Description
After Dong Jiaojiao’s death, she realized that her world was a book, and she was originally the female lead in the story. However, her luck was taken away by a transmigrated woman, leading to her tragic demise. With a second chance, Dong Jiaojiao aims to change her fate against all odds. As for her husband, He Chengjun, who is the male lead of the original book, he regrets everything he did with the transmigrated woman in his past life and is willing to let it go. He Chengjun cares about his reputation and refuses to divorce. Dong Jiaojiao decides to apply for divorce herself and spreads rumors in the military compound that He Chengjun is incompetent and not a real man. Finally, they divorced. He Chengjun thinks that Dong Jiaojiao, a rural woman, won’t survive without him and waits for her to beg for mercy. However, to his surprise, he learns that Dong Jiaojiao remarried to the top executive of the adjacent research institute. What’s more, due to their age gap, he has to call him “uncle”… Doesn’t that make Dong Jiaojiao his aunt? On the other hand, Lu Jinzhou is extremely sensitive to smells due to his childhood experiences. He thinks he will never get married until he meets Dong Jiaojiao. Their first encounter leaves a deep impression, and a unique fragrance immediately captivates Lu Jinzhou’s heart and soul, entangling him incessantly, never to be forgotten…. People in the military compound say that Dong Jiaojiao, a rural woman, is not worthy of Director Lu’s prestige and charm, especially as a divorced woman. But little do they know, Lu Jinzhou is determined to cherish his hard-won wife and treat her well.

My Thoughts on Reborn in the Seventies: Don’t Be A Cannon Fodder
"Reborn in the Seventies: Don’t Be A Cannon Fodder" promised a nostalgic trip with a second chance at life, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others. Overall, I found it to be a mixed bag, a story with potential that didn't quite reach its full potential.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of a reborn protagonist navigating the challenges of the seventies. The idea of a modern mindset clashing with a different era always offers interesting possibilities for both humor and drama. The early chapters definitely hooked me, but as I delved deeper, some of the initial charm began to wear off.
What Works Well
The slice-of-life aspects of the story are definitely its strong point. I enjoyed the author's depiction of the era and the protagonist's attempts to build a better life for herself. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing her use her knowledge from the future to carve out a niche for herself in the business world. The interactions, while sometimes flawed, also provided moments of amusement. I particularly enjoyed the more lighthearted moments.
Areas of Concern
However, the romance felt rushed and somewhat forced. The male lead's infatuation seemed to develop a little too quickly, lacking the depth and nuance that would make it truly believable. I also felt that the female lead's characterization could have been more consistent. At times, she came across as overly aggressive or even shrewish, which detracted from my ability to fully root for her. The plot also felt rushed in places, with some storylines feeling incomplete or underdeveloped. And the translation could definitely use some improvement as it felt like I was reading MTL.

Final Verdict
"Reborn in the Seventies: Don’t Be A Cannon Fodder" is a decent read if you're looking for a lighthearted, slice-of-life story with a touch of romance. However, be prepared for some inconsistencies in character development and a romance that might not fully convince you. It's an okay read, but not one that will necessarily stick with me for a long time.
