Name: Transmigrated as a Sent-Down Youth, I Became the Factory Director's Secretary
Author: Jiedun Girl of the Liangyi Hall

Synopsis

Xu Ziqing wakes up as a minor character who appears in only two chapters of a period novel. The story opens with the heroine marrying a factory director’s son, while the original Xu Ziqing marries a good-for-nothing from the countryside. The heroine goes on to live like a rich woman, while Xu Ziqing is left to support her child and her sexist, useless husband, who beats her...

After inheriting the original owner’s memories, Xu Ziqing discovers that her stepmother was behind her being sent to the countryside. She writes a long letter to her father to report her, and the father and daughter work together to send the stepmother to a labor camp. She also takes care of the threat posed by the good-for-nothing who would have become her husband.

As a newly sent-down educated youth, Xu Ziqing wants to find an easy job in the village so she can avoid hard farm labor. By sheer luck, she gets to put her skills from her previous life to use and goes straight from educated youth to factory director’s secretary.

“Qingqing, we want the same things. I’ll give you all the money I make. If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I won’t chase a chicken.”

Xu Ziqing never expected to find such an eager, devoted man in the 1970s. She feels like the luckiest person alive, with unbelievably good fortune. Her next goal is to take her “devoted man” with her to college, save as much money as possible, and stockpile houses and land.
