Blurb:

Bai Zhuxiu transmigrates to an island, where she is about to meet potential husbands and get married. Then she sets her sights on Ye Weiting, who has come to the island to visit relatives.

Ye Weiting is handsome and dashing, with an open, straightforward manner and a muscular build that draws everyone's attention.

At the time, Ye Weiting and the cousin who came to meet him aren't interested in each other, so she turns around and introduces Bai Zhuxiu to him.

Her cousin says, "I'm difficult to get along with, but my younger sister is cheerful and lively."

"My sister can cook and sew, and she's healthier than I am, too."

"Actually, I already have someone in my heart. My sister doesn't, so she'll definitely like you."

Ye Weiting had planned to turn her down. He wasn't convinced that Bai Zhuxiu would be any more reliable than her cousin.

That is, until Bai Zhuxiu brought him seafood sauce, swimming crabs, and dried salted fish.

Bai Zhuxiu smiled sweetly, her voice clear and pleasant. "Take your time eating. There's more if you run out."

Ye Weiting thought, Who could resist marrying a beautiful woman who can cook?

He immediately sent a telegram to his family, telling them he wanted to marry Bai Zhuxiu.

After Bai Zhuxiu and Ye Weiting got married, she followed him to Shashi Island, where he was stationed.

When Ye Weiting first arrived, he wasn't used to island life and worried his pampered wife would insist on going back to her parents' home.

Then he watched Bai Zhuxiu fill the courtyard with vegetables and fruit saplings, raise chickens, ducks, and geese, and even set up a water tank for little fish and shrimp.

This was pretty nice. His wife could keep herself occupied, so he let her do as she pleased.

Later, Ye Weiting often got to wear clothes made from new fabric. With his wife cooking at home, he no longer had to eat at the cafeteria, and the courtyard always had fresh fruit and vegetables in every season.

His wife gave birth to a child, and before long the little one was big enough to run around the courtyard, bouncing about so much Ye Weiting worried they might fall.

Only then did he understand that everything Bai Zhuxiu's cousin had said about her was true.

His wife really was wonderful.

In her previous life, twenty-two-year-old Yu Weilu went with her aunt to the capital to work as a nanny. But Le Liqi took a liking to her and wanted her to be his wife.

After they got married, they enjoyed a sweet stretch together, but it didn't last long. Yu Weilu was in a car accident and was reborn in 1974.

Songlin Farm is a wonderful place. The pineapples and bananas grown here are golden, delicious, and sweet enough to make your mouth water. After years of improvements by experts, the lychees, longans, mandarins, pomelos, and kumquats are also snapped up by the purchasing station.

And that's not even counting the coveted coffee, coconuts, pepper, and oil palms supplied to the provincial capital. Yu Weilu works in the fields every day, yet her life is full and she has plenty to look forward to.

When it's time to pick tea leaves and make wine, she can even put on a flowered hat and help out on the tea mountain.

As the prettiest girl on the farm, Yu Weilu has her share of troubles.

The educated youths sent to work on the farm, along with the farm's older and younger fellows, all like to talk to her.

They insist on making her blush, then take the basket from her hands and leisurely add, "Miss, let me help you."

Yu Weilu casually picks up another basket, takes a sickle, and smiles at them. "Really, there's no need."

Everyone thinks, This girl seems pretty strong, huh?

They don't dare joke around with her too much. Just because her parents have gone to work at the quarry doesn't mean they can take advantage of her.

Then one day, Le Liqi, an older educated youth who has been reborn, arrives at Songlin Farm to marry her.

Yu Weilu looks at the man who took such good care of her in her previous life. Returning to his arms in this life doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

The Delicate Female Supporting Character on a 1960s Island:

Zhao Yetao transmigrates into a novel as a delicate female supporting character. The original owner was the pitiful younger sister of the deceased female lead. She lived at her brother-in-law's house, where she had to get up before dawn every day to fetch water and cook, haul bricks, and work in the fields. She didn't even have a padded coat in the middle of winter, and she froze to death.

Even so, her brother-in-law's second wife accused her of trying to seduce him and said she was just like her dead sister.

When Zhao Yetao first transmigrates, her hands and feet are numb from the cold, and she can barely get up. Just then, a man in a military coat picks her up, drapes the coat over her, and ignores everyone's protests as he takes her away.

She hears him say, "I'm taking her with me. I'll look after her from now on. As for the rest of you, you'd better behave yourselves."

Zhao Yetao thinks his embrace is so warm. Only later does she learn that he was her sister's first love, whom she hadn't seen in years.

Zhao Yetao tells herself she has to keep her distance from him and leave once she's recovered. But later, she doesn't want to go. She wants to take care of him in her sister's place.

But it's still anyone's guess which of them will end up taking care of the other.

Lately, people at the Shimen Island family compound have been saying that thirty-five-year-old Regiment Commander Sheng Yetian brought back a young woman. She looks like a little girl with dyed-blond hair, both hands covered in chilblains, and a timid way of looking at people. But she has a lovely pair of eyes. When they ask around, they learn she's actually twenty-three.

Sheng Yetian's mother tells Zhao Yetao, "From now on, you can stay on the island. I'll treat you like my own daughter."

Zhao Yetao obediently nods.

Later, when Mother Sheng tries to take Zhao Yetao to a matchmaking social, Sheng Yetian comes home and stops her from leaving. "You're not going anywhere."

Zhao Yetao looks puzzled. "Brother Sheng..."

Sheng Yetian says, "From now on, stay with me. We'll get married."
