The Male Lead Gets a Good Husband System [The 1970s]

Ji An'an was once the famous good girl of the military compound: pretty, well-behaved, and excellent at school.

But a week ago, her mother died unexpectedly. At her father's matchmaking banquet, Ji An'an furiously flipped over the heavy wooden table and kicked the sturdy front door to pieces. With a fierce look on her face, she said:

"I forgot to tell you all, I'm unbelievably strong. Anyone who wants to test me is welcome to come to the Ji family and try being my stepmother."

Her father, the eager prospective "stepmothers," the matchmaker with her frozen smile, and the friends and guests watching from the sidelines: "..."

Ji An'an turned and left, only to make even bigger news a few days later!

On her way to visit her maternal grandmother, she rescued a man and brought him back to the compound as her... child husband!

"Old man, I'm warning you. If you even think about getting married again, the moment you register your marriage to that woman, I'll leave home with my man!"

Ji An'an took her child husband by the hand and decisively put him in the room next to hers.

Her father was so furious he could barely breathe: "..."

Everyone else in the compound thought Ji An'an had gone crazy because she couldn't accept her mother's death.

Her whole life was probably ruined now.

But that child husband was quite handsome. He smiled shyly, with a hint of sweetness, and they said he had suffered a hard life, too.

Hard-luck child husband Jiang Mu: "..."

Jiang Mu, from the twenty-first century, woke up to find he had transmigrated to the impoverished 1970s. His grandparents favored others, his stepmother was vicious, and his younger siblings were a bunch of brats who bullied him. With nothing to eat or wear, he was forced to work in the fields every day and could barely get by.

He was bound to a [Good Husband System] from an empire ruled by women, but couldn't activate it because he couldn't find a suitable wife.

How miserable! Truly miserable!

Until he accidentally fell into a river and was rescued by a pretty young girl...
