Name: A Needle's Eye in the 1970s: From the Start, I Land a Secure Government Job
Author: Row On, Row On

Synopsis

(Alternate-era setting, System, pocket dimension.)

Yan Wenyao, a wealthy third-generation heiress from the twenty-first century, immediately developed a sense of impending danger after acquiring a pocket dimension. She exchanged all the money she had for gold and piled it inside, figuring that gold was hard currency anywhere.

She never expected disaster to strike so soon. She went abroad for a vacation and lost her life there. When she woke up again, she had arrived in an unfamiliar era: the 1970s.

With the gold she had stockpiled in advance, she thought she would be set for the rest of her life. It wasn't until she saw her empty pocket dimension that she realized how wrong she was.

Luckily, she had a System to rely on. As long as she worked hard and kept improving, she could obtain all her twenty-first-century assets.

From then on, Yan Wenyao decided to stop slacking off and become a good student who studied hard every day. But she never expected the first skill the System wanted her to learn would be pig butchering.

“System, are you messing with me?”

“Host, we're not the same species. I can't mess with you.”

“…”

“A Host wielding a butcher's knife is the best.”

“…”

“Host, you're getting more and more skilled at butchering pigs.”

“…”

“Host, your butchering skills have reached perfection.”

“…”

Damn grass, it's a plant.

Who could have guessed that on the road to hard work and success, she'd meet a man who was just her type? From then on, she went all in on pursuing him, and eventually won the handsome man for herself.

Nowadays, so many period novels have female leads who are doctors. It seems like none don't.
