The Daily Life of a Passerby in the 1970s

Time travel + no military marriage + no rural re-education/relocation + no black market dealings + no demonizing the original female lead One moment of crossing through time—and Lu Jinxia wakes up inside a retro-era novel she’d once read. Sadly, she’s not the heroine—just a nameless extra. In the book, the heroine is an educated youth sent to the countryside: gentle, resilient, blessed with a protagonist’s halo—who eventually returns to the city and lives a happy, fulfilling life. Lu Jinxia? She’s barely a passing mention—so insignificant she doesn’t even brush the edges of the main plot. She has no urge to compete or outdo anyone, no desire to cling to the heroine’s glory. Lu Jinxia only wants to guard her secret personal space and live a peaceful, stable life in the city. Inside her private space—stockpiles of rice, flour, grain, oil, fresh fruits and vegetables—guaranteeing her enough food and clothing even in this era of scarce supplies. She works earnestly at her job during the day; comes home to cook simple meals after work. Days are quiet, steady, and grounded. Never meddling in the plot, never seeking trouble—living as a carefree, unburdened background character and making her small life rich and satisfying: that is her ultimate goal after traveling to the 1970s. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Daily Life of a Passerby in the 1970s — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
