The Herb-Picking Girl of the Sixties

One shot to the head, and Guan Yue went from the apocalypse to the 1960s, becoming a solitary herb gatherer living in seclusion on a barren mountain.

The people down the mountain were short on food. With a flick of Guan Yue's fingers, her wood-type ability made crop after crop spring up, ready for the pot. But Guan Yue knew her limits. With her terrible cooking, she'd be better off eating everything raw. At least then it would taste as nature intended.

Raw sweet potatoes made her teeth ache, wild fruit left her mouth numb with astringency, and the wild vegetable soup was as bitter as gentian. Good grief, she might as well return to the apocalypse and fight monsters for supermarket supplies.

On yet another day of guarding food she couldn't eat, Guan Yue met a newly arrived educated youth. He casually stewed a pot of chicken and yam soup, and won her heart.

Guan Yue: Come on, handsome. Let's make a deal: food for medicinal herbs.

Facing the hungry young woman, Gu Sui, who had been forced to travel far from home, smiled.

From that moment on, the grand houses in the city were nothing compared to the vast mountain forest and the foxlike young woman before him.

Blurb for "The Antique Dealer Goes to the 1970s":

Yunduan, frail and helpless with no one to rely on, brought a little boy back to Phoenix City to recuperate. She settled into the old Yun family home to make a life for them.

After mother and son came back, they lived in the old house for two years. The man people said was hers hadn't even sent her a letter, and the neighbors were full of gossip.

Some said Yunduan's man had changed his mind and found himself a younger, prettier girl. Others said he had died in battle.

Yunduan couldn't care less about the rumors. During the summer break, she took the little one on a trip, and planned to look for a few antiques while they were in the south.

Once they had had their fill of fun, mother and son returned home in high spirits. As soon as she walked out of the station, everyone warmly greeted her and said her man was back.

Yun D: "single beauty," "antique smuggler," Duan stared in bewilderment. Since when did I have a man?

The little boy excitedly tugged on her sleeve. "I found him for you. Do you like him?"

Looking at the tall, handsome man before her, Yunduan: ...

What a thoughtful little boy. Such a good son to his mom!
