supposed to drag home and gazed weakly at her stepsons. "It's my fault for being so delicate. I just can't compare to you little men."

Was she supposed to work herself to the bone to support them? No way. Get over here and do the work!

The two boys realized that their stepmother, who used to take care of everything, had suddenly become too weak to lift or carry anything. She still fussed over them, but she couldn't go up the mountain to gather wild vegetables or work in the fields, and she even burned the food...

There was nothing for it. They rolled up their sleeves and started doing things for themselves. They couldn't exactly starve to death, could they?

Qin Dongshan had spent three years undercover in secret before finally completing his mission. Wounded, he was sent home to recuperate, still worrying that his family might have been bullied while he was away.

Instead, he found that his newlywed wife was incredibly popular with the villagers, and that his two sons were working like little men, huffing and puffing as they took care of every chore inside and outside the house.

In the morning, he saw that the rice in the pot had burned. Before he could say anything, Zhong Qingzhi murmured through her tears, "It's all my fault. I should have added more water..."

As soon as she finished, Dabao and Erbao ran over, shoved Qin Dongshan aside, and glared at him. "How can you bully Mom, Dad?"

At noon, Qin Dongshan saw Zhong Qingzhi going to fetch water and was about to take over when he discovered that the bucket was broken. Zhong Qingzhi burst into tears.

The next second, Dabao and Erbao angrily scolded Qin Dongshan. "You're a man, Dad. How can you make Mom carry water?"

In the end, Qin Dongshan had no choice but to take over every household chore, from cooking to fetching water to chopping firewood. All he could do was watch as his two sons monopolized his wife...

[Highlight: The two boys are orphans of Qin Dongshan's fallen comrades, whom he adopted.]
