Latest Slice of Life Novel

The '80s Control Group Remarries and Reverses Their Fate Completed

Shen Huanxi had terrible luck.

Her first marriage was to a “phoenix man” (a man from a humble background who exploits his wife after achieving success). Her second marriage was to a “mama’s boy.” She toiled tirelessly to support the family but neglected her two daughters, unaware that:

In her first marriage, her husband secretly abused the children.

In her second marriage, her husband turned her daughters against her.

Over time, her daughters became deeply scarred, timid, and estranged from her. Their once-close mother-daughter bond dissolved completely:

Her eldest daughter, suffering from silicosis, preferred scavenging for scraps over asking Shen Huanxi for help.

Her youngest daughter, who developed lung cancer, chose to endure her illness in silence, dying alone in a rundown apartment because she couldn't afford medical treatment.

When Shen Huanxi was reborn to the moment just after divorcing her first husband, her daughters were still innocent, healthy little buns who cuddled in her arms and shared their tiny dreams. This time, she swore to rewrite their fate.

In her past life, Shen Huanxi never realized she was merely the “control group” in a period novel, meant to highlight the original heroine’s perfect life.

In this life, she chose to remarry—but not to the men who ruined her and her children’s lives. Instead, she married Xiao Shanhe, a man with disabled legs, purely as a pragmatic decision:

To give her daughters access to good schools and a healthy environment, far away from lung disease.

To ensure she could protect them at all costs, even if she had to deal with Xiao’s two stepchildren as “tools.”

However, Xiao Shanhe turned out to be far more than a "tool." The once-disabled scientific genius regained his ability to walk, doted on her endlessly, and adored her daughters as his own. Even his two sons clung to her, crying and calling her “Mom.”

By accident, Shen Huanxi had turned her "tool" into her closest ally and built a harmonious family.

Meanwhile, the original heroine, watching her supposed “control group” become a national hero and live a fulfilling, perfect life:

“Why is her life better than mine in this timeline?”

When Alternate Identities Come with a Vomiting Blood Debuff Completed

Note: The story is complete! Please support the official version on JJWXC. Make sure to read the notes below before proceeding.

Pre-Order Recommendation: I Became the Embodiment of the Red Moon (Synopsis below.)

Amamiya Ruisheng was born with a weak constitution, frequently vomiting blood and barely surviving until the age of 18. Just as he was about to give up, a broken Alternate Identity System approached him, offering him the chance to experience a pain-free life through alternate identities. By completing tasks and collecting energy, he could extend his life.

Thinking he had nothing to lose, Amamiya agreed. However, the system was indeed broken—each alternate identity came with its own flaws, and his inherent “vomiting blood” debuff was also transferred to them.

A private tutor hired by a family bandaged a child’s wounds, advising him to cherish his life. Mid-lecture, the tutor vomited a pool of blood.

The bandaged child: “You don’t seem to cherish your own life.”

Amamiya: “It’s congenital. Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

A new student at Jujutsu High fought fiercely with a curse spirit. After exorcising it, he tried to greet his Six Eyes classmate but ended up vomiting blood instead.

Classmate, shocked: “Are you injured?”

Amamiya: “Not injured. That was fun. I won’t die.”

The peacemaker of the Vongola Family spent his days stopping the Guardians from fighting, often by standing between them and vomiting blood.

The strongest Guardian: “Stop fighting. The weakling needs medical attention.”

Amamiya: “Thanks for the concern, but I really won’t die.”

His friends constantly worried he was on the verge of death, and Amamiya repeatedly assured them he was fine. But before he could gather enough energy, his original body gave out. Regretfully, he halted his tasks, arranged affairs for each alternate identity, and returned to his original body to await death.

Then, his friends realized the person who always smiled and said, “I won’t die,” had truly left them.

“Please live on.”

They sincerely wished.

The Salted Fish Stepmom’s Daily Life in the 1970s Completed

Also known as The Village Beauty’s House Swap.

Recommended completed work: The 1980s Naked Marriage Daily Life.

Next project: The 1980s Female Village Official or The 1970s: Remarrying a Fool (depending on inspiration).

Because her house was too small, Xu Wen’s family of seven—three generations—slept on the same kang (heated bed).

Suffering from severe insomnia, Xu Wen decided to marry herself off.

Her biggest requirement for a husband: He must have his own room!

Xu Wen, known far and wide for her beauty, attracted many matchmakers. She picked a candidate, but her family objected:

Grandmother: No, he has no parents.

Xu Wen: Perfect, I won’t have to serve in-laws. Plus, he has five rooms.

Parents: No, he’s divorced.

Xu Wen: That’s fine. He has five rooms!

Sister: No! He has a child. You’ll be a stepmom, and that’s hard!

Xu Wen: Great, I won’t have to go through childbirth. And he has five rooms!

