The Perfect Couple's Everyday Gossip in the 1970s

After awakening, He Zhihao discovers she's actually the foil to the female lead in a period novel.

The female lead, Qiu Qiu, is the model of a good woman. She constantly gives of herself, working diligently to support the whole family. Every day she deals with a biased father-in-law, a troublemaking mother-in-law, and a sister-in-law who stirs up discord... In the end, she exhausts herself trying to reform these wicked people, and everyone praises her: "Now that's a good woman who knows how to keep a home!"

As the "bad woman" foil, He Zhihao spends the first half of her life living off her parents, the middle years living off her brother and sister-in-law, and the rest of her life living off her nieces and nephews. She's lazy, greedy, and dishonest in at least two ways. Whenever people mention her, they say, "Oh, that little princess from the He family."

But as the saying goes, people who can endure hardship will spend their whole lives enduring hardship. He Zhihao may be spoiled and useless, but she truly does enjoy a lifetime of good fortune.

After awakening, He Zhihao isn't ashamed at all. Instead, she realizes: Could she be Heaven's favorite?

So she keeps enjoying the gossip and living off her parents, while also giving her friend Qiu Qiu a hand and keeping her from falling into another trap.

Who knew she'd meet a kindred spirit while accompanying the female lead on a blind date?

The two hit it off and get married in no time.

Everyone thinks there's no way such a big shot could put up with a spoiled, useless girl like He Zhihao, and that they'll divorce before long!

But no one expects the two of them to spend their days gossiping and watching the drama, while their lives keep getting better and better.

Another household is in an uproar, and there among the eager onlookers is that girl, He Zhihao.

How can she be so nosy? How could a big shot possibly like her?!

The next second, Ye Qiaoyu walks over and grabs He Zhihao by the collar. "You came to watch the show without me?"

He Zhihao smiles ingratiatingly. "I can't see. Pick me up so I can watch."

Ye Qiaoyu resignedly lifts her up. "Can you see now?"

"A little to the left."

"A bit higher. Yes, right there!"

Everyone: "!"

You two are every bit as nosy as each other!

Let me recommend my new book, Big Brother Obsession in the Seventies.

After Yun Xing hears that the person who saved her life has died, she faints on the spot. When she wakes up, she has transmigrated back to the seventies.

She also discovers that the world she lives in is a novel, and her lifesaver, Shi Yan, is a cannon-fodder male supporting character.

Shi Yan has nothing to do with the main couple's romance, yet every time the male lead escapes danger, Shi Yan takes the hit instead. After an accident leaves him disabled, he commits suicide.

Yun Xing decides to save Shi Yan. To get close to him, she rushes off to join her older brother, who is stationed on an island.

But when she arrives, she finds that Shi Yan's personality is nothing like what the System described. It said he was sinister, cold, and distant.

Could someone explain how this cheerful puppy, rolling up his pants to catch fish by the sea and smiling brightly against the light, resembles that character at all?

Yun Xing grows even more confident, rubs her hands together, and takes the initiative. Whenever Shi Yan has a break, she shows up by his side.

Shi Yan is handsome, optimistic, and funny, completely different from the man in the novel who would take his own life.

Shi Yan is certainly kind to her, but he seems to be kind to everyone. He always helps when asked, and once he agrees to do something, he never fails to follow through.

At the same time, he gives the impression that he will never become truly close to anyone.

To bring them closer, Yun Xing smiles brightly. "Big Brother is the embodiment of everything good in this world. Falling for Big Brother is only natural. How could it be my fault that I like you? Of course it's your fault."

It has to be said, Shi Yan really does fall for her persistence. His voice is usually bright and easygoing, but around Yun Xing, his vocal cords turn into a voice modulator, and he starts speaking in a coy tone.

After they get together, Yun Xing realizes something is wrong. It turns out Shi Yan has a twin brother, and the person who saved her wasn't the Shi Yan currently lying across her lap, asking her to pat his head.

Yun Xing ruffles Shi Yan's hair in frustration. "Are you Shi Yan or not?"

Shi Yan has known all along that the girl mistook him for her lifesaver, Lu Shiyan. But twins are practically interchangeable, so what's wrong with the younger brother taking credit for what the older brother did?

Shi Yan nods. "I am."

Yun Xing slaps him again. "Are you the Shi Yan who saved me or not?"

Shi Yan says, "Lu Shiyan is my older brother, and I'm your older brother. Either way, your brother saved you. Does it matter which one?"
