The Cannon Fodder's First Love Awakens in the Seventies

Only after Ye Qianxin died did she learn that she was a throwaway character in a male-centric period novel.

As the male lead Yan Weidong's first love, she financed him when he was down on his luck. Even her death helped bring the leads together.

And the heroine was her half-sister, Ye Chunyan.

Unlike Ye Qianxin, Ye Chunyan accepted the male lead unconditionally. In the end, she moved him enough to marry her, and spent her life raising his children and cooking for him, living happily ever after.

But...

After being reborn, Ye Qianxin stepped outside the story and discovered that Ye Chunyan's so-called "happiness" was just a supporting role in the male lead's life. She was merely a tool who got to live a little longer.

This time, Ye Qianxin decided to stay away from the leads' main plot and live for herself.

At her next matchmaking meeting, Ye Qianxin was preparing to take the entrance exam for the National Academy of Fine Arts. On a whim, she pointed to Meng Chan, her ex-husband's cousin, who was a soldier stationed far away, never came home, and later died young of an illness.

A man who never came home sounded perfect. A man who stayed away was a treasure. As long as he didn't bother her, it would be fine if he never showed up for the rest of his life.

But later, as Ye Qianxin opened an art studio, earned her doctorate, and traveled abroad to represent the country's finest traditional Chinese painting, Meng Chan stayed by her side, coming home to her every single day.

-

Meng Chan had met Ye Qianxin long ago. When his family arranged a match for him, he rushed back from out of town after traveling all night, but still arrived too late.

Thinking he had no chance anymore, he turned around and submitted a request to serve on the border.

But the day before Meng Chan was due to leave, he saw Ye Qianxin again.

He thought it was just a coincidence, never expecting her to smile and say that she'd come to see him.