Brother and Sister-in-law: No, he has a scar on his face and is terrifyingly ugly. He could scare children!

Xu Wen: Doesn’t matter. He has five rooms.

On the wedding day, the groom mysteriously disappeared. A few months later, news came that he had died without a trace.

Family: We told you not to marry him! Now you’re a young widow with a stepchild. How will you survive?

Xu Wen: I’m getting double the pension. Life’s great! No need to remarry!

Outsiders: Don’t marry Xu Wen. She’s cursed and will kill her husband!

Xu Wen: I have money, a house, and a child. Why remarry?

Xu Wen quietly erected a cenotaph for her husband, thinking, Sorry, but your house, your child, and your money are all mine now!

Lu Yuanzheng: ??? Excuse me, I’m still alive!

The Cannon Fodder Wife of the 1980s Hong Kong Tycoon Completed

After waking up, Song Shu found herself transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder wife of a 1980s Hong Kong tycoon.

Her sister-in-law had run off with a wealthy businessman, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter.

Her legendary gangster husband didn’t even show his face at their wedding.

The original owner of her body had also run away after resolving her identity issues, leading to the tycoon’s niece being kidnapped.

As a result, the original owner was caught by the tycoon and drowned in the sea.

When Song Shu met the little girl’s round, innocent eyes, she decided to lay low to avoid the same fate.

But not long after, she found herself face-to-face with a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man.

Song Shu poked his waist and said, “Wasn’t I just renting a room from you?”

The man shamelessly wrapped his arms around her waist and coaxed, “Well, now I can rent your room too.”

The once-feared gangster was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Zonghao, a notorious gangster, heard that his sister-in-law had arranged a marriage for him with a mainland girl.

His brothers laughed, “A mainland girl? Is she tiny and timid?”

That night, he returned home and was immediately hit with a stick. Looking up, he saw the mainland girl glaring fiercely at him.

Chen Zonghao sneered inwardly, So much for being timid.

He vowed to teach this woman who dared to hit him a lesson.

Later, during an interview, a reporter asked, “Mr. Chen, how do you respond to rumors that you’re henpecked?”

Chen Zonghao remained silent, thinking, It’s not that I’m henpecked; I just don’t bother arguing with her.

But as soon as he returned home:

“Honey, dinner’s ready.”

“Honey, I’ve drawn your bath.”

“Honey…”

Song Shu looked at the man trailing behind her like a puppy and teased, “Chen Zonghao, everyone says you’re henpecked.”

The man didn’t care, “Oh, that’s because they don’t have a wife.”

Pre-Order: The Little Daughter-in-law of the 1970s Compound

Lucky Alley was buzzing with excitement recently.

The youngest daughter of the Su family was said to be arranging a marriage.

The girl had been beautiful since childhood, the most stunning flower in the entire alley.

Everyone wanted to see who would win her hand.

The first suitor was a small employee from a factory’s logistics department, wearing glasses and looking very refined.

The second suitor was a former soldier turned police officer, with a scar on his eyebrow that could scare children in the alley.

Everyone assumed the delicate girl would choose the first suitor—a city-born man with supportive parents and a lucrative job.

The second suitor was from the countryside, orphaned, and just a lowly police officer.

To everyone’s surprise, the Su family’s daughter chose the second suitor.

The neighbors sighed, thinking the girl had no taste.

Li Wanru, who had been reborn, arrived just in time for her best friend’s matchmaking.

Remembering her best friend’s future life as a wealthy lady, she decided to steal her suitor.

This time, she would live the life her best friend had in her previous life.

Lucky Alley hosted two weddings on the same day.

One was the Li family’s daughter marrying the logistics employee.

The other was the Su family’s daughter marrying the police officer.

Strangely, both couples lived in the same compound.

After marrying, Li Wanru waited and waited for her in-laws to serve her and for her husband to strike it rich.

But instead, her life grew worse, while Su Qingli’s life improved, eventually moving out of the compound and relocating to the capital with her husband’s promotion.

The 1970s Only Child Who Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore Completed

Yan Sisi accidentally fell into the water and only then realized she was living inside a period novel.

In the book, the female lead was her “cousin,” a switched-at-birth true heiress who returned from the countryside, married the “son of a high-ranking official,” went to university, and fought against her toxic family to uncover her true identity. After overcoming numerous obstacles, she reunited with her biological parents.

As for Yan Sisi, the only child of a dual-income family, she was merely a foil to the female lead—a tool to highlight the female lead’s resilience, kindness, and to deliver the golden finger: a “wooden bracelet” that granted a storage space.

Once the female lead put on the bracelet, she unlocked the storage space and even gained good luck, with people always stepping in to help whenever she faced difficulties.

After regaining her memories, Yan Sisi thought: Wouldn’t it be better if I unlocked the storage space myself?

