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

Like the other reviewers said, this story has a lot of gaps but if you're looking for a fluffy and relatively inoffensive read, this story is it.

The leads fall in love pretty quickly and none of the conflicts get dragged out.

It's a quick slice of life read at 90 chapters (compared to the stories with a chapter count in the hundreds/thousands). Also, compared to the other stories about life in this era (like Back to the Sixties, Bai Fu Mei in the 70s, Married to a Disabled Man in the... more>> 70s) it's definitely the most tame. While the few antagonists that are sprinkled throughout can be pretty annoying, they probably won't anger anyone that much because their fighting power is so weak. Almost all of them are stereotypical jealous sister-in-laws, villagers, neighbours, etc with poorly thought out schemes.
The leads aren't struggling in abject poverty either so them trying to make money is sort of a hobby more than a need for survival. I have to say though, the mother-in-law in this novel was a real surprise. She's nice to the FL and not overly conservative.

The ML is sweet.
Spoiler

He's stoic and serious like the other soldier archetypes but he'll always spoils his wife and he goes along with pretty much everything she says. My only complaint is I would've liked to see more of his character's thoughts and feelings, especially after they return to the base. Once he resumes his soldier job, he sort of becomes peripheral to the story imo. The whole thing about him being unlucky sort of disappears because he doesn't encounter anymore particularly horrible scenarios. I thought this was unfortunate because her being around to save him was literally the premise of the story.

[collapse]

Anyways, if you're bored and a fan of this genre I'd recommend it. <<less

I felt bad for the original Su Yue. She was tricked into the youth program and was depressed. In fact, she was so depressed that she "lived in a daze" and "couldn't get up from bed." She was also an introvert and had no friends. Her last wish was for someone to live instead of her.

Our MC comes along and gets to live again thanks to the original. After noticing that others don't like the original, do you know what she said?

She felt it was indeed the original's fault. No wonder others didn't like her.

I was shocked. I get that the original was working so she had responsibilities and her depression caused conflict with others but wow.

I tried to read more after that, but I couldn't. Transmigration stories are really morally tricky. Since essentially a soul steals another person's body. The least the MC (and author) could have done is to respect and be understanding of the original.

[collapse]

Other than that and the plot holes. It's an okay read. There are better transmigration stories. <<less

I would say thisis a pretty standard 70's novel- with villages, food, black markets, college revival, economic freedom etc. It is a good read if you aren't looking for something different- just a fluffy romance in the 70s china. However there were somethings that I found missing.

  • Spoiler

    We never got to see MC's real family throughout the novel. I was looking forward to some drama, or faceslapping since I knew her family was patriarchal and the MC had transmigrated so there must be someone who will suspect her. However, her family was very vague.

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    One of the side character left her husband afer the college entrance examination. I know that people did break up with their spouses during this time, but it was due to the fact they wanted to appear for the next exam which married people were not allowed to, or hooked up with someone from college. But this side character did nothing at home except read and beat her child, and just as the news of exams reinstated was delivered, she immediately wanted to divorce, which doesn't make any sense. It feels like the author just wanted to show what was happening in the 70s and pasted it on this couple. (Now I could be wrong about this one since my only source is other novels I read on this platform)

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    The previous life was never expanded either. It just felt like it was a tool for modern MC to accept the ML immediately as her fated one.

An excellent novel to read if you wanted to pass some time. I finished reading it for like a day nonstop. It has 90 chapters, so yeah, I didn't sleep.

The novel is nothing new. It has a system and bad neighbors cliche plot but still worth reading. The whole novel story is slow-moving, but for some reason, the author made it relatively fast-paced as it reaches the end of the story. And to tell you what, the end part of this novel could have been the best, but it was... more>> just not tackled more by the author. The story is just focused on the romance, but I think the author could've just slowed it more and focus on the cute fluffy side of her (MC) motherhood.

Spoiler
[collapse]

It also ended abruptly. I thought that because the author opened a new environment for the story (them going to the city), it'll continue but no. It just ended as the MC was able to open her restaurant. By the way, I was disappointed that her babies never had a side story for their own because both of them are just the cutest. There's a lot of things that wasn't tackled in the novel. It was never even revealed where are the original parents of the MC are. Like where they are? I expected them to come even when the MC was in the military compound with her husband but no. They never appeared once.

All in all, this is a good read of a novel but there are better novels out there with almost the same story plot. <<less

This is the first time I gave a book review, I already mtled this book to chapter 37 so far. I think it's enjoyable and fun. I liked the fluffy moments in the story and I don't see many flaws. Conflicts get resolved pretty quickly, at least compared to other Chinese novels.
Spoiler

Although in the first chapter or so, the MC learns that Han Aiguo (the ML) is one of her previous lifetime's lover and she accepts him basically right away, so it's a little unrealistic. I guess I could say she has high adaptability. I like the MC's character otherwise, she finds farm work tiring, is a foodie, and resolves conflicts pretty well :)

[collapse]
I find it sort of funny that Han Aiguo's (the ML) name has the same characters as "patriotic" in Chinese. If you like reading stories that take place in China during the 1960s-1980s, then I think this story will be great for you!

