Qiao Jiajia, who grew up in an orphanage, was reincarnated into the 1950s. As an only daughter born after her parents had been married for several years, she was deeply cherished and doted upon.
Although life in the fifties was a bit arduous, Qiao Jiajia was very satisfied with this transmigration, having finally gained the familial love she had long yearned for in her previous life.
Her family had caught a lucky break; despite being from the countryside, they managed to secure urban household registration. From her grandparents to her parents, everyone worked as staff in the provincial capital. Her grandfather was even the only “eighth-level fitter” in the steel plant, earning a monthly salary of 126 yuan—higher than the factory director’s. Life at home was wonderful.
However, as she enjoyed her blissful days, Qiao Jiajia had no idea she had actually transmigrated into a period novel, and her family was merely part of the background.
The female lead of this book was the daughter of a rural village party secretary, the male lead was a “sent-down youth,” and Qiao Jiajia’s cousin was a Cannon Fodder female supporting character. The entanglements between the three of them spanned hundreds of chapters without reaching an end.

Many years later, Qiao Jiajia looked at her boyfriend—the male lead’s friend—who was being incredibly attentive and even knitting a sweater for her. She contemplated whether she should break up with him quickly.
She had heard that people around the male and female leads were usually Cannon Fodders who attracted endless trouble, and she really didn’t want to get involved in their drama.
Lu Baiqing, dressed in a formal suit with a cold and stern aura, sat behind his office desk knitting a sweater for his young girlfriend. He looked up at her and spoke slowly with an unreadable expression:
“Jiajia, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Looking at that face—as handsome as jade and perfectly matching her aesthetic—the words of breakup died in Qiao Jiajia’s throat.
