What a Miserable Fate: I Transmigrated to the 1970S and Ran Into Him Again

Lin Shiqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty was happily preparing for her wedding when the man she loved shot her dead beneath the city wall. She became a wandering ghost and spent decades drifting along the border, watching that heartless man go from dark hair to white, from a promising young man to a frail old man, from heartbreak to acceptance. Then a bolt of lightning struck her and sent her to another world. When she awoke, Lin Shiqing found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, with an unfamiliar identity, an unfamiliar daughter, and a husband who was both a stranger and strangely familiar. In this era, where labor is held in the highest esteem, Lin Shiqing has no idea how she’ll survive. She’s frail, and she has two hungry little girls to raise. Oh, and a boy she took in, too. And that husband she hasn’t even met yet: why has he disappeared, and why has he stopped sending money? Does he want his family to starve? Life is hard, so Lin Shiqing rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. Luckily, her storage space came with her, and luckily, she still remembers what she learned about traditional Chinese medicine in her previous life. With these two treasures, what does she have to fear? She can surely raise a few children. Wait, adopted son, your secret identity is showing. Do you know that? And you, that man: weren’t you dead? Could this one be a ghost, too? “Wife, touch me. I’m not a ghost. I’m warm, and I’m alive and kicking.” The man refuses to be taken for a ghost and tries his best to prove he’s human. Hmph. Maybe she should do without this husband who’s both a stranger and familiar. She’s afraid he’ll shoot her dead all over again.
