Ni Xiangnan transmigrates to the impoverished 1970s and opens her eyes at a blind date.

The good news: Her father is the production team's leader, her brother is a militia commander, she can eat without working in the fields, and she's bound to a beauty System that gives her meat to eat.

The bad news: She's landed in a harem novel written for men. Not only is she a disposable ex-wife who gives the male lead a chance to return to the city, she's also a foil to the cousin of one of his harem members.

Her cousin is hardworking, capable, pretty, and slender, the ideal wife every man in the surrounding villages wants to marry.

She is lazy, greedy, and cunning, with a big, fat head and a weight of 250 pounds. She's the notorious lazy girl of the surrounding villages.

Watching the women in the male lead's harem get up before dawn and stay up late to wash his clothes and cook for him.

Ni Xiangnan: I respect their choices, but I don't wish them well.

Rather than marry a communal cucumber, she'd rather marry the wild young man in the village who had no parents.

The wild young man was poor, sure, but he died young!

Once her husband died, she could ride the tide of reform and opening up, use her System, and become a gorgeous young widow. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Besides, he had a bad class background, lived nearby, and would be easy to control. He wasn't bad-looking, either! With her current appearance, it wasn't even clear who'd be getting the short end of the stick!

After thinking it over, Ni Xiangnan decided, on her own, to marry him!

But after they got married, Ni Xiangnan waited and waited...

She waited for him to upgrade his life and make a fortune. She waited for reform and opening up to arrive... So why wasn't he dead yet?

Looking at the man bent over massaging her feet, and the newly moved-in courtyard house,

Ni Xiangnan thought: Forget it. We already have two kids, and if he dies, I'll have to raise them myself.

Ji Rubei was reborn and returned to the darkest period of his life. Fortunately, his storage space had come with him. He planned to keep his supplies and quietly get through the next few years, but then he noticed they were slowly disappearing. A thief!

After confirming that the missing supplies were connected to the production team leader's lazy, gluttonous, chubby daughter, Ji Rubei cornered her.

Before he could demand an explanation, she spoke first: "Marry me, and I'll have my father arrange an easier job for your grandmother."

Ji Rubei looked at the little chubby girl bundled up like a dumpling, with only her eyes showing, and scoffed to himself. What a joke. Did she think he was the kind of man who'd sell his looks?

"Fine!"

She was just a chubby girl. If she wanted to marry him, so be it. Once this difficult period was over, he'd divorce her! Besides, he still hadn't figured out how his supplies had gone missing. And as for consummating the marriage? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But...

The little chubby girl changed a little every day.

Her waist grew slimmer and her hips fuller. She even deliberately wore clothes a size too small and swayed in front of him every day. Her arms and legs were so pale and smooth that a touch left a red mark, and her looks were downright bewitching.

She was doing it on purpose. It was absolutely deliberate.

Ji Rubei couldn't take it anymore. In the middle of the night, he shamelessly slipped into her bed.

Since she was his wife, it was only right for him to fulfill his marital duties, wasn't it?
