The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Tong Xuelu had the nickname Queen of Green Tea.

She was stunning in looks, has a shapely body, and had a lot of suitors, although she had never been in any serious relationships.

By the time she was done being a green tea and was about to be a nice person, her retribution had caught up to her!

She had transmigrated into a book. Into the 70s where materialistic goods were rare and she was a poor soul who was the fake daughter of a wealthy family!

Per the story, she would be face slapped by the real daughter who was rebirthed, be married to an old man who had once been married, and finally die from domestic violence.

Tong XueLu: ……I’d rather continue to be a green tea.

Raise three bosses of the future and be a salted fish such that all she had to do was to lay around and wait for things to be handed to her. [check]

Cheat her way into a government-run restaurant and have good food every day. [check]

Use her agility and wit to avoid being faceslapped by the real daughter. [check]

As far as an excellent green tea was concerned, she would be able to handle any scripts handed to her and still end up the winner.

***

Wen Rugui, a physicist, was young, handsome and had his entire life ahead of him. He had, however, let his research distracted him from starting a family.

All of his bosses were eyeing him to become part of their family.

Until one day.

Wen Rugui brought a charming girl into his research facility and with love in his eyes announced, “This is my fiancee. We are here to report our upcoming matrimony.”

His bosses: Shocked beyond words.

His female colleagues: All hearts are broken.

Tong XueLu: Sorry, all. My charm is but a passive skill.

This book is so so funny.

The writer never failed me at any part of the story. There was no confusion, and the MC character was always so funny.

I love how she played the green tea b*** so well. It was not overwhelming just the perfect mixed each time.

Hahahah this book is so so so funny.

Whish I had a ten star option, I can simply highly recommend.

It's an excellent read, akin to Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs, except this novel talks about mental illness, which I think is very fresh. The translator's site was a hassle so I read MTL, and it's almost the same.

The romance was slow, but whorthwhile. ML is discovered to have a mental illness because of childhood abuse in later chapters. I'm not sure how realistic the depiction of schizophrenia was, but I think it served as a catalyst for the characters to realize their love.... more>> The protagonist is level-headed, she takes one step and sees the next three. I really liked the atmosphere and characters, really recommend it!

The awesome bit comes from historical portrayal, it's so interesting. <<less

I loooove the MC!

I feel that MC is that kind of mother-in-law who is strong in the business and will observe you if you are worthy of her son and someone who eliminates problem before it arises.

This is a SPOILER!!? ::: When ML made a move to his mother but didn't know the consequences that he will be threatened by the person he used, so MC took care of it before this problem retaliates. I'm like sh-t, "Im in love!"

We got a mature, Caring, and independent woman here!

I cannot rate this less than 5 stars. Truly a well thought and written novel. I had to MTl it but it was worth it!!! I must say this is a mature novel, not in the s*xual way but in the logic of the plot and characters. A truly josei novel

First, you have an independent woman, selfish in the sense of first thinking about her wellbeing. It's not a cliché Mary Sue, there's no cheap faceslapping but it comes naturally. I must say, I loved her being a hooligan!!!

Secondly, there's... more>> no chauvinist cold blooded CEO and also not a puppy man, making it unbearably innocent. He shys away because he doesn't have the knowledge and because of the environment but he learns about feelings in an organic way. Thanks for that author! And his story is... omg... The angst I felt in the 20 or so last chapters.
Spoiler

His illness as an Schizophrenic person was really naturally developed during the plot but I have to say that a bit naive- without the intention of the author

[collapse]

Third, the comedy is top notch. The little Miamiam (the 4th sister) is so lovely and funny with Zhuzhu... The dinamic between simblings is hilarious. The same with the group of friends between the male lead.

This is truly a gem. Thanks for the translators for introducing it to me. It was a roller coaster! <<less

The novel is decent enough, the ML is a strange combination of a innocent young girl and a wild alpha guy, plus some very strange mental health problems, but its still alright in the end, the MC doesn't have any big flaw and is nice overall, while the romance between the two good is fairly good, it still bothered or cringed me sometimes.

The villains were definitely very lacking throughout the whole novel, but are not the worst I ever read, they also left me confused about the Author views, it... more>> seemed to be progressivist based on actions of the MC and her associates, but then there is the villain that was sexually abused when young that is portrait in a rather harsh way and the bizarre crazy gay villain, both are portrayed in what seems to be a conservative way. <<less

What can I say is, the ML are not at all perfect, most of the time protected by the MC, but ML too always protect MC without her knowing all the time.

