A Lovely Beauty in the 1970S

[Period setting + childhood betrothal called off + winning back the one you love] Jiang Yu was fair-skinned, beautiful, and delicate. Reborn in 1970, she found herself caught up in the campaign sending educated youth to the countryside. Her whole family couldn’t bear to let such a lovely, pampered beauty go suffer in the countryside. After much deliberation, they remembered that Jiang Yu had a childhood betrothal. If she simply registered her marriage to her intended, she could stay in the city. But Jiang Yu didn’t want to rush into such a major decision. Before she could refuse the match, the man’s family sent word that this was a new era, and they wouldn’t be bound by feudal thinking. They wanted to call off the childhood engagement. Being jilted in those days was hardly something to be proud of. While her family looked on in worry, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and happily headed to the countryside. There, Jiang Yu wrote articles and got them published in newspapers and magazines, becoming famous before she knew it. She gathered spring bamboo shoots, made dried bamboo shoots, and led the villagers to start a factory and get rich. ＊＊ Chu Xiao, the unruly young man from the residential compound, knew his grandfather had arranged a marriage for him and refused to go along with it. To escape this blind, arranged marriage, he secretly put his name down for the countryside campaign without telling his family. But after arriving in the countryside, he happened to discover that the beautiful educated youth he couldn’t stop thinking about, the one who had him lovesick and unable to eat, was the very fiancée he had once rejected. He regretted it bitterly! Chu Xiao didn’t dare reveal that he was the fiancé who had called off their engagement. He kept his identity secret through his secret crush, his pursuit of her, their marriage and the birth of their child, and even their return to the city and the purchase of a home. At last, he could hide it no longer.
