九零年代小甜妻 蜜雨恬言
111 + 11 Extras
rebirth, 90s, college life
In the last life, when Lu Hua married Wen Mian, no one was optimistic about them. Everyone wanted to ask Wen Mian who has a steady career why did she look at an old girl in her 30s? But after they got married, the two had a honeyed life. Even though they had no children for many years, Wen Mian still spoiled her as before.
When she woke up, she returned to college in the 1990s, the scumbag and green tea bitch friend had not had time to frame and harm herself. What's more, Wen Mian is studying in the second year of graduate school at Q University next door. Marry while young; and living back a beautiful and sweet life with him was just around the corner.
But how did the husband, who was gentle and considerate to her in past life, became a steel/iron tree? It is also said that men chase women, across the mountain; women chase men, interlayer yarn, then this must be an iron yarn!
Also, the bamboo horse who wantonly hurt her for the green tea bitch, suddenly launched a fierce pursuit of her?
From the same author as Seventies Military Wife. Hmm... its not so sweet.
So our MC and ML gets together late in life, but they lived happily. On MC's bday she wished that she could go back to the past and give birth for ML (They did not have kids in the previous life). Then she rebirth back to college. She starts chasing ML (he's in the University next door) but of course, ML ignores her, a strange girl who just suddenly confessed to him. Laters, our MC continues to cheekily chase him. Then our ML was finally moved, but before that, he happen to say something hurtful to MC so MC distances herself from him. So it became ML chasing after MC instead.

Anyways, ML chases after MC, they get together soon. Some cannonfodders making trouble here and there; and ML also has dreams that him and MC were old and was run over by a car. After hearing about it, MC retrieves this memory, and she remembers that they were indeed 'killed' so she starts thinking about who would kill them. At the same time, MC and ML meet the parents on both side, they decided to get engaged first and then marry after graduation, then they had a little bun.
Laters, they found the 'culprit' after the guy also tried to run over ML in this life. After solving the hidden dangers, the couple lived happily, MC being a teacher and ML running his own business like the last life. 22 years later, when MC retired, they gave birth to a second little bun.
Extras is past life ML chasing MC, sweet~ Then side CP about MC's big brother and his friend. Then POV from MC's son about his 22 y/o-gap younger sister.
Hmm.. MC is not really a 'sweet wife of the nineties', I mean her chasing ML at first was more funny than sweet and then it was ML who was doing the chasing. But yes, the couple is sweet. I guess I just didn't like that there were too many cannonfodders around them. Of course, they eventually get punished but compared to the no drama Seventies Military Wife, this has more...conflicts and some of it was even from relatives.
The 'sweet' also doesn't cover the side CP. Frankly, MC's big bro was kind of a scumbag for delaying his friend's marriage again and again. Aaannd lastly, hmm, this is a 90s novel but MC's actions doesn't adhere to the times(?), when they had a false alarm that she was pregnant I felt really disappointed that MC's education (not sure if ML's as well) would be affected cos she'll have to dropout then, just because they couldn't control themselves.

Overall, this is okay, but you don't really feel the 90s setting cos our MC doesn't really adjust herself to the times. I guess the very '90s atmosphere' is that there is no surveillance when people commit crimes (How many times was ML almost run over and no one was punished?).
Nearest reco is Bai Fumei in the 70s, with MC going back in time and finding her husband in advance. Read this for ML chasing his wife.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
