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

The villager who was so poor that he couldn’t afford a bride price, did not learn to do anything, and was idle, actually got a beautiful and rich wife from the city!

The beautiful and rich Bai (white) Fu (rich) Mei (beautiful), Zhao Lanxiang was reborn, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to find her husband in a hurry.

In their last life, they met each other in their later years, he had suffered through the ups and downs in life, and she was scarred. They warmed and healed each other in their remaining years.

In this life, she decided to give this man a good beginning, help him avoid the hidden arrows, and walk onto the bright road!

However… who could tell her why her steady, refined husband is actually such a cold, fierce, and th**ny bully as a young man?

The rough man impatiently pressed the Bai Fumei into the cornfield, patted her tender face, and said fiercely: “You know, you can’t run away if you mess with me again.”

I filtered to Heartwarming stories and found this gem. Didn’t disappoint. I absolutely adore that this isn’t a redemption plot. Thank you to the author and translator. The flow of the story is steady. It felt like watching a TV series. I love every bit of the story. 10/10

Good closure. Good story.

You could finish this in a day.

I regret not reading this earlier. I love that the male lead is not the cold CEO kind nor the Domineering overlord that I regularly see in cn novels. The ML is warm and feels very human. The FL is also a good character. The entire supporting cast were done well and it makes you distressed when you learn about what their life was like in the past timeline.

It's a story that will warm your heart.

This is the first time that I am writing a review. What can I say? THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I HAVE READ. Here's the list on why it is one of the best:

1. The characters are not one dimensional. They are not black and white. They are fictional characters with human characteristics. There' no "real villains" but the way I see it, they were all victims (except for the f*cking rapist) of a messed up political system and patriarchy. They are products of their own circumstances.

2. The... more>> author seems to be an open-minded person who has seem much of the world because there is no blatant racism in guised of humor in the story. I have read tons of Chinese novels and the amount of blatant racist jokes or monologues I have read are very disturbing.

3. It perfectly portrays the sweet and bitter realities of life. The main characters did not magically became rich. It was really nice to read their little successes and the hard work they have put in order to achieve success.

4. The ML is one of the best MLs. Not the typical cold CEOs who is only kind to the FL but treats others like tr*sh. The ML here should be the standard for a husband lol. Not forceful, not insulting, very protective of the fl, his family, and even of Pan Yu. I respect how despite the muds thrown at him because of false gossip, he still protected the victim. I stan a decent man who do not succumb to patriarchy.

I want to say more but it is best to read it yourself. Trust me, you'll learn something and at the same time, you'll be served dog food. LOTS OF IT. This story has the perfect balance of fluff and bitter realities of life.

CONS: Avoid reading some of the comments because some readers need to shove their victim blaming memtality down their wherever. 🙄 <<less

This is probably the second novel that I've read that hasn't an unrealistic golden finger accompanied by OP protagonists. It's relaxing and light hearted and I did like the romance too.

I just wouldn't recommend arguing with others when it comes to world views of what shouldn't or should the character do because pretty much, both sides have points.

Very realistic and sweet novel that makes me yearn for a simple life as long as I have a genuine partner to support me though the hardships.

I bawled my eyes out for some parts,
Spoiler

especially MC’s tragic history

[collapse]

Love this novel so much. For the first part, I only have good feelings with how they try to overcome their hardships. But I cry so hard for the entire bonus chapter because of how depressing lanxiang's life was. It was totally a f*cked up marriage. Yeah okay jiang jianjun did try to make amends, but after 10 years of neglect? Really? When I read that bit where lanxiang finally regained her self worth, I feel so relieved. Although its short, im glad to read about her second marriage to... more>> he songbai which linked back to the original reborn story. <<less

Completed the main story and I'm on extra chapters.

This is a very good slice of life. Realistic, good and heart warming. I only find it lacking in the ups and downs of novel. Probably, because the MC's rebirth the hurdle isn't as big as mountain anymore.

I find it off when the MC eats ML's tofu since the MC has a soul 40s.. (?) And the ML is just in his teens. Given MC's mental age and her life experiences, I find it a little nauseating when she wants to... more>> do something H to a minor. It's like an old cow eating a tender grass. She's like a pedo.

Normally I wouldn't touch romance genre if I could, but since the rating is pretty high and no harem tag involved, I gave it a try, and it's worth it.

The story is about time travel, but it was not so deep as to ponder of the consequences to the future, and I think it's more relatable that way. Both FL and ML basically only focus on themselves and their objective.

MC is clever, the story progress relatively smooth, there are crisis here and there, but majority it lean more to slice... more>> of life rather than drama.

It's not smut so the level of skinship is understandable, but sometime I feel it's too repetitive. There might be discrepancies regarding date and some inconsistencies, but it's not that important for me.

Spoiler

Though, by the end, it's quite disappointing why author doesn't develop arc of love rival more to give actual challenge to this couple. Instead the focus shift to the children which is cute, but completely unnecessary.

We got a glimpse of the previous life in the bonus as well. It has quite a twist, we get the POV of love rival (to show that he's not all bad, I guess?) and ML (to show that he's not that innocent?) but the fact that the main couple "always destined to be together", make the story not developed well and serve only as an excuse.

