[Seeking Bookmarks for My Next Novel, Island Beauty of the Seventies]
Lin Baoyu transmigrated, and from the moment she arrived, she was in grave danger. She struggled desperately in the water, thrashing about for all she was worth. She couldn't swim. Would someone please save her? "Help!"
A figure in army green plunged into the water with a splash and rescued her. He performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth, exhausting himself before finally bringing her back to life.
A hero saves a beauty, and the beauty repays him with herself. What a lovely (clichéd) romance.
But Lin Baoyu was engaged. Her fiancé worked at the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, and he was handsome with a bright future ahead of him.
The man who saved her was a soldier from a nearby unit, there for field training. After rescuing her, he left.
Who could have guessed that when her fiancé found out she'd fallen into the water and been rescued, he wouldn't feel sorry for her at all, but would instead call off the engagement?
If that jerk didn't want her, she didn't want him either.
But because she'd been rescued after falling into the water, and because her engagement was called off, her reputation was completely ruined. The villagers pointed and whispered wherever she went.
Fed up, she put all her strength into getting to the city and becoming a factory worker.
The factory organized a social dance. In the corner stood a tall figure with an expression that warned everyone to keep their distance. He looked familiar, and the more she looked, the more she liked him. She walked over and asked him to dance.
Qin Lie hadn't expected any woman to be unafraid of his icy expression. His superior had assigned him the task of dancing with a woman, so he took Lin Qiuyu's hand. After that, he could never let it go.
Qin Lie had a temper as fierce as his name, and his abilities were just as impressive. He was either angry or on his way to getting angry. No one expected him to marry a gentle, beautiful wife. Everyone worried she wouldn't last three days before he scared her away.
But they never imagined they would see his gentle little wife twist his ear and scold him: "Qin Lie, do you know what you did wrong?"
Qin Lie didn't get angry. Instead, he pleaded softly, "Honey, don't be mad. Think of the baby."
Everyone wondered how such a delicate beauty had tamed Qin Lie, the wolf. Lin Baoyu put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Obviously, I know how to act sweet, be adorable, and swing a brick when I need to!"
Then, under everyone's curious gaze, she blinked, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. In a sweet, delicate voice, she said, "Qin Lie, your skin is so rough. Twisting your ear hurts my hand!"
Qin Lie immediately replied, "I'll blow on it for you!"
Everyone said they thought they understood, but somehow they still didn't.

Blurb for Island Beauty of the Seventies:
Lin Biqing transmigrated and became the daughter of Lin Dajun, a Grade Six fitter at a parts factory. She had just graduated from high school, and now faced two choices: go to the countryside as an educated youth, or get married.
Lin Biqing didn't want either option, but she had to choose. In the 1970s, agricultural machinery was scarce, and farm work was almost entirely strenuous manual labor.
She touched her own fair, tender face, then looked at her slender arms and legs. In the end, she chose marriage.
Mu Jie was a naval officer stationed on a northern island. Handsome and only in his twenties, he was already a deputy regimental commander, with a thriving career. But at twenty-eight, he was still a bachelor. His family and superiors were so worried they were going gray, and his mother even pretended to be ill to trick him into coming home for a matchmaking date.
And so the two were paired up.
Lin Biqing gazed at the man, his masculinity practically radiating off him, with her clear almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Would you hit your wife?"
Mu Jie shook his head. "No."
Lin Biqing asked, "Can you do housework?"
Mu Jie said, "Yes."
"Would you hand over your salary?"
"Yes!"
"If your wife and mother get into a disagreement, whose side will you take?"
"Of course I'll side with my wife. She's the one I'll spend my life with, unless she's completely in the wrong."
Lin Biqing's eyes curved into a smile. This man was handsome, capable, willing to hand over his salary, able to do housework, and not blindly devoted to his parents. A man like that was a rare find in this era. It would be a real loss not to marry him.
Mu Jie looked at the young woman with her smiling eyes and sweet dimples, and felt relieved. He'd finally passed.
A beautiful, delicate young wife arrived at the island garrison's family quarters. Seeing her soft, tender skin, everyone worried she wouldn't be able to endure the hardships and would complain and leave.
But who knew this young wife was so capable? She could turn seawater into fresh water, scuba dive, operate a boat, and...
If you asked what she couldn't do, she couldn't cook. Mu Jie hurried forward. "Honey, are you tired? Hungry? I've got your wash water ready. I'll go make dinner right away!"
Everyone gaped. Was this really the same Regiment Commander Mu who cared only about work and kept his distance from women? When had he become a househusband?
Theme: Love yourself before you love someone else.
The character of this heroine is a bit hard to describe...
This is the most compactly paced book I have ever read.
If a person with sprained feet passes by, do not apply heat to the sprained feet! Be sure to apply cold compresses, otherwise it will be more serious (;???Д??`)
No, isn't the heroine wearing it? Why do you have to get the consent of these two sb parents to get married? Just get the certificate directly and ask the hero to give her a betrothal gift (you can give part to the younger brother)
The female protagonist has a trick to deceive the male protagonist, so she becomes the male protagonist. Facing those parents who favored sons over daughters, they were beaten, pinched and harshly treated, without any tricks, and they were so useless. I can only throw in a little bit of meat or meat bones at a time, just like feeding a dog. If you don't give it to me, I will give you a bite. I feel a little uncomfortable with the heroine's behavior. My attitude is also sticky, or I might just suffer some losses and break up after marriage, but be firmer in my attitude. When the female protagonist doesn't reconcile, the male protagonist threatens her. This is really a cliché, hahaha.
Come on, update quickly, not enough to watch
It's time to change the map. I'll update it quickly. It's not enough to read.
When you return to your hometown, can you avoid these wonderful parents?
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers

"Past modesty" is a big bug for the author~
