Seeking Advance Readers for These Period Romance Novels: “Marrying Her Husband’s Comrade Again (The 1980s)” and “The Chubby Girl Who Traveled a Thousand Miles to Find Her Husband in the 1960s”
Synopsis:
Fang He was Yu Nian’s child bride. When she was fifteen, Yu Nian wanted to go out and make something of himself. His grandmother couldn’t talk him out of it, so she forced Fang He and Yu Nian to marry before letting him leave home.
Afterward, Yu Nian vanished without a trace, and Fang He became a widow.
Alone in the village, she cared for his grandmother and endured her harsh words and a life of hardship.
She thought this was how she would spend the rest of her life. Then the old woman had an accident, and on her deathbed, she handed Fang He a letter and told her to go find Yu Nian.
It turned out that her husband, whom she thought was dead, was alive. Not only that, he had built a successful career and become an officer.
Fang He was overjoyed. After avenging the old woman, she set fire to their home and hopped on a train to find Yu Nian.
Just before getting off, Fang He had a dream. In it, she found Yu Nian at his wedding.
It turned out that Yu Nian hadn’t come home all these years because he no longer loved Fang He and considered their marriage a feudal relic.
Once he had settled in the city, he had secretly returned home, intending to divorce Fang He and pursue his true love.
The old woman had agreed, but because she had grown used to Fang He’s care, she kept it from her.
Fang He couldn’t accept it. After waiting all those years, enduring so much hardship and swallowing so many grievances, she took out their marriage certificate and disrupted the wedding, demanding an explanation from his superiors and forcing Yu Nian to live with her as his wife.
Yu Nian gave in for the sake of his career.
But you can’t force love. Fang He’s life only got worse. Everyone looked down on her, Yu Nian subjected her to the silent treatment, and in the end, she was dragged down with him to the far northwest. She went through a miscarriage and political persecution, suffering every bit of it.
The dream was so terrifying that Fang He woke with a start.
Now she was afraid to go find Yu Nian. She was afraid she would have to live through all that.
Fang He got off the train, uneasy and bracing herself for misfortune. But as soon as she stepped onto the platform, she met a tall, handsome man in uniform who looked strong and dependable. He looked at her and said:
“Fang He? Come with me.”
Xie Qinghe lost his fiancée and spent his whole life searching for her, finding her only when he was sixty.
But she had suffered so much that her health was ruined. He tried everything to keep her by his side, but in the end, she died in his arms.
Xie Qinghe was so consumed with hatred he wanted to kill someone. Then he woke up reborn. His fiancée was now on her way to find her ex-husband.
Xie Qinghe: Good. He still had a chance to win her back.
Reader’s Notes:
1. In this life, both leads are each other’s first and only. In their previous lives, they weren’t. Fate kept them from meeting at first, and the male lead searched for the female lead his entire life.
2. Inspired by the mother of the male lead in my first period novel.
Synopsis of “The Chubby Girl Who Traveled a Thousand Miles to Find Her Husband in the 1960s”:
Luo Yu died from anorexia. When she opened her eyes again, she discovered she had transmigrated into the body of a plump girl with a broad waist and sturdy build.
The girl ate three huge bowls of rice at every meal, and her family could no longer afford to feed her.
As it happened, she had just turned eighteen, and her family had arranged an engagement for her when she was young. So the Luo family gave her a letter and a bundle, and sent her off to find her fiancé in the army.
Luo Yu: “…”
Chu Nian got a telegram from home saying his fiancée was coming to marry him. His whole world came crashing down.
He still remembered the time she visited his family at age six and ate an entire steamer basket of rice and a whole tin of malted milk powder.
He counted his pitiful military pay…
He couldn’t afford to feed her. He really couldn’t!
Unable to afford his fiancée, Chu Nian decided to take a mission and make himself scarce.
Before he left, he went to the richest man in the regiment, Chu Yan, and pleaded with his hands clasped together:
“Commander, Brother Chu, I’ve risked my life for you and even taken a hit in your place. Please help me out.”
