The Cannon-Fodder Ex-Wife Finds Happiness

Description

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

Qiao Wei found herself as the cannon-fodder ex-wife of the male protagonist in a historical novel set in the 60s and 70s. The male lead was handsome, with a broad shoulder, narrow waist, and long legs, clad in a uniform. Not only was he the type Qiao Wei liked, but his future prospects were also boundless.

In the original story, Qiao Wei was a pitiful cannon fodder who ended up in misery, dying alone after eloping with someone. In the reborn version, the original female lead married the male lead and lived a good life.

However, Qiao Wei, upon entering the book, didn’t want to be the cannon fodder. From being a lonely terminally ill patient to having a husband and children, with a big shot right at home, she couldn’t let others take that away. Qiao Wei wanted to hold on tight.

Yan Lei noticed that ever since he brought his wife back, she seemed like a different person.

“Commander Yan’s wife wears such old-fashioned fabric all the time, so simple and plain.”

Qiao Wei: Natural fabrics are so comfortable, synthetic fibers go away.

“Did you hear? Commander Yan’s wife voluntarily gave up the new dormitory and continued to live in the old family quarters, giving the chance of living in a building to someone else. Look at her ideological consciousness.”

Qiao Wei: The courtyard in the broken dormitory building is much more down-to-earth.

“We misunderstood them before. Look, the commander’s relatives are here, directly arranged in the guesthouse, high-standard reception, so atmospheric.”

Qiao Wei: Having relatives stay at home is too annoying; sending them to the guesthouse is much more relaxed.

Life went from being formal and distant to passionate and lively. From living in separate rooms in the past, she now walks around in his white shirt with smooth, straight legs in front of him. Before, he couldn’t see her in the morning, but now he could see her rosy cheeks and vibrant eyes when she woke up from morning exercise.

In the past, she complained about his lack of education and didn’t allow her to touch his precious books. Now she willingly handed him a book, saying, “Although I hope you can read it too.”

“Clothes, you can’t wash them; leave it to me,” the man said coldly.

“Just because you don’t want to wash dishes, leave it to me,” the man disdainfully said.

“Here,” the man handed it over.

“What?”

“Money and tickets,” he said. “This month I found more people to exchange cloth tickets, enough for you to buy new clothes.”

Qiao Wei smiled with her eyes curled. As long as she wasn’t the cannon fodder, Qiao Wei lived happily in this 60s and 70s setting.

Different from other similar novel. This story starts before the “era” in chinese history, MC and ML also have settings deeply entrenched in military. There will not be slice of life of typical rural farming family drama and college entrance examinations. Instead this story shows how it was before that special period, how it changes everything and the end of it all.

somewhat heavy in context. There are some things explained in that special era that gives me heart wrenching feeling.

anyway, it is a somewhat special and beautiful story. I love... more>> interactions between both leads, and reading their son’s excerpts. <<less

Okay, this was such a cute and wholesome story. It was also very relatable as if I was reading my grandparent's story especially how it depicts the past culture of people hahaha! I'm excited for the future chapters.

First and foremost let me say it ain't free, well I was able to find a free version on wattpad but it was practically gibberish. I spent $57 in order to finish this. Ugh the amount of books I could have bought with this... sigh...

It was well written - enough that I wanted to finish reading it. The female lead was clever but had moments where it made me feel a little uncomfortable, for example when she spoke about western cultures and how she instilled such thoughts into her child.... more>> Seeing as she came from a version of the future, and was practically saying to her kid "when you grow up, build weapons to wipe them out" (I am paraphrasing, but really that is what she pretty much told him). It would be one thing if she originated from that era then I could understand, because her thoughts would be the result of the environment she lived in, but she is a woman from modern society who I would hope would at least not encourage the destruction of another nation. She was also maybe a little too OP in regards to how all her speeches won over everyone, and all her articles could dazzle everyone. There was no one who would disagree with her words, or smart enough to argue with her.

The male lead was good in the beginning but then after a while was a little lackluster... maybe that's the wrong word. He still kept having military achievements, I was just hoping he would do more improving of himself by going to school or something. He did a lot in the first half of the story, but after awhile he almost became an after thought when he is supposed to be the leading male.

The story had weird pacing, for the majority of the story it had a slow pace, many things happening while the son was only 3 yrs old, then there would be these sudden gigantic time spurts that the author just glosses over. It was more of a story of raising a genius child through a turbulent span of time in their country's history and then he outgrew them before his balls even dropped and did his own thing elsewhere. The end was OK I guess just kind of bland I guess. I wasn't left feeling satisfied but it also didn't make me discontent. I kind of wish I didn't waste money on it though. <<less

It was a good read. With no additional drama. The author didn't stretch the story much hence instead of loosing interest in story around chp 1000, this 143 chp story keeps your interest. The relation between a genius and his mother was portrayed beautifully.

It’s a 3.5

Story is well written and very cute. Especially love the FL and her kids. Can’t stand the ML. The fact he can treat all women he marries the same makes it a no-go for me. He could/would have been happy no matter which woman came along is what makes him unacceptable as a male lead for me. Else everything is good to read. Luckily, the novel doesn’t focus much on the love story part.

I must say that I am really liking the novel and that the translation is very good, I can understand things well even though English is not my native language. I love how the relationship between the protagonists develops, he is very sweet and tender.

If I had to "criticize" something it would be that the chapters from 30 onwards are paid and the price is not very accessible. Translation work is something that is greatly appreciated! We really have to thank them for their tremendous work, but considering the number... more>> of chapters for the number of coins, The novel ends up costing around $50. I really want to keep reading because I like it. <<less

Good fluff story, the ending is kinda bittersweet because of their son. It is really fun to read tho cause many 1900s settings make the MC too much OP or make gigantic difference to the world her/himself. However in this story we can see how she makes a person who change the world which her child. Her son though, was addicted to research hahaha.
