Qin Ning learned her lesson in her previous life. This time, she won't be weak.
If her own father schemes against her, she'll turn the tables on him. If her own grandmother bullies her, she'll cut her down.
Reborn in the 1970s, she doesn't have to worry about going hungry or thirsty. She has a pocket dimension.
She isn't afraid of all kinds of troublemakers, either. She's got brains and courage.
She charges full speed down the road to prosperity, dreaming of becoming a rich and beautiful country girl.
It's just that she's a little stumped when she runs into a handsome, scheming older guy.
Their first meeting.
The handsome guy looks like a refined gentleman and speaks to her in a low voice.
Qin Ning can't hear him. Can't a grown man speak up?
Who knew the handsome guy would shout in front of everyone, “I like you!”
The “Letters Were Slow, the Journey Long, and I Loved Only One Person All My Life” arc
Handsome guy: I really like you.
Qin Ning: I like myself, too.
“If I write you a letter every day, you'll get to know me better.”
“I think I'd get to know the mailman better that way.”
“Tell me what you like, and I'll buy it and send it to you.”
“I like... buying land.”
“What kind of land?”
“The kind that makes you devoted to me for life.”
“...!”
The “May We Face the Sea, with Spring Blossoms” arc
Handsome guy: What's your dream?
Qin Ning: Does eating my fill, waiting to die, and getting rich count?
“That's all?”
“That's enough for me. What about you?”
“My dream is you.”
The “When Smoke Rises from the Kitchen, I'll Wait for You at the Door. When We're Old, I'll Wait for You in the Next Life” arc
Handsome guy: People these days don't write letters anymore.
Qin Ning: So what? You're not writing me letters either?
“But I did. I wrote you a letter yesterday.”
“Where is it?”
“Check your pager!”
Qin Ning takes out the trendy little gadget she just bought. “Honey, I love you.”
Everything is fine, but the trope of revealing one's spatial dimension in front of the male lead is really unappealing.
Author, I think you're being a bit unfair. You managed to keep all the bad guys in your space without killing them off, but you suddenly killed off such a vibrant life as Xiang Yueying. You spent so much time on her, she had such a devoted man, and you killed her off, especially so suddenly at the very end… The whole thing was enjoyable until this, and then you suddenly pulled this stunt, which makes the plot really frustrating… Suddenly, all that I'd watched seemed so boring...
Super, super good! A ten-year veteran reader highly recommends it! The premise is novel and interesting, the writing is smooth and skillful, keep updating!
The book is alright, but two things are a bit frustrating: first, the male lead is a bit annoying in the early parts; second, the cousin is inexplicably killed off near the end, even though so many bad guys survived.
A refreshing and engaging piece of writing, full of rich and varied content, highly recommended! 👍
It's well-written, not overly powerful or overly saintly, and flows smoothly overall. The writing style is quite good. However, the only downside is that the male lead is portrayed as too stupid. Even if he's meant to be a foil, he shouldn't be depicted as so incompetent.
Dislike
If the female lead were less verbally abusive, I would have kept watching. It's a common problem, I guess.
This book is very well-written, with a refreshing feel. The writing style is smooth, and almost every character is vividly portrayed. It's increasingly enjoyable to read, and you won't want to put it down.
I really hate the male lead; his arrogant pursuit is honestly very annoying.
This is so verbose! Even ancient Chinese time-travel stories weren't this long-winded. Historical fiction should really improve; it's just too tedious.
