100 + 6 Extras
70s-80s, rebirth, System
Jiang Xiaoling has a secret no once knows except her. That was on her seventeenth birthday, a system called "Xianyu" suddenly appeared in her mind. This System is interesting and there are a lot of weird things in it that she hasn't seen before. The most important thing is that she can exchange things with others! Through it, Xiaoling only used some scraps and junk in exchange for a lot of food.
Poster: "The National Mountains and Rivers Are Red" stamp auction record hit a new high! On the 18th of this month, the transaction price of the top product hit 1.6 million RMB!
Jiang Xiaoling's gaze fell on the letter she had just torn apart, and her whole body was dull! After tearing the envelope open, she saw that the stamp that was exactly the same as on the poster was also torn in half!
......
A cigarette paper box thrown away by the uncle next door was picked up by Xiaoling and sold for 180 yuan, which was converted into 50 catties of rice and 30 catties of white flour.
Xiaoling stole a beautiful river stone from her brother and sold it for 239 yuan, and the Chinese New Year goods were ready all at once.
Grandma, don't throw away your carved wooden box, it's always valuable! What can't you give it to me? Afraid of trouble? How could it be - by replacing it with corn flour and sorghum noodles, the whole village's year of famine can be carried over.
.....
Shao Yang was nagged by his father.
There was no other way but to open a Xianyu account to help him sell homemade sausages and bacon.
Unexpectedly, for the first order he received, the lady on the opposite side asked him: "Can I use stamps to exchange sausages for you? It's what the poster says, "The National Mountains and Rivers Are Red", just change one."
Shao Yang stared. After struggling with that line for a long time, and slowly typed out: "?" Are you serious? !

But after receiving the package from the little sister in exchange for something, he went crazy! Miss sister likes to eat sausage? Give it! Give it! The bacon is also delicious, and I will also send it to my little sister! Also, the smoked chicken and duck made by my old man is a must, Miss Sister, all for you! As long as Miss Sister remembers my name-Shao Yang. Next time you have something good, remember to give it back to me~
Until one day, Shao Yang flipped through the photo album at home, and his father pointed to an old photo and said to him: "This is your grandma. It's a pity that she suffered too much when I was young. She passed away many years before you were born. The old lady never enjoyed a day of blessing in her life."
Shao Yang looked more and more wrong, and finally couldn't help but ask, "My grandma...what's her name?"
Dad: Jiang Xiaoling.
Shao Yang:!!!
So, this is a story of supporting the family members across time and space.
Very nice, although it isn't so fluffy/heartwarming but its also a good slice of life.
So our MC was reborn backs to the 70-80s. In the past life, their family left the countryside and went to the City to join their Dad (their Father works in a state factory) but their grandma stayed behind in their hometown. Turns out that their Aunt married a man with a problematic background so they were arrested, they sent their twin son and daughter to their grandma, and their grandma hid them in the house. After their family got to the City, MC Mom and Dad argued about them leaving the old lady alone in the countryside. Soon, there was news that the children were reported and was taken away and the old lady died from being too emotional. This incident started the crack in their family.
Laters, MC Mom's health got worse and worse. MC Dad was working too much overtime. Anyways, soon both of them also died. So our MC and her lil bro was orphaned. She marries ML (his Dad's apprentice) and they become husband and wife and had a son, but like MC Dad, ML was always busy with work and MC's health also got worse and worse and soon MC died early.

Anyways, she was reborn when they were about to leave the countryside, so she convinces grandma to take the twins with them and have them pretend to be their Dad's son/daughter too. It's a new place and no one clearly knows how many children they have in their family. After this, MC awakens her System. In the past life, she also had this but she was really freaked out by the 'black box'. (I guess its a computer/laptop?) so she didn't mess with it, and on her 18th bday, the System disappeared. So in this life, she clumsily grope through it and finally learned how to sell online XD
MC's System is connected to the future so her stamps/cigarette labels became collector's item. And our very excited MC exchanged it for food, then...she asked ML for help to cover for her XD Soon, Dad is also roped in and she's very honest about it and told them everything except her rebirth. Our MC appears clever but that's for problems that she encountered before (like with the twins or her neighbor's divorce situation), its all from hindsight that 'it could've been done this way' but for others, she's extremely simple like telling her 'netizen friend' that she's from the past. Good thing, the netizen is a good person #SPOILER her future grandson.
Anyways, to change the future of some friends, MC had no choice but to tell ML about her 'dreams about the future' And ML pretty much guessed their future too ❤ So they eventually got together, but nothing's really change much since they live close to MC's family and later, when MC's pregnant, they all lived together again in the same house. So yeah, our MC eventually told ML about her 'online chats' with their future descendants, son/grandson/granddaughter and by then, they aren't really 'online selling' anymore but her future son is just sending things to her (mostly food, cloth, health supplements) while MC is also sending them 'antiques' that is extremely valuable in the future.
Time flies and MC have helped many people, and her & ML have secretly contributed to the factory. Her System did not disappear when she was 18 y/o but disappeared 10 years later (the computer her future grandson uses reached the end of life) So they all said goodbye to each other. The changes in MC's timeline doesn't affect her 'son/grandson' in the future so they're more like a parallel universe/heading for a different life/future now. Ending was MC taking the college entrance examination and Ending of the Extras is MC buying a courtyard house and the whole family moving there (included MC grandma/mom/dad/sibs/ML and kids).
Hmm.. its very nice. Our MC is actually quite simple. How to say...she's very conservative, which isn't bad but if you're looking for ambitious MCs then this might not be for you. By the ending, MC stayed at their small town as a teacher/didn't go to a higher place. All the foods she exchanged was used by their family, she never thought to use it to get rich/sell it. The 'online selling' System was used to communicate with future descendants as well and not for 'selling' anymore XD. Even her marriage with ML which really can't be described as 'happy' (in the first life), but she never thought of finding a new husband.
Thankfully, our ML learned his lesson from listening to MC's 'future dreams', and put family over career this time. Although he also became busy, but he learned to be more affectionate to MC (not always serious like in the previous life).
Overall, this is really more about MC's family life (now that grandma/mom/dad + new twins) are alive and changing the tragic ending of her neighbors/acquaintances. Read this for slice of life in the 60s-80s~~

Isoptera
Reincarnated, Crete finds himself not in some overpowered human body with the basic kill the demon lord cliche. No, he is reincarnated as a weak, powerless, and quite frankly worthless existence. Maybe his was a mistake, as he wasn't even reincarnated as a human but instead a humble and meek existence, A termite. Follow Crete as he adventures, without the memories of his previous life intact, in this New World, Honera. He trudges on endlessly with his indomitable willpower and journeys as a meek termite who is fraught with trials and tribulations; as he seeks for the power to just live in peace and without the prejudice everyone seems to have against his kind. Upload Schedule: M-W-F Hey guys this is my first attempt at a novel, based on the type of fiction I enjoy, it'll be mostly slow-paced at the start as I try to work out the kinks and learn more about "Isopterans". However, if y'all enjoy it leave a few nice reviews, or if you don't, leave some constructive criticism. Both would be appreciated. I also would be setting up a Patreon if any are interested in donating to help fund the story or you can send a donation through PayPal directly. I want to create something that we as RRoaders can enjoy together. You can also access the Discord here [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
