Blurb: Ding Caiye was pushed off a bridge by her stepson, Zhan Changdong, and died from the fall. To protect him, her mother-in-law and husband told everyone that she had accidentally fallen off the bridge. At the funeral, her daughter, unaware of the truth, cried her heart out. The murderer, however, put on a show of mourning and inherited the family business and estate years later. Her daughter was married off by her husband to the son of a department head, and suffered domestic abuse and her husband's infidelity... When she returned to her birth family for help, her father scolded her: "Don't be so unreasonable. Your father-in-law just got your younger brother a construction project." Her younger brother grinned and said, "Sis, all men are the same. If you get divorced, you'll be secondhand. Who would want you then?" Her soul drifted for years. One day, she unexpectedly ran into her husband and followed him into his car, where she came across a fashionable middle-aged woman who looked vaguely familiar. Before she could think it through, she heard Zhan Weizhong say with a laugh, "Changdong's got a new girlfriend again. His own father telling him to settle down doesn't work, so you, his own mother, should hurry up and push him to make a decision and give me a big, chubby grandson." The fashionable woman chided him crossly. "Like father, like son. He falls for every woman he sees..." Zhan Weizhong laughed without a care. "Ha ha! After all that wandering, I came back to you in the end, didn't I?" Ding Caiye suddenly understood. It struck her like a bolt of lightning. She screamed in fury and kicked at her husband. Her leg passed through him, and she sprang upright in bed. The room was dark. Her soft, cuddly daughter lay beside her, and her husband still hadn't come home because he was working late... Life had started over. To hell with adopting a child. The stepson was nothing but a bastard conceived by a bitch and a dog. Let them do whatever they wanted this time. Wouldn't it be better to divorce, take her daughter, and build a career as a single mom? Who could have guessed that her old desk mate from middle school would come looking for her? ** After leaving the military, Xie Zhijun returned to his hometown and heard that Ding Caiye had divorced. When she married, he chose to join the military. Now that she was divorced, he was back. Was it fate? "Caiye, come live with me!" The handsome man, standing six foot tall, blushed all the way to his ears as he stammered, "I've liked you since we were in school. I've liked you all these years..." He promised, "Your daughter will be my daughter. She'll be my only daughter for the rest of my life." Ding Caiye stared at him, remembering how he'd driven a black Land Rover, dressed in black casual clothes, and brought a bouquet of white flowers to her grave. She remembered him bending over to carefully clean her grave. Ding Caiye married him. At the wedding, she saw Zhan Weizhong looking as if he'd seen a ghost. Xie Zhijun took her hand and walked up to him with a smile. "Weizhong, say hello to your aunt!" Reading Guide: The male lead is a generation above the scumbag husband, a distant cousin-uncle. In her previous life, the male lead was successful and never married. The heroine doesn't care about his successful life; what matters to her is how clean he kept her grave.

"Life in the 1970s Is as Sweet as Honey" blurb: Not long after Tan Lixia returned to the city, her former middle-school classmate Yu Jinfeng sent someone to propose marriage. They began dating, and after they married, the Yu family arranged a job for her. Everyone in the alley envied her. But because she owed them this favor, it was only right that she keep her head down and make herself small in her husband's family. When she was wronged, Yu Jinfeng would only say, "My parents got you that job, so just put up with it." She put up with it for five or six years. After having a daughter, she still couldn't get pregnant again. Her mother-in-law, displeased, made her try all sorts of folk remedies, one bowl of herbal medicine after another, insisting, "Our family absolutely needs a son. Otherwise, who'll take over Jinfeng's job in the future?" As talk of tightening family-planning rules grew, her mother-in-law's expression at home grew ever more gloomy. Then came the devastating blow. Seeing the two of them sleeping together in bed, Tan Lixia felt as if thunder had struck her. Her mother-in-law sighed in her ear, "What can you expect when your womb's no good? Once I have a boy, I'll let you raise him." Then she put on a superior air and added, "After New Year, I'll use my connections to get you made permanent." She'd spent five or six years slaving away as a temp, handed her wages over to her mother-in-law to manage, been scorned for failing to produce a son, and had to endure betrayal in her marriage. The world spun. Tan Lixia fell, then opened her eyes. She froze for a moment, then covered her eyes and giggled. "That dream felt so real." And it had felt real. Every last detail was vivid. For example, Yu Jinfeng was sitting in the main room right now, talking to her mother: "Auntie, once we're married, I'll make sure my mother gets Lixia's job made permanent..." It was exactly the same as in her dream. Tan Lixia's face instantly turned pale. Once she had confirmed that the dream was real, whoever wanted to live through those years steeped in bitter medicine could go ahead. She was done. ** Ping Zhen was an orphan from the crowded courtyard houses on Back Street. After serving in the military for several years, he returned home after being discharged, and someone introduced him to a woman. She thought he looked fierce and had a scar on his chin, but she liked that he was an orphan, since she wouldn't have to serve her mother-in-law after marriage. Ping Zhen explained that he had adoptive parents and would certainly support them in the future. The woman thought there was something wrong with him and walked out. As Ping Zhen turned around, he saw the woman he'd met during field exercises the previous year. Half a month later, the woman who'd been introduced to Ping Zhen learned that he was the new leader who'd just been assigned to her younger brother's unit. She also learned who his adoptive parents were, and came to him of her own accord. "Comrade Ping, I've thought it over. I'd still like to talk with you." Ping Zhen frowned and took a step back to put some distance between them. "Which department are you in? Our workplace doesn't allow people to bypass their superiors. If you have something to discuss, talk to your supervisor." He tried to step around her, but she stopped him again and said shyly, "What? I meant I want to date you." "I'm seeing someone." Ping Zhen hurried away as if his life depended on it. At the wedding, Yu Jinfeng saw the bride standing beside his direct superior and felt as if thunder had struck him. Theme: People should strive and look ahead with optimism.
