Blurb:
Jiang Tang wakes up one morning in the 1970s.
Her parents are both dead, and she has lived with her uncle and aunt since childhood. When she reaches marriageable age, her greedy relatives force her to marry Xu Wanggui, a man with two children.
The moment Jiang Tang opens her eyes, she sees two filthy, soot-black children.
Jiang Tang: ...I can hardly breathe.
To escape her uncle and aunt, she has no choice but to keep up her marriage with Xu Wanggui and take the two children to join the army where he is stationed.
*
During a visit home, Xu Wanggui is introduced to the kindhearted, hardworking Jiang Tang, and they register their marriage.
On the very day they marry, an urgent mission forces him to leave his new wife and the two children back in their hometown.
He has barely finished his mission when Jiang Tang turns up at his post with the children.
Xu Wanggui thought he had married a simple, hardworking wife. Little did he know that he'd married a little tyrant.

Blurb:
The moment she opens her eyes, Song Jinhe finds herself in the 1970s, as a notorious, downtrodden young widow.
Her husband has died, and she is raising two children alone. Her husband's elder and younger brothers covet her property and do everything they can to drive her out of the house.
Song Jinhe listens to the pounding at the door, then looks at Shen An beside her. He's handsome, but his expression is grim.
Sympathy appears in her almond-shaped eyes. This unlucky man has been dragged into her mess.
Shen An never imagined that he wouldn't fall to his enemies in this life, but instead would fall to someone else's greed.
He only went home for a visit. By the time he returned to Dongzhou Island, he had a wife and two children.
When people hear that Commander Shen has remarried, to a widow with two children who is also an ignorant countrywoman, everyone on the island is stunned, then sighs and pities him.
But who could have guessed? The so-called countrywoman can tutor children in their studies and speak both Chinese and foreign languages with ease. She can drive, sail a boat, and run a factory. She truly puts into practice the idea that women can hold up half the sky.
Everyone: ...So we're the clowns!
And the two children
In the morning, while Song Jinhe sleeps soundly, the children go shopping, make breakfast, and do the laundry...
At night, while Song Jinhe sits with her feet up enjoying the cool air, the children wash the pots and dishes and draw her bath...
As for Shen An, whenever people bring him up, they all shake their heads. A stepfather is a stepfather: the children are already so obedient and sensible, yet Commander Shen still looks at them like he can't stand the sight of them.
Shen An: ...
What a raw deal. I just want to take good care of my wife and win her over. Those two little brats keep snatching all the chores from me. How am I supposed to look cheerful?

Theme: Keep working hard and never give up.
Why do you think the heroine is a bit stupid? That boy lied first and revealed his identity so quickly. Wasn't it because he wasn't beaten enough before? I just don't have a long memory... There is a huge difference in physical strength between a woman and a man... And I don't know what the other person's plans are behind... It's really not too bad. As a factory director, there is no trait of being "calm and in control of the overall situation". Regarding XX Yu, the heroine should adopt the attitude of "see what drama she sings", see what kind of person she is, and then decide how to deal with it. Moreover, Aunt Su either had bad intentions or improper control, which led to accepting everyone. Doesn't the heroine look at the ledger? Don't you also look at the operation of the factory? You can also read it when you are recovering from injuries.
Political Commissar Wu is not reliable enough in his work. It involves his own son. He inquired about it so carelessly. Alas...
The pace is too fast. I thought I was reading the introduction. Maybe I am tired of writing and don't want to write anymore.
The critical moment is gone. Woo woo
Updates are slow and intermittent, which affects everyone's mood when reading the article. At least it can be updated once every two days. It has been so long and boring.
It's been so long since I updated that I can't remember anything I said earlier.
Speechless. It's a chronicle that looks like something. The readers have to guess everything. Forget about serious foreshadowing. They have to guess everything trivial.
Leap style. That's not to say there's no ending. It's rather hasty. Conversations are lively in between. Full of heart. It's just the details of this story that are not particularly adequate.
The ending is a bit rushed. But the article is very catchy
It's the 21st, when will it be updated?