The translation is not that bad but it's not that good as well. There were times upon reading, I don't know who is which (the typical hardships in translated novels) that's why I gave this a four star rating.

(I take it back. I realized later on that the translation has gone better at the end so I'll give it a 4.5 star rating instead.)

In terms of the actual story, it was good. The setting was in 1970s of China. So when it comes to narrating this kind of... more>> historical setting, it is really plausible. The past society and intricacies when living in such development, is very detailed. So if you enjoyed stories that narrate living environment realistically, you've come at the right place.

ML is adorable. You will melt every time you read his point of view especially at the beginning. 'Cause you can feel his thoughtful care. FL is fine too. I'm not that fond of her when compared to ML but she's a pretty decent female character (which is rare lol)

Hmm.. Aside from that, there's an unexpected harvest. And that is the love rival of ML.

Spoiler

Jiang Jianjun (JJ) is full of ambition. So as a soldier, he is well-acknowledged. Very competent, I must say. But as a husband, he sucks so bad. He was abusive in his own way. He didn't do physical abuse but his indifference left FL experience emotional trauma. It is really pitiful. You might be wondering why this is an unexpected harvest since such character is hateful and common. Well, I agree with you lol.

But you see when you read it, you will notice that at the first place, FL and him is not suitable at all. JJ can love. But a pity, his character development is too late. His actions are still unforgivable but character development for antagonists is not common to encounter. The author built JJ's character well just as how he/she created FL and ML. After solidifying and molding his personality in the story, the author threw him into the tragedy route the author just threw him in the right place. Lol But it still left me with a thought of "What if he alone went back in time?"

Because if he really did, I'm expecting a room for improvement in his personality. Like, how long will he last? Will he revert back to his previous nature etc? Will he really be able to withstand the backlash of his family and ambition?

[collapse]

I badly want to know. Please make a sequel lol <<less

Lovely and touching. A must read.

The story has a more serious undertone (compared to others Chinese webnovels out there).

Their romance is not cheesy and there's not much fluffy - the story's background is a period of tension where people are tired trying to make a living- but pulled my heartstrings, in one sentence is a dedicated love.

... more>> I smiled and I cried and my only regret is that I read too fast.

For me the story really ended in the last extra it was very beautiful how both of them loved each other in their hardest times and the heart she gave to him he also gave to her. <<less

such a beautiful novel. Really describes the ups and downs of relationships in a way that just tugs at your heartstrings. I really enjoyed this novel. The food scenes were varied but didn't steal the show, and the romance scenes were sweet without being overbearing. The side characters all had personalities of their own, and the main characters were extremely likeable as well. A seriously good novel, I regret not reading it earlier.

the premise was really unique (going back to the 70s China), and as a huge foodie, I praise the food aspect of this novel. I skipped a whole chunk near the end though, since it got a bit repetitive/boring. But overall, it's a great read.

the ex husband
Spoiler

stop saying JJJ is pitiful! He isn't. He married her without love and make her suffer, abandoned her and let his childhood sweetheart, intrude in his marriage again and again until make her wife miscarried. I personally think that he didn't really love her, he just felt guilt.

I accept he isnt the most scummy husband in novels history, but he wasn't the right one for her. He made her life miserable, she gave her all until she can't do it anymore.

I think he needed to rebirth gain to watch who was the right person to be beside her, And how that man made her happy.

  1. This is the first time that I have written a review among countless romance stories that I have read. This goes to show that I have truly appreciated how great this story is. 1.) I love the FL's personality most especially her boldness and how she likes to take initiative with giving love towards the ML

    2.) The setting is quite interesting. I get to learn so many things on how strict it was during those time period.

    3.) I especially love the plot twist,
    Spoiler

    I have never imagined that there was a connection with some scenes portrayed between the FL and ML from different lifetimes

    [collapse]

    4.) I like how the FL's ex-husband suffered from both lifetimes. He truly deserved it. Sometimes we romanticize cold, indifferent and low EQ ML waiting for them to change and the FL still loves them in the end despite the numerous tragedies and heartbreaks they have caused.

    I mean, what's the point of changing if the damage has already been done, trust was already broken and scars has already been given. What I like the most are strong female leads not s*upid martyrs

    Well anyway, the son of a b*tch got what he deserved, I am truly aggravated that he can't and he wants to be blind from all his mistakes justifying that he had an unloving family or a failed relationship from his first love. That doesn't give him any right to cause pain to someone who truly loves him. Excuse the rant, thank you

    5.) I would have like more short stories for the FL, ML and their twin dolls bonding

I loved it soo much. Too much, I can't describe it in words but it really helped change my view of relationships and how you should value and love yourself before you love someone else.

I was crying buckets during the extras, the FL was so pitiful.

I love the ml, ideal husband!!!!

Make sure to find a husband like him!!! So sweet I luved it ❤❤❤

Really recommended and you should quickly read it!!!

This is a good novel and the translation is excellent. It only gets three stars because it started to drag for me and I started hoping for the end (which never seemed to come)

If you enjoy slice of life that goes on and on and on and on then this may be the perfect novel for you
