The Salted-Fish Supporting Character Wants to Give Up [The 1970S]

[Complete] A flood during the Dragon Boat Festival sweeps away the educated youth's dormitory. Tian Chengcheng is the only female educated youth who doesn't make it out, so the brigade leader has no choice but to take her home and nurse her back to health. Who would have thought that when the pretty educated youth wakes up, she would want to date the brigade leader's good-for-nothing son, who has nothing going for him but his face? She says she'll bring her grain coupons, cloth coupons, industrial goods coupons, and bicycle when he's old enough to register their marriage, then take him to the city! Comrade Tian, are you awake in body but not in mind? Or did you hit your head? If you like pretty faces, why not just look in a mirror? Tian Chengcheng, a fan of period novels who has already read the plot, smiles mysteriously. You just don't understand. This is called getting in first and securing a good backer, so I can be a laid-back female lead. Who wants to be a cannon-fodder supporting actress? Sweet but slightly scheming Tian Chengcheng × righteous and loyal Han Yunchang A short, lighthearted story about everyday family life Coming next → [Back Before the Big Shot Turned Dark, 1990s] Tang Weining only knows two things about Cheng Yu: he's the top student in their grade, and he's the son of a criminal on the run. Cheng Yu's father has been on the run for some crime, but whether he'll end up in prison is still undecided. Behind his back, though, everyone calls Cheng Yu the criminal's son. All his classmates ostracize him. He always sits in a corner of the last row, his hair forever hanging below his eyes, and he always comes first in class... He's either bent over his homework or sleeping at his desk. Few people have ever seen his real face, but Tang Weining has. In the final month before the college entrance exam, evening study ended later and later each day. One stormy night, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, several drunk men dragged Tang Weining into an alley. At that split second, Cheng Yu appeared. He fought off all four men, rain running from the tips of his hair, his features clear and his voice cold. "I was never here, and you don't know me." By the light of the lightning, Tang Weining memorized that face, cold, ruthless, and unforgiving like the stormy night, dangerous yet breathtaking. Then came the day the exam results were announced, and a red banner fluttered in the wind above the school: "Provincial Top Scorer Cheng Yu, Second Place Tang Weining." Cheng Yu never enrolled at a university. Rumor had it he went to the border to look for his father. Tang Weining heard nothing more about Cheng Yu until after she graduated and started working. Even in her dreams, she couldn't forget those cold, ruthless eyes from that stormy night. An inexpressible regret took root in her heart and, day by day, grew into a towering tree. Then, on the day she was hit by a car, just before Tang Weining fell, she heard a news bulletin scrolling across the electronic screen in the plaza across the street: "In financial news, GQ Group CEO Cheng Yu fell to his death from the top floor of GQ Tower in the early hours of this morning. The cause of death is unknown. GQ shares will officially be delisted from the X Exchange effective today..." As darkness closed in, Cheng Yu's face grew clearer in Tang Weining's mind. They couldn't be born on the same day, but they could die on the same day. Somehow, that didn't seem so regrettable. Time returned to the summer of 1995. Tang Weining had just taken the college entrance exam. Overjoyed, she picked up a basket of fruit with trembling hands and went to Cheng Yu's front door...
