Description
Upon waking up, Jiang Suihan realized that her life was just as terrible as ever, and she began thinking about how to escape from this miserable existence. Then, an opportunity presented itself. After much consideration, Jiang Suihan decided that Xu Zhao, the older brother, was tough, quiet, handsome, and dependable. She resolved to pack herself and her younger brother up and follow him to join the military. News spread through the military family compound: it was rumored that Captain Xu had brought back a delicate and frail-looking young wife. The military wives gossiped in private—some were curious, some made sarcastic remarks, and some thought it was a pity. They shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this tender-skinned city girl wouldn’t be able to endure life in the mountains and would likely be crying to go back home within a month. But as they waited and waited… Later, after witnessing Xu Zhao’s various ways of doting on his wife, they couldn’t help but look at their own husbands with increasing dissatisfaction.

My Thoughts on Daily Life After Marriage in the 1960s
"Daily Life After Marriage in the 1960s" promised a sweet slice-of-life romance set in a fascinating era. While it had moments that charmed me, I ultimately found it to be a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely appealing: a transmigrated/reborn female lead navigating an arranged marriage in a 1960s military setting. I was initially drawn in by the potential for a heartwarming story of adaptation and romance. The idea of a "no thoughts needed" read was also a plus.
What Works Well
The doting male lead is a definite highlight. He’s protective, authoritative, and clearly adores the female lead. The military compound setting offers a unique backdrop for the daily life and romance to unfold. I appreciated the focus on the simple aspects of life, like childcare and domestic routines. The story also had a 1v1 relationship, which is always a plus.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, several aspects of the story left me wanting more. The pacing felt uneven, with some scenes dragging on while others rushed by without sufficient explanation. I also struggled with inconsistencies in the plot and character development. Seemingly random scene changes and abrupt character shifts made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. I found the female lead's characterization to be somewhat inconsistent. Her actions didn't always align with her supposed intelligence or awareness of her circumstances. This made it hard to fully connect with her, even though I wanted to root for her.

Final Verdict
"Daily Life After Marriage in the 1960s" has its moments of charm, particularly in its depiction of a devoted male lead and the slice-of-life aspects of the story. However, inconsistencies in the plot, uneven pacing, and somewhat flat characters ultimately prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a lighthearted, brainless read and can overlook its flaws, you might find some enjoyment here. But if you prefer a more polished and cohesive narrative, this might not be the novel for you.
