After her father dies young, Meng Ning is left with a "secure government job," a traditional courtyard house, and a little brother to care for, even though she's only just started college.
Outside the family, her kind-faced but ruthless aunt is rubbing her hands together, while inside, her scheming uncle watches like a hawk.
Meng Ning knows she can't handle it all alone. She needs to find a powerful man to keep them in line.
After his wife cheats on him and leaves their three-year-old daughter behind, Han Jing entrusts her to his parents and older brother and sister-in-law. When he returns home on leave, he discovers his daughter's hands and face are frostbitten, her clothes are too thin, her hair is dry and yellow and matted, and snot is running down to her lips. A group of children point at her and call her a motherless bastard.
Meanwhile, his niece has rosy cheeks and fine clothes, and is holding court among the children, egging them on.
Holding his daughter, Han Jing thinks: It's time to find her a kind stepmother.
Meng Ning accidentally witnesses Han Jing's failed matchmaking attempt. The man is in uniform, has an air of righteousness, and is strong enough to handle the local hoodlums and troublesome relatives. If she takes good care of his child, she'd get a salary every month and wouldn't have to see him every day. Sounds pretty good.
So Meng Ning tucks a stray lock of hair behind her ear, reveals a gentle profile, and volunteers herself. "Comrade Han, how about I become your wife?"
Han Jing looks at the young woman, who seems younger than his own sister, and frowns. "Marriage isn't a small matter..."
"I know." Meng Ning gives her little brother, standing beside her, a gentle nudge and does her best to sell herself. "To be honest, I raised my brother all by myself. See how well I did?"
Han Jing's gaze shifts from her slender figure to the chubby boy beside her. He has rosy cheeks, clean clothes, and good manners. He's quiet and well-behaved.
Not bad.
Meng Ning murmurs, "Dongdong, say hello."
Dongdong obediently bows to Han Jing. "Hello, Uncle."
Meng Ning awkwardly corrects him. "Not uncle."
Dongdong catches on and stammers, "Then... b-brother-in-law?"
Han Jing: "..."
A spirited, capable, food-loving young wife × a stern, serious older man who never unbuttons his uniform collar

The male lead is not a virgin, while the female lead is. There is an age gap, provisionally eight years.
The leads are locals, so don't project modern ideas onto them.
The male lead is incredibly strong. The female lead excels at playing the innocent, acting like a green tea, taking down scumbags, and raising children.
One-line summary: A young stepmother rides the waves of the 1970s, raising kids and making delicious food.

Synopsis: The man takes her to the village where he grew up. The place is cramped, and the muddy roads are hard to walk on.
"Xiao Nuan, if you'd known me twenty years ago, you definitely wouldn't have liked me."
Wen Nuan thinks, why wait twenty years? She doesn't like him all that much now.
Then she closes her eyes and opens them again, and she's back in the early 1990s.
Her family still has a savings account with over seven figures, two cars, three villas, and two maids.
Her biological brother has polished his leather shoes until they gleam, dressed himself up to the nines, and is about to go to a factory meeting.
Wen Nuan glances at the date, grabs her brother by the tie, and locks him back in the house without saying a word.
Her brother pounds on the door helplessly. "Are you crazy?"
Wen Nuan checks the accounts through the door without even looking up. "No, you are."
Today is the day her brother gets swindled out of over a million!
#What a spendthrift#
The most she dares spend on a handbag is a hundred thousand!
Wen Nuan takes her brother's bankbook and throws money at real estate; whispers in her mother's ear to expose the maternal uncle's family's money-making scam; hires people to investigate the books and sends the deputy general manager and the finance department to jail...
Finally, she sells the factory her father built with his own hands.
Her brother is forced to sign the papers. "I could still turn things around, you know."
Wen Nuan flips through a fashion magazine. "Please be quiet. Thank you."
In her past life, her brother proved through blood and tears that #all their family's business genes died with their father#
With enough property deeds to fill three boxes, Wen Nuan can finally live carefree, eat, and wait to die.
But, for reasons beyond explanation, she still grabs her newly bought Chanel, slips on her water-sensitive lambskin shoes, carefully avoids the crowds and puddles, and walks to the bus station parking lot.
There stands a man in a tank top, a cigarette between his teeth, fresh from a fight. His eyes and brows hold none of the refined warmth she's familiar with, only a cold glare and impatient irritability.
"Why are you following me?"
Wen Nuan: ...Sorry to bother you.
But before she can turn around, the man calls her back and asks, awkwardly,
"Hey, what's your name?"
Wen Nuan: …
A dirt-poor country boy who makes you want to send him money × a stunning young lady, a flower of wealth and privilege