It was such a joy reading this one. MC has a very great character and I especially like how she's even excited for meeting the ML, instead of being repulsed by it. I mean, a quality man turns out to be your destined lover, I would be excited as well. The romance is great and the MC and ML have money-making skill. The greedy neighbors/relatives are always present - very typical for Chinese novels in an old era setting. I highly recommend reading this.

Do not expect amazing plot building though.... more>> Read this for the fluff. <<less

Good read. Its simple and relaxing. Oh, I wanted a few more chapters.

... more>>
Spoiler

Main plot is that MC and ML are like the destined match every lifetime. But a traverser broke them apart. MC was badly hurt. ML exchanged his like vitality to save her. And so, because of this, ML and MC can no longer be together and ML will be subjected to a life full of bad luck and loneliness. But because ML was destined to be a soldier every lifetime, he also save alot of lives. As the system phrases it, the heavens will not let a man who saved and can still save alot of lives just die. So the system was sent to MC to protect ML.

Not much problems along the way. Except for the annoying 3rd sister-in-law and the occasionally annoying patriarchal 2nd sister-in-law. There's also those annoying neighbors in the military compound.

Its refreshing to read a novel in the 70's with a kind, reasonable and amiable mother-in-law. She very different from other mother-in-law in other novels with the same setting.

Love between MC and ML developed fast. Well, I guess it got a lot to do with the fact that they were destined to be together even on their past lives. So there's the automatic attraction. However, the marriage didnt happened until about around c40's.

This was an alright read. It's not the best but it's not bad either.

Like the other reviewers said, there were a lot of missing information that should have been added. I would like to know about her family and how that Mao girl who abandoned her husband and son fared. I was really hoping she didn't even get accepted to go.

Also, the children of everyone else annoyed me so bad. The third sister in laws kids and that Fang woman's son just made me want to take off my belt... more>> or something.

I really liked the ML and the MC but moreso the ML. He was just so good.

5/10 would maybe recommend. <<less

The story was pretty good. It was fluffy, no misunderstandings between protagonist and no major problems.

One of the things I am dissatisfied with is the ending.

Spoiler

In the end our FL opens her private restaurant and ML gets promoted and after that they had s*x and the story is over.

[collapse]

I literally thought that there were still many chapters remaining and it ends just like that.

Many intresting characters were left hanging in the end. If only the author spend one or two chapters to let us know about their ending, I wound give this novel a 5 star.

And the other thing is Fl's parents. It was only mentioned a couple of times. It was said that they were patriarchal and send their daughter to suffer in the village. And then all the people forgot about them. They didn't even appear once and neither did they send any letters to enquire about their daughter when she was in the village. I thought I would get some face slapping chapters but no.

Overall this is a good nivel to read if you can ignore the pot holes in the novel. <<less

It's a pretty decent read. It's still a story with educated youth MC and army soldier ML. They quickly fell in love, got married, and had twins. What's different is that

this MC and ML didn't go take university entrance exam or go to any university at all. Only ML littlest brother went to uni.

Enjoyed the story. No drama just the good 'ole slice of life. I deducted a star because for the sake of conflict the other female side characters were written with no brains 😤.

Just a novel for casual reading. Doesn't venture much into MC's business. I feel like it's more drama than anything. ML also doesn't really stand out much. A typical military man who loves his wife. Good trait but just common in these types of novel.

I also agree with a previous comment. The MC goes into the original body, isn't really thankful but instead, blames the og body for how the others treat her. If it weren't for the system, she'd be just your typical woman and would have to work... more>> really hard in the countryside even when possesing the og body's beauty. Makes me feel really uncomfortable when reading so less points for that.

Tbh, I also don't agree with her not going into university. Even though she could go later if she wants. But that's just me tbh and I was also growing bored with the story at that point.

Points for the mother in law tho. <<less

The story is nice and we'll written. Every chapters are longer and the translation are well done 👍.

There are minor misunderstandings, there's face slapping, there's no another female villain who will the ML lol. Also, love the MC she's straightforward and hardworking, I swear I wish I could eat everything she cooks. As for the ML I love him. I think that the system is just useful for like 3x lol, I feel like the MC should have used the system more. It feels incomplete coz I would badly want... more>> to more about the babies and business after. I would also want to more about the daughter of her second brother. The author should have written more of them ಥ‿ಥ. I truly wish that there are more chapters and extras ಥ‿ಥ. Also what happened to the host family? I was so curious and was expecting them to show up at later chapters but it wasn't brought up. <<less

All in all it's a good read. Can be read for a day or two so it's not really that taxing. The official translators did not finish it yet so I read the mtl version.

The only thing is that its too shallow. The story is really not that bad but the details and sequences of events just brush the surface and some parts were just left as it is.

I rated it 3.5~4 cause it's still a good (for me I guess). Bai Fumei in the 70s is the first... more>> novel I read where I learned abt the Chinese Cultural Revolution and it really piqued my interest so I've been checking other novels just like this one. <<less

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
