The Delicate Beauty Wins by Taking It Easy in a Period Novel

After staying up several nights to finish her graduation thesis, college student Su Li transmigrated into the body of a pitiful girl from the 1970s, neglected by both her parents. Even the supposedly wonderful opportunity to go to the countryside was about to fall to her, the youngest in the family.

Go to the countryside as an educated youth? How could she possibly endure that hardship?

Before she could rise up in protest, her much-beloved eldest sister insisted on switching lives with her and secretly signed up to join a rural production team.

Her eldest sister's arranged marriage to a fabulously wealthy family fell to Su Li instead. She heard that her prospective husband was young, had earned countless military honors, and had a limitless future.

Su Li was "forced" to marry into the Song family and became the wife of an officer whose husband was "always away and never came home." On their wedding day, her husband was called away on an urgent military assignment.

She became a poor little bride whose husband hadn't even come to fetch her. Her wealthy and powerful husband was away from home year-round, while her mother-in-law doted on her out of guilt and her sister-in-law cherished her with sympathy.

Money she couldn't spend, streets she couldn't finish shopping, food she couldn't finish eating, naps she could take all day, and a husband she never saw... Su Li cried tears of joy.

One day, her husband Song Xian, whom she'd never met, came home. Song Xian was stern and taciturn, cold as ice, imposing, and had a murderous glint in his eyes that made people afraid to act out.

Wouldn't sharing a bed with someone like that leave her freezing and unable to sleep?

That night, Su Li thought she'd toss and turn, unable to sleep. She did toss and turn, but not because she couldn't sleep. She cried for half the night. Hadn't her eldest sister said this man wasn't interested in women?

Why was he so wild? Sob, no wonder her eldest sister hadn't wanted to marry him!

Afterward, she slept more soundly than anyone.

Su Qiao was the darling of the Su family, cherished and pampered from childhood. She also had an impressive major general for a fiancé. Who in the family compound didn't envy her? Then, out of nowhere, she awakened memories of her past life and discovered she had been cast as the comparison character, the female side character. Her officer husband was away from home year-round and cold-hearted. She lived a lonely life like a widow, with unkind in-laws and unfilial children. Her life was a joke.

Meanwhile, her little sister, who had always been overlooked, had the heroine's role. After going to the countryside, her sister married a village man who went on to pass the university entrance exam and rise through the ranks to become a senior official. The couple loved each other, their children were successful, and they lived happily ever after.

In this life, she would switch places with Su Li.

But the village man didn't want her! With nothing going her way, she fled back to the city on medical grounds, only to run into Su Li.

In the jeep, Su Li happily ate lychees. One hand rested on her neck, occasionally twirling her wispy hair. Su Li found it annoying and slapped the hand away, then placed a lychee peel in his palm.

The next moment, he pulled Su Li into his arms. As she cried out in surprise, the man's lips met hers, savoring the sweetness of the lychee in a gentle, lingering kiss.

The windows slowly rolled up, hiding everything from view.

Su Qiao stared in shock. That was Song Xian, the man she'd given up to Su Li in their arranged marriage.