There a lots of funny moment, for example

Spoiler

The ML as a part time professor in MC (student) university, had a date with MC by the lake, late at night, doing 'bad things' lol, which is MC the one suggesting

They both almost got seen by other professor haha, but our ML quickly hide in the bushes (they were actually seen, but the professor keep quite about it)

[collapse]

In this novel, our ML are one shy and innocent boy, while MC are the one who suggest wanting to do 'stuff' lol, which is pretty rare for me, well there are lots of pe*vert MC but the MC here are being pe*vert only to ML alone.

The transmigation are not explained why MC got into the book. <<less

I enjoyed this story but also some parts felt rushed and underdeveloped, while some parts of the story felt like it had too many details. MC is OP too and can easily resolve every obstacle she encounters.

Overall, a light read (even if there were some dark elements).

This was supposed to be a 4 star rating. From the reviews I thought I was gonna love this novel but turns out mid. It's not bad but it's not great either. There are a lot of things I disagree and not even me turning off my logic could make me overlook it.

Warning: There are a lot of children who had a bad ending here. There's a period here where the FL's younger brothers were bullied and expelled. The bully of course had a bad ending but still it's still a child. It's too cruel to have his life completely destroyed not even his future education was spared. There's also two innocent children who were abandoned by the mother. The mother lived a tragic life and was forced to have those two children. She didn't loved them so she heartlessly abandoned them. The father of course is not a good person so he and the rest of the people involved got a bad ending. Leaving the kids orphans. There are also others that I ticks me off when I read them like how under appreciated the ML's bestfriend is, despite all the helped he provided. The best he got as a token of gratitude is a half-hearted meal from the FL

[collapse]

Imma drop this for now, when I feel like it I'm gonna pick it up again. There are just too many things that ticks me off to the point I can't bypass it and enjoy the story. <<less

I was hesitant to start this. But I'm glad I did. The description is just about the early chapters. There are many twists and turns in the later part of the story. There are some unexpected events which felt unnecessary like Liang Tianyi and Jiang Baihua. They could've been just your average people but it twisted so badly in such wrong direction with so much rush. Also it feels like a novel world because there is author developing the story. Like some troubles feel like so coincidentally solved like death... more>> of Tong Zhen Zhen and Gao Mu. It is really like MC said that she came to absorb other people's luck. The people she likes are prosperous and she doesn't like dies. All in all a good read.

ML at the beginning of the novel was really my favourite with blushing all the time and his friendship with his researcher friends. They are so cute.

And I really wanted the fulfilled ending of the three siblings but their is no closure to their story. <<less

Comparing the novel with the description, the real daughter vs fake daughter only play very minor part in it. The 3 siblings also mostly appear in first half of the novel only.

The drama/feud with antagonist character aren't complicated, they got solved pretty quickly. Some antagonist had no chance at all, beaten by main character plot armour 😂

Last half of the novel is about FL+ML and their kids. Regarding ML schizophrenia, im pretty sure I have watched an english movie similar to it. I think writer was inspired by the movie.

Still... more>> a good read, I read the translated part, and just continue with the mtl. <<less

I didn't expect it to be this good!

This story seems cliche but actually full of twists. MC is typical OP due to her experience as modern transmigrated people and her ability to cook. Meanwhile ML is the one who give me surprise. His backstory is so heartwrenching and I truly didn't expect ... more>>

ML to be having mental illness. It kinda just came out and I love how MC and ML overcome it

.

This story reminds us of an era where the country controls people, patriarchal society, education isn't important and many more.

This story seems only 166 chapters but one chapter is very very long so it's gonna be quite a journey. <<less

It is one of the best stories I've ever read. I like how the ML pursued MC. He was an introvert and he did not know about feelings and relationships. He has to ask advice and listen from other people's experiences. I also like how deep their love is. This story may have focused at the beginning about green teas but it portrayed a very touching love.

This story has a good combination of romance, comedy and tragedy. It is worth the time you spent reading and more.

