Description
Wen Yue transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder female supporting character in a story set in a period novel. The original owner and the female lead lived similarly under someone else’s roof. The female lead dared to resist, eventually leaving the village to become successful in the big city. The original owner, however, was timid and lacked courage, marrying a lazy village gangster in place of her cousin. She despised him and blamed everyone for her fate, ultimately dying from depression. When Wen Yue transmigrated, it was already after the marriage. She opened her eyes to see her gangster husband frowning, looking grim, and bluntly stating: “We didn’t register our marriage. You can go home anytime. I won’t stop you.” But how could she? If she went back home, her cousin’s family would likely torment her to death. Wen Yue calmly considered her situation as she eyed her tall, handsome, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, long-legged husband: she could make do with this life. She thought to herself, maybe her husband could be reformed. – Zhou Yao followed his grandmother’s last wish and got a wife, only to regret it the day after the wedding. The young wife was constantly weeping, looking as if she had suffered some great grievance. Just talking to her caused her to faint. Zhou Yao: …Just send her back. However, after waking up, the young wife seemed like a different person. She stopped crying and followed him around with a cheerful smile. When he carried water back, she praised him, “You’re so amazing, unlike me. I can’t even lift the water.” When he washed dishes and clothes, she looked at him with starry eyes, saying, “You wash everything so cleanly. You can even wring out such heavy clothes. You’re too incredible!” When he dealt with her troublesome cousin’s family, she looked at him with complete dependence, saying, “What would I do without you?” Zhou Yao, flattered and invigorated, not only took over all the chores but also handed over his savings from the past few years to his young wife, feeling it wasn’t enough and set out to make more money. He vowed to ensure his wife lived a good life!

My Thoughts on The Daily Life of an 80s Gangster Spoiling His Wife
"The Daily Life of an 80s Gangster Spoiling His Wife" is a quick and easy read that left me with a generally positive impression, though not without a few reservations. It's the kind of story you can breeze through in an afternoon, perfect for when you want something light and fluffy.
First Impressions
The premise is simple: a woman transmigrates into a novel and finds herself married to a gangster. What sets this apart is the down-to-earth nature of the female lead, Wen Yue. She isn't suddenly a business whiz or an all-knowing strategist. Instead, she's content with a comfortable life, which I found refreshing. The male lead, Zhou Yao, is initially presented as a tough guy, but he quickly reveals a softer side, especially when it comes to Wen Yue.
What Works Well
I really enjoyed the realistic pacing of the relationship between Wen Yue and Zhou Yao. It felt like a natural progression from strangers to a loving couple. The male lead's devotion to the female lead is definitely a highlight, and his "gangster" persona is more of a misunderstood tough exterior than actual villainy. I also appreciated that the original female lead wasn't portrayed as a villain; instead, she becomes a supportive friend, which is a nice change of pace. The slice-of-life elements, like the cooking and daily interactions, were charming and added to the overall cozy feel of the story. I appreciated the lack of over-the-top drama and the focus on simple, everyday moments.
Areas of Concern
My main issue with the novel is its brevity. The ending felt rushed, with significant time skips that glossed over important character development. I would have loved to see more of the "marriage" phase and the couple's life together after settling down. Additionally, while I appreciated the female lead's realistic approach to life, her initial mysophobia felt a bit overemphasized and unnecessary. It created a slight disconnect, as if everyone else in the story was portrayed as unhygienic before her arrival.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Daily Life of an 80s Gangster Spoiling His Wife" is an enjoyable, albeit short, read. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance with a sweet couple and minimal drama, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a somewhat abrupt ending and don't expect a ton of depth. I'd recommend it for a quick, feel-good escape.
