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.”
“...!”

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.”
