A deep bow. Blurb: An Yang was a top chef at a post-apocalyptic base. She died after being caught in the crossfire of a major zombie war. When she woke up again, it was the food- and clothing-scarce 1960s. Dawan Village had just suffered a hillside collapse, which had claimed many lives. Everyone in An Yang's family was gone. As it happened, another person was trapped beneath the rubble with her, a soldier from a nearby military district, or so they said. The two of them were rescued after being trapped for three days and two nights. When she woke up, there was a man in front of her. His voice rang out, firm and clear. "I'll marry you." An Yang: ???? Her eldest aunt by marriage: "Yang, you should marry him. Your uncle and I really can't take in another person." Her second aunt by marriage: "Yangyang, who else could you marry if not him? Everyone's heard about this. They'll drown you in spit if you don't." Her third aunt by marriage: "An Yang, soldiers are a good match. They get allowances, so you won't go hungry." An Yang had been ready to think this world was unbearably noisy, but those words instantly woke her right up. She nodded at the man. "I'll marry you." The man coughed twice. "Comrade An Yang, I have three children." An Yang: ????? "Ahem. Do I have a child too?" "Will your allowance be enough to feed the whole family?" The man hesitated, then nodded. After all, he was a battalion commander. An Yang just wanted to eat her fill first. Anyone who has faced death knows that life and death are small matters. Having enough to eat is what really matters. 1. The heroine has a golden finger related to farming and planting. The story combines everyday family life with a career plotline. 2. None of the children belong to the male or female lead. The heroine is remarrying, while this is the hero's first marriage. They share the same values and work together to build a future. 3. This is mostly an alternate setting with plenty of author-created details. Don't compare it to reality. Just enjoy the story. 4. I hope all you lovely readers will show your support and help this little steamed bun grow into a big one. Love you all, mwah! My next book, Springtime Is Lovely, is looking for favorites! Zhou Huaining was forty-two or forty-three when she died. Outside, the sun was bright, and spring was in full bloom. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the years before her coming-of-age ceremony. The Fifth Miss Zhou knew then that kindness and mercy couldn't save anyone. If she met a god, she would kill a god; if she met a ghost, she would kill a ghost. She would rather stain her own hands with blood than let others butcher her. Content warnings: 1. An old-school family-intrigue novel. Very old-school. 2. The male and female leads are about ten years apart in age. 3. Strict boundaries between men and women. An alternate setting inspired by the Ming dynasty. Theme: Spreading positive energy