“Take care of my fiancée for a while. If you can talk her into going home, I’ll serve under you again in my next life and take bullets for you.”
Looking at his brother, who was on the verge of tears, Chu Yan reluctantly agreed.
At the train station, Chu Yan and his orderly, Xiao Zhang, held up a sign and searched everywhere for the girl his friend had described as the fattest in the whole station.
Instead, they saw a girl walking toward them, her skin as white as snow and her figure perfectly proportioned and graceful.
She smiled brightly, her presence radiant, and opened with, “Second Brother Chu?”
“Mm.”
Chu Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he replied with restrained composure.
Three months later, Chu Nian returned from his mission with a commendation. Thinking he could support his fiancée for a while, he planned to settle things quickly, explain himself, and send her home. So he went to Chu Yan again:
“Commander, thanks for looking after her all this time. Where’s Luo Yu? I’ll send her home right away.”
Chu Yan: “No need. She knows you don’t want her, so she’s found someone else.”
“With who?”
Chu Nian asked without thinking. Chu Yan’s lips moved, and he replied, “Me.”
Reader’s Notes:
1. In her previous life, the female lead suffered from anorexia. She won’t deliberately diet. She loses weight because of what happens to the original owner, along with the female lead’s naturally restrained eating habits. She doesn’t overeat.
2. The female lead isn’t especially thin. She’s just nicely proportioned, and the male lead likes a curvier figure, so they’re a perfect match.
3. The female lead is clever and ambitious, with a career storyline.
Theme: Life is about making peace with yourself.

Come here, kids, there are two advance books: "The Fat Girl in the 1960s Searching for a Husband A Thousand Miles Away" and "Remarrying Her Husband and Comrade in Arms (80s)". If you like it, collect it. They are all new ideas. I will open this book after I finish it. Introduction to The Remarried Husband: Luo Mei's husband died, and he couldn't worry about her the most before he died.
Zheng Wen'e is truly incomprehensible. How could she marry Fang Bojun with such a clear conscience? I don't think she loved Fang Bojun that much; she was just selfish and wanted a better life. If pushed any further, it wouldn't be impossible for her to kill Fang Bojun.
Please, author, give Zheng Wen'e a very, very tragic ending. Chu Wenliang is a pervert, and Zheng Wen'e is evil to the core.
Doesn't anyone think this is a bit padded? I thought the recent chapters would reveal the secret, but it's dragged on and there's still no progress... I don't want to see the hypocritical sister-in-law's inner monologues. Is all this screen time for a selfish person trying to portray her as innocent? I don't think so at all; I just want her to get off the show quickly.
If she were truly as weak and helpless as she described, how could she possibly become a nightingale?
The father's madness and the mother's ingratitude have caused the Fang family such a miserable fate. Don't let these two bad people raise their child. Find them a good family far away. It's really disgusting to have them raised near you.
[Joker] Are the next few chapters going to be this weak? [Joker] It's not even a matter of foreshadowing anymore; a few more pages of psychological description and it'll be a vast ocean. The key issue is that even those few pages are repetitive or consist of only a few lines of text. Repeating one page is just to build up…
Anyway, I found the description of my uncle's marital problems hilarious. How could a revolutionary cadre from the early days of the People's Republic be more feudal than those from feudal society? What social status was required to avoid divorce? Is it sweet to eat candy wrapped in excrement? Quite a few revolutionary cadres divorced back then, and they seemed to lack any discernment about character.
Neither Zheng nor her daughter are good people; they even conspired against each other from within! [Clown]
I have a feeling my uncle is being targeted. His wife, his trusted subordinate, and even the psychologist he knows might all be spies. He seems to have a feeling it's happening, but whether he can turn the tables is uncertain. Besides, his wife was introduced to him by the organization. Who in the organization was responsible for making those connections? All of these things are highly suspicious.
