[Reborn] [Unconventional Transmigration Into a Book] [Strong Female Lead] [Family Life]
When Chen Xingzhi opened her eyes, she was back in 1973, in a rammed-earth house. She had transmigrated into the doomed sister-in-law from the novel The Splendid Little Wife of the Seventies: the supporting character who skimped on her younger sister-in-law's food, abused her niece, and drove a wedge between her husband and his family. In the end, she was thrown out in the dead of winter and froze to death behind the woodshed.
The novel's true heroine was none other than her sister-in-law, who had "awoken from a dream" after returning from the city.
Xingzhi sneered. "You can write the script. I'll live my own life."
She knew every step of what was to come: the year the college entrance exams resumed, the year policies loosened, the ins and outs of the supply and marketing cooperative, the going rates at the purchasing station. It was all etched into her mind. While everyone else fought over the plot, she seized the opportunities first. She sold pickled vegetables to the cooperative and supplied medicinal herbs to the purchasing station, using her own hands to make life both tangy and fragrant.
A biased mother-in-law and an exploitative aunt came one after another, while her sister-in-law clung to her "heroine's script" and pushed her at every turn. Xingzhi split the household, set up her own stove, raised piglets, and met every challenge with a quick tongue and two adorable children by her side.
But when her sister-in-law finally confessed, eyes red: "Sister-in-law, I know what happens in the future."
Xingzhi smiled. "What a coincidence. So do I."
Between the heroine and the doomed supporting character, who would change her fate?
