Blurb: Yu Hongxia had been married to her educated youth husband, Jiang Guangjun, for seven years. By the time they returned to the city, they already had three children.

On their first night living with her in-laws in a crowded compound, she had a long dream.

In the dream, because she hadn’t returned to the city through a job placement program, she couldn’t find work and the family had to rely entirely on her husband’s wages. Money was always tight.

They had no money and no house. She even had a fourth child, and the family of six was crammed into a tiny room. Her sisters-in-law mocked her and gave her dirty looks, and even her own family looked down on her.

Poverty made every part of married life miserable. Life after returning to the city was full of heartbreak and helplessness, and nothing ever went right.

Her sweet, sensible eldest daughter couldn’t judge people well and married a scumbag. Her marriage was unhappy and ended in divorce.

Her eldest son was spoiled rotten by his grandmother, becoming selfish and useless. In his thirties, he still had no job or family and did nothing but live off his parents.

Her second daughter was the most obedient. She started supporting the family as soon as she graduated, but the burden was so heavy that her relationship fell apart, and she never married.

Her youngest son was clever, but he was always dreaming of getting rich overnight without lifting a finger. He was sent to juvenile detention as a teenager, and even after he got out, he never changed. Her husband was driven to his death in his fifties...

Yu Hongxia woke up crying, her heart aching as if it were being squeezed. She hoped none of those things from the dream were true.

Her husband held her close. “Don’t cry, honey. This time, our whole family will be all right. We won’t have that little bastard of a fourth child.”

Yu Hongxia stiffened. “You... you dreamed about it too?”

Jiang Guangjun shook his head. He hadn’t dreamed about the future. He had been reborn after being driven to death by his youngest son!

Upcoming story: A Happy Life in the Seventies

Jin Zhu, a modern office worker, transmigrates into a novel set in the seventies. She becomes a cannon-fodder character who is used by a scumbag and then discarded, meeting a truly tragic end.

The original character was the youngest daughter born to older parents. She had four successful older brothers who cherished her like a precious jewel, yet she chased after a pretty boy who had nothing going for him.

She didn’t realize that the love she thought was unbreakable was nothing more than a lifeline he clung to when he was desperate. As soon as the storm passed, he discarded her like trash and even insulted her to her face.

“Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu, stupid as a pig!”

The original character was humiliated and regretful, but it was too late. In the end, she died along with her unborn child.

After recalling the original character’s life in the book, transmigrated Jin Zhu was utterly unimpressed. How could anyone play such a good hand so badly? Wouldn’t it be much nicer to find a tall, long-legged man with defined abs and spend life lounging around?

Gu Jinxun was tall, long-legged, and exceptionally handsome. When he first met his commanding officer’s younger sister, he found her utterly unappealing: far too delicate and weak.

But he never expected that this delicate young woman would later save his life.

Afterward, she teased him with a bright smile. “Commander Gu, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. How about I give myself to you?”

Gu Jinxun didn’t turn away with a cold expression. His gaze deepened, and he replied, “All right. As you wish.”
