: 七零旺夫小媳婦
63 + 13 Extras (ongoing)
70s, military wife, doting ML, slice of life
Single dog Zhou Jing transmigrated into a book and became the supporting female lead who is crazy for the male protagonist of a seventies novel. She kept making trouble and refused the man from the military who were arranged by her parents.
Mother Zhou: "If you really don't want to, mom won't force you..."
Zhou Jing: "Mom, I will marry."
A woman who didn't marry was like a sinner in the 1970s. It would be better to be engaged to a man who stayed in the barracks until the last chapter in 1980s.
Just when Zhou Jing thought she was safe and secure, Comrade Cheng Yuan asked for leave to go home because of his engagement.
Very nice slice of life~
So our MC transmigrates into a novel as a small female love rival. The original also likes the male lead. Because the male lead and heroine are already together, MC's parents are worried about MC's reputation for chasing the (already-in-a-relationship) male lead so they hurriedly married her off to our ML. Our ML meets with MC, gets their marriage certificate then takes MC home to the barracks.
ML is somewhat gentlemanly(?) at first. He's very considerate to MC and they get along like 'ordinary comrades'. Anyway, MC finds out his good points as they get along and she decided to live her life with him. ML became famous as a doting husband, and him and MC became known as loving couples. MC also became famous in the military compound for her good craftmanship and knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. She helped several wives adjust their bodies/get pregnant. Laters, him and ML also get little buns (1 boy and 1 girl).
Time flies, the college entrance examination is resumed but MC chose to stay with ML. ML gets promoted fast and they have to go to the border. MC still follows him along with the little buns and she also served there as a military doctor. After the war is over, ML gets promoted again and they go back to the military compound where they lived before. The economy has opened up so MC partners with the other military wives to get rich. A fellow transmigrator shows up, gets resolve fast and MC tells ML about her 'transmigrator' identity. More slice of life, then ML gets assigned to the provincial capital. Some family conflicts cos the little buns feel neglected. MC gives up her career as a 'businesswoman' and just becomes just a shareholder instead. Ending is MC's 40th birthday.

This is nice, although the family has little buns, its really focused more on MC & ML couple. When ML is at work, MC is never idle, either she's helping the other military wives or doing something for her own family. And when he's there, its the couple's flirt time XD. MC's female antagonist identity doesn't really hinder her much cos they're far away from the plot. At most, they sometimes meets the heroine and male lead who is not doing so well. Like I said, there are no major dramas or conflicts. I guess, the biggest one was when the MC's daughter got angry with MC cos MC was so busy with her career (she says she feels like they're orphans). And its understandable, ML is not there for the whole day and now, MC is also not there plus she already has 2 strikes with the little girl (she forgot her birthday and a school presentation). It's just too bad that MC had to give it up and couldn't find a work-life balance that works for her cos she always told those military wives that women should have their own careers. Plus the way that little girl said it was just plain rude/disrespectful. (Gaah. Brat). Anyways, it was resolved by a heartwarming family meeting, and MC chose to just invest in real estate.
Extras is MC & ML sending their daughter to college and then MC's daughter side CP with the grandson of ML's previous leader. Errr.. dunno if its because of that one conflict. But yeah, I kinda don't like the daughter. Thru some relationship by his Dad, she became a University teacher but didn't want to teach (why be a teacher then?); there's an important meeting the next day, but she still got up late (she forgot to press the alarm), running over there and spilling soymilk on the guest (which happens to be her side CP). It's too much like an idol drama =_=

Nearest reco is Stepmother [Transmigration], MC also lived in the military compound in the 70s-80s, and has a doting ML~ Stepmother is more funny though XD

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
