Description

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

Wei Jiajia opened her eyes and found herself in the early 1950s, just after the People’s Republic of China was founded. She blinked her bright eyes, pinched herself hard—yes, it was real… The original owner fainted from shock after losing both parents in an accident, and when she woke up, Wei Jiajia had taken her place… Looking at her caring family and finally experiencing the affection she had longed for, her guilty heart stirred! In this era where survival depended on connections, and with an imminent famine approaching, she glanced at her children at home and turned to look at her future husband behind her. Wei Jiajia: “I feel like crying…”

Male lead: Qiao Haoyu had known since childhood about his arranged marriage, but he had always been indifferent about it. He thought if he didn’t find someone he liked, marrying her wouldn’t be a bad idea, especially since his mother approved! But upon seeing Wei Jiajia for the first time, he understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight. “It’s so fragrant…”

It’s okay! Nothing exciting and nothing terrible. It follows the MC’s life through the time period. Very stereotypical period novel. It’s on the shorter side (for this type of novel) so there are time skips and it does glaze over a lot.

MC travels back in time into a young teen (with the same exact body as her) - we don’t get much info on the whys and hows behind this other than it might be due to a necklace. She has a magical space (I thought it would be expanded... more>> on more) but it’s more a convenience thing so that she lives well during the various struggles.

The relationship between MC and ML are quite sweet. She doesn’t tell him her secret but ML has figured out a lot. There isn’t much in terms of character growth. ML is extremely devoted and doting.

There doesn’t seem to be much childcare but there are definitely cute children. We do get follow ups on how the children (both MC’s siblings and children) end up.

My favorite part is that all the family members (blood or not) are quite loving and supportive of each other. There really isn’t much of any family drama.

Overall, not bad for a (relatively) short time travel reincarnation slice of life period novel. I’d recommend if you like these types of novels but don’t need anything super well written. It’s enjoyable for a turn off brain and superficially read. <<less

The story is quite good. It is like the summary version of the usual transmigration novels to 70s 80s etc. Although there quite a lot of time skips, the love of the MCs and love of the family is not lacking. There are times it makes me laugh at choke in tears. I would prefer if there more satisfying face slappings or more mary sue scenarios. One thing I like in this novel is it is early romance. And quite detailed well in summarized version. Overall, I did not regret... more>> reading this. It is enjoyable. Thank you, Author. <<less

First caveat, I don't normally write reviews, so please excuse any jumbled writings!

Overall I enjoyed this story. Some of the chapter beginnings had too much of an abrupt and confusing start, usually due to unexplained or vague time skips. Also, the end of the story there were more time skips that were also a bit confusing, as they seemed to jump around and didn't make sense to the supposed age of the characters. But, the story overall is a nice slow romance with lots of family love and connections. I... more>> also enjoyed how well the MC adapted to her transmigration and how she didn't let petty people/gossip affect her and just lived her life to the best of her ability. While political/cultural impacts of the time are mentioned, they aren't delved into very much, but the author touching on these topics, most of which I never learned about, caused me to do quite a bit of googling for tertiary research, so I also learned quite a bit about the period as well! I recommend this story if you are looking for an overall happy, sweet romance between the MC and ML, as well as sweet and caring family dyanmics. <<less

5 stars to upgrade the ratings this one is really not 3.4, I can say it maximum 4.0 Although it pretty packet up with many characters, time skip and short extra chapters, u can't really hate or loving it, u want to said it was not so deep but u saw many things inside, and when u want to say it was deep, u also can't bcs they give us short and straightforward description. What I can say is this is a speed train, if u need something fast but... more>> sweet just take this and no regret <<less
