The 1970S: A Cannon-Fodder Young Widow

Synopsis: (Rugged military officer x sacrificial little sister-in-law) Jiang Nian wakes up one day and discovers she’s transmigrated into a period novel as a widow whose husband has just died. Although the character only appeared a few times, she remembers her well. Just days after her husband died, local hooligans from the same village harassed her. Unable to bear the humiliation, the original owner took her own life at the front door. If she remembers correctly, this sacrificial character is the male lead’s sister-in-law. The book says that the male lead came to pay respects to his older brother. He happened to arrive on the day of the original owner’s funeral, dealt with the hooligans who had bullied her, and made arrangements for her burial before taking the train back to the city. He happened to meet the heroine in the book, and the two fell for each other before naturally getting married. When Jiang Nian transmigrates, the plot has just reached the point where she falls into the hooligans’ hands. ** Lu Yu’s greatest regret in this life was not getting to see his older brother one last time. He regretted even more that he hadn’t managed to save his poor sister-in-law. After an accident, Lu Yu is injured and returns to five years earlier. The first thing he does is rush home overnight. Although he doesn’t make it back in time for his older brother’s funeral, he manages to save his sister-in-law from the hooligans. His sister-in-law is the only one left at home. To prevent the tragedy of his previous life, he takes Jiang Nian to the military base and settles her in the military family compound. His comrade Song Bai comes by to catch up. Seeing Jiang Nian’s fair skin, beautiful face, and slender waist, he sneaks a question: “Who’s that?” Lu Yu sees right through him and shoots him a sidelong glance. Song Bai rubs the back of his head, grins, and shamelessly sidles up to him. “If she doesn’t have a boyfriend, introduce me to her, would you? I…” That day, Song Bai is kicked out before he even gets a bite of hot food. And his words cause the desire Lu Yu had been suppressing to begin stirring inside him. Every time he returns from training, the smell of home cooking and the sight of the woman moving about the house make him feel as though his heart is being burned away, night after night. Especially when Jiang Nian walks around right in front of him wearing nothing but a thin camisole after every bath. Lu Yu catches the faint scent of soap on her and can’t stop his Adam’s apple from bobbing. His dark eyes roil with a crazed possessiveness. He shouldn’t have feelings for her, but he does, and he even wants to keep her within his territory, so no one else can covet her. People say a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow, but he’s hungry for that grass. ① The heroine transmigrates into a book; the hero is reborn. ② One-on-one romance, both are sexually inexperienced. ③ The hero is pure in body and mind. In his previous life, he had no romantic relationship whatsoever with the original heroine, not even a little. There are reasons the hero avoids the original heroine, but explaining them would spoil the story. They’ll be revealed later~ Other completed novels of the same type: The 1970s Beauty Marries the Wrong Officer, Traveling Back to the 1950s with My Uncle, The Period Novel’s Sacrificial Widow Awakens New novel now available: The Sacrificial Beauty, but Remarried Four Times [The 1970s] (1v4) Synopsis: (One heroine, all four men are virgins; 1v4) Jiang Xiu transmigrates into a period novel and discovers that she has four husbands!

It’s indulgent, sweet, and deeply satisfying, without making her suffer. Theme: Strive for a better tomorrow.
