A Delicate Girl's Survival Guide to the 1970S

An accident sent Chu Wei, a pampered young master, back to the hard-scrabble 1970s. He became a pitiful soul who never had enough to eat or wear, whose father didn't care for him and whose mother didn't love him, and who had to go to the countryside. He thought this was already a hellish start, but who knew the original owner was also a minor character in a period novel, destined to compete with the educated youth male lead for the heroine? He had only two or three chapters' worth of scenes before being sent to the countryside and written out. Chu Wei, who had been doted on ever since he was little, shook his head. No way! He could deal with the awful relatives, stay away from the male lead, and even go to the countryside as a sent-down youth. Once the college entrance exam was reinstated two years later, the sky would be high enough for birds to fly and the sea wide enough for fish to leap. Chu Wei had read over a hundred feel-good stories about minor characters making a comeback, and was rubbing his hands in anticipation. If he couldn't be born rich, then he'd become the first generation of his family to get rich. However, Chu Wei overestimated his own abilities and underestimated how hard rural life could be. Day after day of labor, along with frequent hunger, taught him what the cruelty of reality meant. He couldn't last two days, let alone two years. Fortunately, where he lacked physical strength, he could make up for it with brains. As long as he hitched himself to the right person, he could still live a comfortable life. He Xiao was famous in the village as a cursed loner: cold, aloof, and not fond of strangers. He was born and his parents died, and not a living thing could be found within ten miles of wherever he went. Not a single person who befriended him ever met a good end. Everyone in the village avoided him, but Chu Wei didn't believe in bad luck and spent all day trailing after him. What could he do? He Xiao was a skilled hunter, and if Chu Wei followed him, there'd be meat at every meal. But Chu Wei never expected He Xiao to be such a sore loser. Chu Wei had only eaten a few pieces of his meat, yet the man demanded that he repay him by marrying him. Chu Wei declared righteously, "I'm straight." The corner of the man's mouth twitched. Did someone who groped him and flirted shamelessly from the moment they met really have the nerve to call himself straight? Chu Wei: "You might not believe me, but when straight guys turn gay, even they scare themselves." One-on-one, both are each other's first.
