3.5-4

A slice-of-life story in the 70s featuring a system who gives warnings to the FL through dreams to help the ML. FL is the destined lover for ML and his lucky star. Initially he has low self-esteem due to an injury and rejects the FL's advances but then gets over it and they naturally get together and marries.

The FL is a resourceful hardworking lady. ML on the other hand is a gentle husband who dotes on his wife. They're rather dull imo personality-wise. The story shines through the other characters.... more>> So many side characters have terrible personalities - stingy daughter-in-laws, sad girls who are ostracized by their family, shrew-like MIL, snobby neighbours, misogynistic people... They're horrible characters but due to the interactions between them and the FL, they make the story worth reading.

Seriously FL encounters so many people of different characters but she remains calm in adverse situations. I did feel like there was not enough face slapping occuring and we never do find out the fate of this terrible people as the novel ends abruptly on a good note. No extra stories either. Horrible people continue to live their horrible lives. Our leads continue to prosper. The end.

I guess the author lost interest in the end as there's mentions of FL going to open a restaurant but we don't see the progression. We don't know how He Hua's fate end up either. Nor Ma Cunyui's battle with her terrible MIL. Just felt that it could be better. <<less

(UPDATE: 2nd Reread) Not bad! This is a relatively short and simple story that's good to read on a casual day. It's very uncomplicated, but unlike some other stories where the direction of the plot is completely aimless, the author does a good job creating character-driven developments that make you like the characters more and more. So, even if nothing truly exciting happens, you can't help but get the feels from the experience.

SUMMARY: Su Yue transmigrates to the 1970s with a system in her head. It only gives out... more>> one sole task: overturn the ML's (Han Aiguo) bad luck through effort. To help her along. She's given access to a system shopping mall and the ability to have prophetic dreams. This is not really the focus of the story though. It's just a very small part of a short slice-of-life story between an optimistic FL and a steady ML. The ML, in this case, had lived most of his life in misfortune, so her existence provided him with a new hope for the future.

THOUGHTS: I'm sticking with the rating I gave before (3.8/5!) it's pretty accurate I think? Although the novel really isn't anything special, it's still pleasant to read. And for that reason alone. I can recommend it without any guilt. (BTW: The TL is pretty good, and so is the MTL — though the names of the characters are a bit of a mess. For example: Aiguo=Patriotic/Patriotism, Aidang=LoveTheParty, etc. If you know the meaning of the names though, it's not so bad. At least, 75-80% readable.)

_______

OLD REVIEW:

Completed. 3.8/5!!! Nothing much happens. There's a SYSTEM involved, but this is a slice of life novel through and through, just with a few bells and whistles. There's a plot, it's just that the plot is exploring the ups and downs of an MC who transmigrates with a SYSTEM to overturn the bad fortune of the ML. I liked the system-tasks handed out at first, but that ends up not being too big a deal later on. The romance also becomes more understated, which made the first half a lot more exciting than the second half.

Still, I read it! The characters are pretty good, after all. The kiddos were especially charming and so are some of the side characters~ Definitely memorable in that regard. <<less

Typical educated youth sent to province to farm. She transmigrated from modern times to 70s with a system. The system did not really played a lot just told her to save th ML. ML was her partner in every reincarnation. One time, she was saved by him, and the penalty is on the next life, they won't be together and ML would leave a life full of bitterness, out of luck. She knows how to cook, so she cook to earn points to buy prescription to cure ML injured leg.... more>> They got together and got married. Some prob with sister in laws here and there. They went to live in the army camp, little trouble with neighbors,

One thing here is, she did not take the college exam since her goal is to open a restaurant. I read a similar plot, the only difference is the MC there took the exam. <<less

I really enjoyed this book. I love slice of life books and this one was very easy to read. I loved the MC and I liked how the husband pulled his own weight too. This story moved quite fast and was not as draggy as other similar books. The downfall was that it was tooooooo short and ended too abruptly. I wanted to find out what happened to all the other family members and the sons.

I actually really liked this novel. It was fluffy and had a lot of great moments. I did hope for a few extras to leave me more fulfilled but I guess the ending was still an ending so... I recommend it

While reading the story I feel like it's too long-winded. I've only made it to chapter 9. Why throughout that chapter it felt like a bunch of unnecessary chatting? Just say “he's my husband!” why do we need this unnecessary bickering when a few words can solve the problem?

I'm rating it a 3, not for the translation that's like a 5 but the story itself.

The beginning is good, it's the type of beginning that has me coming back but the author kind of veers off plot, got distracted with something new and shiny. The system itself gets abandon at one point and gets picked up when it's convenient, it's just so inconsistent.

My rating would be 4.5
The story is good, no misunderstandings, the romance is very cute and the babies are beautiful ~ ♡
But...