To her surprise, when she successfully unlocked the space, it turned out to be a随身种植空间 (portable planting space). Planting anything inside attracted a swarm of foodies, and there were even little spirits to pamper. Life couldn’t get any better.

What are the female lead and male lead? Are fragrant, sweet fruits not delicious? Is waking up naturally every day not a good life?

Yan Sisi stayed away from the female lead and others who kept approaching her, comfortably lounging in her dream courtyard and living a retirement life ahead of time in the 1970s.

Reading Guide: This story is set in a fictional world. Please do not associate it with reality.

Daily Life in a Tube-Like Apartment Building in the 80s Completed

Qian Qing married into an oil field, and on the second day of her wedding, she had a dream.

In the dream, her neighbor and best friend, Wan Zhenzhen, who got married on the same day as her, was a reborn individual. Not only was she reborn, but she also gained a golden finger: the ability to bind someone and siphon their luck.

The more unlucky the bound person became, the more money Wan Zhenzhen would earn.

Unfortunately, Qian Qing was the one bound.

In the dream:

When Qian Qing stopped her husband from going on a business trip, Wan Zhenzhen found 1,000 yuan by the river.

When Qian Qing argued with her husband’s boss, Wan Zhenzhen coincidentally solved a technical problem at the oil extraction plant and earned 2,000 yuan.

When Qian Qing mistakenly thought her husband had an affair and caused a scene in the筒子樓 (Tongzilou), Wan Zhenzhen bought an antique vase and earned 5,000 yuan.

...

In the end, under Wan Zhenzhen’s manipulation, Qian Qing ruined her husband’s career and was the first to be laid off during the downsizing wave.

Wan Zhenzhen, on the other hand, earned millions, moved her family out of the筒子樓, and later used the money to buy property, living a prosperous life.

Meanwhile, Qian Qing was diagnosed with cancer and lived a miserable life with her husband in the筒子樓.

When Qian Qing woke up, she was so angry she threw a pot.

“I can mess up my own life, but you’re making money by pushing me to ruin myself? Are you tired of living?”

“Business trip? Go ahead, go quickly!”

Loyal Technical Genius Husband vs. Money-Loving Little Peacock Wife

[Important Notes]

This is a “sieve world” where reborn female antagonists and transmigrated female antagonists exist. The female lead is a native.

The female lead’s lack of intelligence in her past life was due to plot reasons.

The story focuses on family drama, daily life, and making money—mainly the female lead’s family’s journey to wealth.

The male and female leads are deeply in love and grow together.

The antagonists usually self-destruct while the leads focus on making money.

The oil field life has no real-life prototype and is based on the author’s research, with some fictional elements. Thank you for understanding.

My Kitchen Leads to the Eastern Palace Completed

Corporate worker Si Li transmigrated into the body of the legitimate daughter left behind by the late wife of the Ning Dynasty’s Chief Minister. Her father was preoccupied with court affairs, and her stepmother was sweet on the surface but cruel at heart.

Forced to adapt, Si Li, a takeout expert in her past life, picked up a kitchen knife and began working for the Chef God System, which claimed that earning enough points could change her dire situation.

[Ding! A plate of burnt charcoal. Points -1.]

[Ding! A bowl of barely edible porridge. Points +0.]

[Ding! A plate of poorly sliced cucumber salad. Points +1.]

[...]

After finally earning enough points, Si Li went from being a pitiful girl waiting to die to the famous proprietor of Wanglai Residence, a renowned restaurant in the capital. She thrived, amassing wealth, indulging in gourmet food, and attracting lines of customers that could circle the capital three times.

She woke up naturally, counted money until her hands cramped, and even her stepmother humbly came to ask for her help, while her stepsister seethed with resentment but dared not act out.

The only annoyance was her father, who frowned and said, “You’re so old and still not married? This is outrageous!”

Si Li: Excuse me? Mind your own business!

Just then, the Eastern Palace entourage arrived with betrothal gifts. The fierce, arrogant, and cold Crown Prince Jiang Hengyun smiled gently at her and said, “Li Li, why didn’t you wait for me?”

Si Li: ??? Do we know each other?

A monk once said that Jiang Hengyun’s killing aura was too heavy, and he should not be allowed close to others. His father, the Emperor, erased his military achievements and forbade him from appearing at court without reason.

Jiang Hengyun never believed in divine coincidences or fate—until plates of food and strange notes began appearing out of nowhere.

“If you cook it yourself, you have to eat it, even if it’s terrible.”

“Corporate slavery? No thanks. Let others enjoy the ‘blessings’ of overtime.”

“Eating hot pot alone is fine, but it’s more fun with someone else.”

“...”

The lively words of this mysterious person shattered the icy facade he had maintained for years.

In the cold night, you were my only warmth.
