A beautiful widow × a pure-hearted man.
In the early 1980s, a coastal town welcomed a new resident—a young widow and her child. The widow was stunning but struggling, eager to find a partner to rely on.
With the help of a matchmaking neighbor, Aunt Liu, she found a suitor, but an accident led to her modern soul, Qiao Lu, replacing the original.
As a single woman from modern times suddenly saddled with a young child, Qiao Lu faced a slew of matchmaking candidates. However, her standards were high:
Kind and good-tempered.
Hardworking and smart.
Not chauvinistic.
Must accept her as a remarried woman and love her child.
The problem? Such a man seemed impossible!
Aunt Liu tried her best, suggesting:
“Old Li from the steel factory is a stable catch!”
Qiao Lu: “No, he’s 40. Too old!”
“What about Young Song from the chemical plant? Only 29 and sturdy!”
Qiao Lu: “No, he has four kids. My child’s too shy to handle that.”
“Fine! What about Xiao Luo from the radio factory? Honest, hardworking, only one kid!”
Qiao Lu: “No, he’s not attractive enough.”
Finally, Aunt Liu snapped and slammed a photo on the table:
“This is the last one I’ll introduce! He’s unmarried, has no kids, and his finances are tight. Except for his good looks and a shabby old house, he has nothing. Take it or leave it!”
Looking at the photo, Qiao Lu’s eyes lit up—he was handsome, like a movie star!
“What does he do?” she asked.
“He runs a street stall,” Aunt Liu replied.
A street vendor? Wasn’t that the first generation of entrepreneurs?
Rolling up her sleeves, Qiao Lu decided to take the plunge!
But as they got to know each other, she discovered:
His “shabby old house” was in a prime downtown location and slated for redevelopment!
He didn’t just have good looks—he had a brilliant business mind!
This was the jackpot!
Xu Haizhou, who had moved south to start a business, never dreamed of having a wife and child. When Aunt Liu introduced Qiao Lu, he fell for her at first sight. He didn’t mind that she was a widow or had a child. In fact, he welcomed the ready-made family.
Against all odds, the two married. Together, they turned a small street stall into a thriving business, becoming part of the first wave of self-made millionaires in the 1980s!

Mu Anning lived as the obedient eldest daughter of the Marquis’s household for over a decade, only to suddenly discover she was the villainess in a novel. When the beloved real heiress returned, Mu Anning, the fake heiress, fell from grace into the mud, despised by all, and ultimately took her own life.
No wonder the boy she had loved for half her life never spared her a glance.
The marriage envied by all the noble ladies had never been hers to begin with.
So, she made the boldest decision of her life: she went alone to break off the engagement, setting him free.
But the real heiress’s gaze toward her seemed… unusual.
[You go, girl! Men are a dime a dozen—if one doesn’t work out, just swap him out!]
Mu Anning: What?!
Gu Huaizhi, the arrogant heir of the Prince of Anqing, discovered that his fiancée, who had always adored him, wanted to break off their engagement.
He sneered coldly, “Perfect! I never wanted to marry you anyway!”
He had always found her dull and uninteresting. If not for his family’s pressure, he would have ended things long ago.
But after getting his wish, he felt something was off. His desk, once filled with daily deliveries of osmanthus cakes, now felt empty.
When they met again at a teahouse, she approached him with a smile, carrying a food box.
His eyes flickered, and he reluctantly reached out to take it. But the next moment, she walked past him and handed the box to the Imperial Examination’s third-place scholar, calling him sweetly, “Ah Huai.”
The teacup slipped from his hand, shattering loudly, and blood seeped from the corner of his lips.
Even in the past, she had never been so affectionate with him.
Later, he heard she was getting engaged.
For the first time, the proud young master panicked and confronted her: “Mu Anning, is this what you meant when you said you’d never marry anyone but me?”
But all he got was her cold, distant reply: “Young Master, please behave yourself.”
Only then did the prodigy learn what jealousy and unrequited love truly felt like.
Only in death would she ever look at him again.
“With three lifetimes of sorrow, I wish you one lifetime of peace.”
“Ah Ning, may you grow old with him…”

Stay happy, no cursing!
Song Shixia relied on her mystical spring-space to build wealth but lived a precarious life. One day, a "Save the Supporting Characters" system approached her, revealing that an alternate version of herself from a parallel world wanted to trade lives.
After the swap, she found herself as the greedy and shallow stepmother in an '80s family drama novel, serving as a foil to the reborn female lead.
The reborn protagonist triumphed over toxic relatives, divorced her scummy husband, built a loving marriage, and became a successful entrepreneur. Meanwhile, the original version of Song Shixia was disliked by everyone, known for gossiping, flaunting her vanity, and mistreating her stepchild, leading to divorce and public shame.
Song Shixia, uninterested in competing, decided: "As long as I don't stir up trouble, gossip won't stick to me."
However, upon discovering that her arranged marriage husband was her ideal type, she thought: "Why not settle down and enjoy life with him?"
Later, her husband sent her—begrudgingly—to take the college entrance exam, where she achieved the top score. On her first day at university, she saw his photo on the wall and exclaimed, "We were supposed to chill together, but you're a textbook-level legend?!"
(Note: The male lead's child is his late brother's orphaned son. Both leads are first-time lovers and maintain their purity throughout the story.)
