The author has another completed novel in the same vein, *The Daily Life of a Only Daughter of a 1960s Factory Worker*
Blurb: Qiao Jiajia, who grew up in an orphanage, transmigrated into the 1950s while still in the womb. As the only child her parents had after years of marriage, she was utterly adored by them.
The 1950s were a little rough, but after finally finding the family love she had long yearned for in her previous life, Qiao Jiajia was quite happy with her transmigration.
Her family had also caught a lucky break. Though they came from the countryside, they had managed to get urban household registration.
From her grandparents to her parents, every one of them worked in the provincial capital. Her grandfather was the steel mill's only Grade Eight fitter, earning 126 yuan a month, even more than the factory director. Their family lived extremely well.
But Qiao Jiajia, blissfully enjoying her good life, had no idea that she had actually transmigrated into a period novel, and that her family was merely part of the background.
The novel's heroine was the daughter of a rural production-team leader, the hero was an educated youth, and Qiao Jiajia's cousin was a cannon-fodder supporting female character. Their entanglements went on for hundreds of chapters without ever reaching a conclusion.
*
Years later, Qiao Jiajia watched her attentive, considerate boyfriend, who even knitted sweaters for her. He was also the hero's friend. She wondered whether she ought to break up with him right away.
She had heard that people around the hero and heroine usually ended up as cannon fodder, with all sorts of trouble following them. She really didn't want to get caught up in their affairs.
Lu Baiqing wore a formal suit and had a stern, composed air, yet sat behind his desk knitting a sweater for his young girlfriend. Looking up at her, he asked slowly, his expression unreadable:
“Jiajia, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch that.”
Looking at that handsome, jade-like face, which perfectly matched her tastes, Qiao Jiajia couldn't bring herself to say she wanted to break up.
A Few Reading Tips
1. A slice-of-life story with no golden finger, a gentle and heartwarming slow burn. The heroine is an only daughter, and the story follows the everyday life of her family.
2. The story opens in 1956. The title says the 1950s, but the 1960s and 1970s will also feature. The anti-piracy ratio is 50%, and the text is frequently revised, so pirated versions may differ!
3. Part of the Only Daughter series. The author's column has two completed novels of the same type: *The Daily Life of a Only Daughter of a 1960s Factory Worker* and *An Only Daughter in the 1970s*.
Coming Soon 1: *An Only Daughter in the 1990s*
Chu Yinghua transmigrated into the 1990s while still in the womb after a car accident.
The only daughter of a dual-income family in a small county town, Chu Yinghua was doted on from childhood by all six adults in her family: her parents, paternal grandparents, and maternal grandparents.
Luckily, Chu Yinghua wasn't really a little kid. Otherwise, being spoiled like that would have made it hard not to turn into a brat.
But she noticed something a little odd about her dad. He seemed far too domestic.
“Housework is a man's job. You just sit back and relax, honey.”
“I'll take care of Yinghua. How could I make you look after the kid?”
“My wife is so wonderful. She married me even though I'm too heroic and handsome.”
“Ah, daughters are great! Now that we've had a daughter, I can finally say I've done right by my wife.”
Only later did Chu Yinghua learn that her father had come from a matriarchal world.
Coming Soon 2
*Marrying a Rough-Hewn Man in the 1970s*
Mei Yu was beautiful and had been fawned over since childhood. Her family was poor, but they had still raised her to be haughty.
When she heard that movie stars made good money, she eagerly planned to become one as soon as she graduated from high school. Instead, she transmigrated to the late 1970s.
Not long after transmigrating, Mei Yu became just like the original owner, infamous in the village as a cautionary example: greedy, lazy, and spoiled rotten by her parents, the quintessential awful younger sister.
Mei Yu: The original owner was pretty clever. So what if people curse me a little? It's so comfortable not having to work. I'm not stupid enough to change.
The villagers whispered among themselves. With her flighty ways and coquettish looks, she clearly wasn't fit to run a household. What family would want such a handful as a daughter-in-law? She'd never find a husband.
But the most capable man in the village ignored all the hardworking young women and set his sights on the lazy, gluttonous Mei Yu.
Mei Yu thought back over the original owner's memories. The man was stern-looking and tall, a real roughneck, but he indulged the original owner in everything. He never hit back or talked back, and most importantly, he was strong enough to earn full work points every day and had money in his pocket.
To keep living the good life, eating whatever she wanted and having everything handed to her, Mei Yu agreed to marry him without a second thought.
What Mei Yu didn't know was that she had transmigrated into a book.
The heroine was her second sister-in-law, and Mei Yu was the heroine's awful younger sister-in-law.
A spoiled, fussy beauty × a devoted roughneck
