In the 70s: The Captain's Desire

Wen Ning, the female protagonist, has been transmigrated into a book for many years and knows the original story well. To avoid becoming the villainess who meets a tragic end, she carefully plans her actions, aiming to make Lu Jingyang fall in love with her from the first moment they meet. In the original story, after her father's death, the Lu family offers to adopt her, but her stepfather forces her to marry their mentally disabled son. Lu Jingyang grows to dislike Wen Ning after hearing about her ambitions. Wen Ning escapes and, after being drugged by human traffickers, forcefully kisses Lu Jingyang to ask for help. He rejects her but still offers assistance. Later, Wen Ning overhears his disdain, feeling disheartened. At the Lu family home, Lu Jingyang's mother, Qin Lan, admires her beauty, while Ye Qiao is sarcastic. Wen Ning cleverly counters with chicken and her homemade "KFC," winning the praise of Lu Jingyang's parents.
