The Delicate Beauty of the Seventies

Gentle, soft, easygoing little slacker x a refined, abstinent wife-spoiling man

Lu Xixi woke up one day in the body of the unloved youngest daughter of a rural family in the 1970s.

On the eve of her wedding, her older sister suddenly came to her senses and insisted on breaking off her engagement. Their mother grabbed Lu Xixi's hand and demanded that she marry the fiance instead.

After breaking off her engagement, her sister turned around and married Lu Xixi's childhood friend, happily waiting to become the wife of a future tycoon.

But then...

While her sister washed diapers, Lu Xixi ate watermelon in a courtyard house.

While her sister dealt with petty family squabbles, Lu Xixi went on a shopping spree at the Friendship Store.

While her sister worked from dawn until late at night doing housework, Lu Xixi became one of the first university students after the college entrance exams were reinstated.

Two years later, her sister was puzzled. Why hadn't she become a tycoon's wife yet? She decided to travel a thousand miles to rekindle the bond she'd once had!

Meanwhile, snow fell thick and fast in the courtyard house, where Lu Xixi stood in the snow making a snowman.

The man bent down and held out a pair of snow boots. "Put these on. They'll keep you warm."

Her sister stared in astonishment. How had Lu Xixi ended up marrying so well? This wasn't how the plot was supposed to go!

This story is set in a fictional world, entirely fictional, so please don't scrutinize it too closely.

A food-focused story.

The Delicate Mother of the Male Lead in a Period Novel

After waking up one day, Lu Youyou found herself in the body of the biological mother who dies young in a period novel about a stepmother.

She never appeared in the novel from beginning to end. The author simply explained that she was in poor health and passed away, then moved on. The story began with the female lead, who enjoyed a life of comfort and luxury and lived happily ever after, loved by both the male lead and his father.

At this point, the male lead was still a little kid, and his father was so busy with work that he rarely came home.

Lu Youyou looked at the courtyard house, then at her husband's substantial savings.

She didn't have long to live anyway, so she might as well eat well, drink well, and enjoy herself. Bring on braised pork knuckles, old duck soup, spicy boiled pork, and beef balls, plus bird's nest, fish soup, and every kind of tonic.

Zhou Nan, the female lead, became aware of her own story. She knew she would marry He Xilou and become his child's stepmother, and that the whole family would live happily ever after. But before the wedding, she'd have to put up with mistreatment from her family and work in the fields.

Zhou Nan didn't want to suffer through that, so she went to the He family ahead of time.

But why was the male lead's mother, who was supposed to die young, still alive?

She waited and waited, expecting Lu Youyou to die, but Lu Youyou not only stayed alive, she even seemed to be pregnant.

Zhou Nan was so angry she smashed things. This wasn't how the plot was supposed to go!

Theme: Walk alongside love.
