Marrying a Factory Manager in the 1970s

Li Su is the youngest daughter of the Li family. Frail and sickly since childhood, she inspires tenderness and is both the family's most pampered child and the one they worry about most.

In 1970, disaster struck the Li family. To spare Li Su from being sent to a farm or the countryside to suffer alongside them, her family arranged a marriage for her in advance.

However, on the night before the matchmaking meeting, Li Su had a dream that brought back memories of her past life. She also realized that she had been born into a novel about second marriages in the 1970s.

In the book, her prospective husband is the male lead, while she is the "kindhearted" first wife who dies young after saving the heroine, even making sure to bring the two leads together with her dying breath.

Li Su: "..."

Kindhearted? Sorry, she's forgotten how to write that word.

Rather than let herself suffer, she'd rather make someone else miserable.

Li Su decides that if that jerk makes her life difficult, she'll show him exactly what she's capable of.

But the next day, at home, she sees another man who has come along with her prospective match: tall and straight-backed, with broad shoulders and a trim waist.

Li Su changes her mind on the spot: Why go to all that trouble? She'll just pick a different man.

So when her family asks what she thinks of her match, Lu Qi,

Li Su lowers her head in feigned shyness, twisting the hem of her clothes with slender white fingers as her limpid eyes secretly glance at the man who came along with the male lead: his cousin. "Big Brother Lu Jun is wonderful. I'm quite pleased with him!"

The Li family, Lu Qi: "...???"

Lu Jun: "...!!!"

At thirty, Lu Jun left the military due to an injury and became the director of a state-owned machinery factory, as well as the oldest bachelor there.

But with a family to support, including a ten-year-old younger sister and two three-year-old nephew and niece twins, even the factory's most enthusiastic matchmaker wasn't willing to set him up with anyone.

He never imagined that one day, while accompanying his cousin to meet a prospective match, he would catch the eye of the Li family's most pampered daughter.

Lu Jun: "!!!"

Looking at Li Su, lovely and delicate, her eyes fixed on him as if she could melt him with a glance,

Lu Jun swallowed. A man who had always been upright and honorable suddenly wanted to do something shameful.

Reader's note: 1. The heroine is very frail and can't handle being sent to the countryside. She also has to consider her family, so she doesn't want to go.

2. This is a marriage-first, love-later story, with lots of everyday life and raising children.

3. The heroine has a career, but she isn't a strong, dominant woman.

4. The age gap is eleven years.

Theme: Love means staying by each other's side until old age