Completed MTL, easy to understand

MC transmigrated to book, smart MC, food/cooking, industry advancement, incredible MC, other characters are awesome (siblings/grandparents/friends/work partners/etc), a lot of patriotism but still tolerable, some angst but a happy ending

I really liked this story. It was a fun read, pretty mild no big revenge/plot and the FL and ML had a really stable and steady relationship. The only downside in my opinion is that I felt like I was done by chapter 136 and there was still more to read and it felt a little bit like a chore. Since the main story had pretty much concluded at that point. Still recommend it since it’s easy to understand the MTL and it’s pretty cute overall

Done!

The ML was very loyal to FL. 1v1, got their first in everything with each other.

No too many 3rd party in the relation which is good

The typical ML type where it is always the wife is first more than the kids haha.

Just like with other reviews before me, quite a few died in this story.

TX transmigrated as a fake child, around the same time the true daughter who was reborned came back and claim her spot.

This time she left and went to the county to bean elder sister to her 3 siblings. Took her quite an effort to get their siblings relationship fixed, she started as a factory worker, switched place as a restaurant waitress. Climbed up as a substitute chef to manager. Took the college entrance test.

Tx was good in cooking, scheming, face slapping, voice changing.

TX and WR.

They met when WR came out of the office rushing out as he received a call about his grand father, on his way out he bumped to TX and dropped his ID card. The ML has face blindness with any women's face except for her.

They met again when the orig. FL was chasing TX and little sister in an alley and TX was shouting for help, WR then came.

WR is a typical naive innocent type in everything who blushes at everything.

TX real grandfather acknowledged them and everything went well.

The ML was schizophrenic, he was abused by his mother as a child because he saw his mother with her partner and they both punished him and the mother felt addictive doing so

Some parts of his childhood memories were gone, and it became another personality.

It wasa struggle since TX chose to marry him knowing it and when WR collapsed because of his mom confronted him, he didn't know which one is real or illusion.

All in all the FL stayed with him and help him recover. They FL got pregnant 1 month after their marriage and had twins, boy and girl.

Jiaming became a businessman,

Jaixin became a soldier.

Mianmian became an actress same as previous life.

It was not as detailed as "Strict Wife of the seventies" when it comes to focusing on other siblings tragedy before vs now, and details for other characters in the story

Over all, I was able to finish it. The ending was okay.

WR really loved her, and they lived till old age

It’s so good and so different from others that I've read so far, you got everything here, from death penalty for villains every few chapters left n right, complicated but sounds yummy recipes, to mental health problems, , yes not one character with it but some of them!!! Beware beware... loool

foolish characters are foolish enough, the explanation paragraphs werent drag too long n boring, the grieves, the heart warming are all in enough proportions for me.

i want to read all this writers work!! So far I had read this and... more>> the adored koi, but all done by Mtl, , so I want to reread full translated ones someday.. I hope translator would be willing to finish this work. Thank you so much in advance. <<less

This was fun.

Why read

1. Great MC. Strong, likeable, humorous, capable, borderline narcissistic, thirsty~ with a mature outlook on life. Not unintentionally malicious and have a very me my people and I mentality that leads to her solving her own problem herself and of those close to her. Yet knows when to ask for help. And the aspect I liked most about the MC - self proclaimed green tea! And knows how to work it!!!

Though a foot or so away from being a Mary sue, the way the author has portrayed... more>> the character's IQ and EQ makes her endearing. Responsible and keeps true to her modern outlook on life throughout. She bends the world to fit her but knows the fine line of when she can go all out and when she needs to take a step back and let relevant parties handle the situation. So rare in these types of stories.

2. Love interest is the cutest. Not a convient plot addition but an integral part of MC's life. All the scenes with this guy just brings a smile to your face.
Spoiler

though the later mental issue is a bit spring up mid way. The handling of it is satisfactory. The conflict wasn't dragged on endlessly

[collapse]

3. Absolute cute and humorous line up of supporting characters. The atmosphere of family harmony and love that isn't just romantic.

4. Good variety of characters, motivations and contrast. Though some scenario are just plain convenient, the humour holds interest. The character relationships, dynamics and their interactions fill the crux of this story. Even the antagonists are treated with more layers to their character than just being bad. <<less

This is actually quite good novel. The plot, the characters are all pretty good.

The minus point is too much patriotism, but considering the timeline of the plot, is understandable.

Another minus point is how some of the MC's abilities was too abrupt and doesn't make sense. It just appeared suddenly when she needed it.

Other than that this is a pretty decent novel.