Spoiler

the story is very incomplete. I'll explain why: • Parents of FL, they are known at the beginning telling that sending our protagonist to the countryside in place of his older brother, due to the society being patriarchal and sexist, I was also outraged by this and hoped that FL would visit them or they would look later for more details, but in the end it wasn't like that, they were never mentioned again, which is quite strange because despite everything they were parents of the original owner. • Out of nowhere, the system just appeared to the protagonist and it was like "look, you ended up with Han Aiguo's bad luck, so I came to say goodbye" And I was so lost! that was very abrupt, after all I thought he would have to wait until old age to be completely safe from bad luck. • Last but not least, the ending was also very difficult! The author didn't let us see her newly opened restaurant anymore, I thought it would be better because the good part of the story was about how she won everyone over with food and babies, in the part where it was mentioned that the twins should go to the best universities from China. Honestly, I think they were going to introduce us to Daobao and Xiaobao's school life, but nothing was as definitive as I thought and that's sad. I think this story had a lot of potential, but the author ended it very abruptly and incompletely. But for non-demanding readers or readers who just want to read to pass the time, I think this one is quite suitable! despite the many holes in the story, this is a very refreshing read and nothing like those smothering novels~

I really like this story, reading this is like a short vacation from reading a lot of dog blood drama novels. It's very light-hearted and very fluffy, basically little to no drama. My only problem with it is that it ends very abruptly and that to me there is still some things that needs to continue on in the end like, I want to see if the niece will now achieve her dreams, what really happened to that one kid who was abandoned by his mom, and that I want... more>> to see the MC's business growing.

Overall it's such a nice read. <<less

I mtled all the chapters. Cute and wholesome, but very abrupt ending. I don't know how to put this. I want to say there were a lot of loose ends, but there wasn't much of a story to begin with. Worth a quick read, but don't go into this expecting actual, fleshed out characters.

If the ending were a little less abrupt I would give this a 3.5+. But right now, the story is just average.

Let me say that this novel is cute and totally wholesome!

I love the MC's character and the ML? Oh God, where can I find a man like him?

I have a particular bias on this author because four of her novels is part of my all time favorite. I really love her writing style.

The system is just an add on so just immerse yourself the world on their world.

Thank you @Isohungry Translations for picking this up and kudos for your hard work you put into this novel!!

this is such a feel good read! I found myself smiling while MTL reading this and my parents asked me if I got a boyfriend 囧

paigetheparr said it best about this novel! It's a very fluffy read but there's quite some missing chunks in this fluffy slice of life cake lol not too important to affect the story but it gets you thinking once you're aware of them.

ML and MC are just too sweet together that I want to cry from all this delicious dog food (*ฅ́ ˘ฅ̀*) ♡ overall,... more>> definitely would recommend reading for a good time! <<less

8.5/10 90% would recommend.

Simple, sweet, and delicious.

It's a slice of life, there is not a lot of complications, there is practically no angst, the drama is all from other annoying characters and the FL and ML are basically unbothered. The relationship is sweet, I find very refreshing how she shows her feelings openly to the ML.

... more>> The translations are good, there are some inconsistencies with the names, but in my opinion, it doesn't affect the reading too much.

The FL is positive, optimistic and steady. She adapts very fast to all situations and responds within range of logic, although some of her cooking should have been more difficult in those times than what she described, I didn't mind as much. The ML is cute, kind of bland and generic, but still cute. <<less

Simple yet quite heartwarming.

There was no excessive drama in the story. Even there was any, it had nothing to do with MC and ML's relationship.

MC and ML's love was straightforward since they're predestined lovers. Although ML felt inferior at first, love conquered all in the end.

4.5 although for me we still can make it longer.. I personally really like this setting, our MC and ML are likeable.. Not much drama. But yeah.. I think it will be good if author put 1 or 2 drama here.. This story is the one that smooth sailing but still can hooked up, it's fun to read.. And for the translation job u can understand it enough and not make u confused

3.7 stars. What can I say? The majority of this trope plays out just like this novel where a talented Mary Sue falls in love with and marries a bashful ML who plays second string and whose main goal is to make the MC shine in all her kindness. The system was barely there, I mean, MC only redeemed 3 things from it and hardly showed any interest in it, and I felt that ML's "unluckiness" was a pretty weak plot seeing how ML suffered only two major catastrophes. The... more>> story was a decent casual read. Do not expect more from it than what had been written because it is as you see it. <<less

This is a unique system trope type of novel because even though the FL has a system upon transmigration, she was not really dependent on it.

Aside from that, I was hoping for side stories or epilogue, about the twins, fourth child or lotus, as well as the main couple during their old age. I was hoping for more!!!! They seem to be an interesting angles for side stories.

one of the best MIL i've ever read in 70's stories! For real, ML's mother is *chef kisss*, she's ruthless yet kind enough to ter daughter in law and of course she does justice for our ML!

thank God the mother did not abandon the ML when his leg is limp

i think the first 40-50 chapts the story focuses on the FL accumulates point to heal the ML's legs then once those legs are slowly healing then they are going to marry

... more>>
Spoiler

actually I fell that the 3rd daughter in law not that bad compared to other stories. But once she went back to ther natal family, everyhting starts to going downhill

[collapse]

anyway, the family drama is not that nerve-wrecking

also, omg, the FL and ML really devoted to each other hahah <<less