Content warnings: 1. This isn't a conventional pampered-wife story. The heroine is beautiful but devious, and she's an expert at spotting and taking down scumbags. She's great at playing the innocent and acting like a green tea, and she doesn't support the poor.
2. The hero knows her, and this isn't their first meeting in the blurb.
3. Her biological brother is clueless but lucky, and a total sister-con.
Theme: Just be kind. Heaven will judge fairly.

Back to the Seventies to Cling to a Powerful Patron
I feel that He Bo is a bit miserable. In the last life, Meng Ning married the Kang family and took the blame for them. In this life, Meng Ning married someone and could only wait silently. Meng Ning may not have known that He Bo liked her from the beginning to the end.
He Bo's good intentions are hard to overcome. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Uh, I've finished reading it. It's a very strange article.
At the end of the day, I still feel sorry for Brother He.
Damn, let's have a baby
The pre-collection of "The Old Man's Lovely Wife Reopened" has been released. If you like it, you can save it~ Copywriting: The man took her back to the village where he lived as a child. The village was narrow and cramped, and the dirt road was difficult to walk on. "Xiao Nuan, if you knew me twenty years ago, you would definitely not like me." Nuan Nuan thought that twenty years would be of no use, and she didn't like it very much now. Then, as soon as she closed and opened her eyes, she returned to the early 1990s. Their family also has a seven-figure savings, two cars, three villas, and two aunts. My brother's leather shoes were polished and looked like a dog, and he was getting ready to go to the factory for a meeting. Nuan Nuan glanced at the date, grabbed his brother's tie, and shut him back into the room without saying a word. My brother was unable to knock on the door: Are you crazy? Nuan Nuan checked the accounts through the door without raising his head: No, you are crazy. Just today, his brother was defrauded of more than one million! #Lost family stuff# The most she dares to buy for a bag is 100,000 yuan! Wen Nuan collected her brother's bankbook and spent money to buy a house; she blew her mother-in-law's pillow to expose her uncle's family's pretense of cheating money; she hired people to check the accounts and sent the vice president and finance to squat on the fence... Finally, he sold the factory built by his father. My brother was forced to sign: I can actually save him one more time. Browsing fashion magazines: please shut up, thank you. In the last life, her brother used blood and tears to prove that #all their family's business genes ended with their dead father# The real estate certificate is enough to fill three boxes of warmth, and I can finally eat and wait for death without any burden. However, by some strange coincidence, she carried her newly bought Chanel and walked to the parking lot of the passenger terminal while carefully avoiding the crowds and puddles, wearing water-proof lambskin shoes. There was a man there who was wearing a vest, chewing a cigarette, and had just finished a fight. There was no elegance and gentleness in his eyes that she was familiar with, only a cold brow, and an impatient expression—— "Why are you following me?" Nuan Nuan: ... Excuse me But before she could turn around, the man stopped her again and asked unnaturally. "Hey, what's your name?" Warmth:… One-sentence summary: Don't be a spoiled wife and be a boss, it's best to buy your own bags
The female protagonist is quite clever when it comes to fighting against the best and doing business, but when it comes to the plot with the male protagonist, she really lives up to her title, "The Lovely Wife". Judging from the words of the reborn woman, the happiness of the beloved wife in her previous life was achieved through the sacrifice of the second male lead. I am guilty of not expecting anything from my beloved wife.
To be honest, without He Bo, the heroine's ability would only stop here, and the layout is not as broad as He Bo
