**In a car accident, she changed from a business queen to a village girl in the 1970s; once again, she wanted to rewrite the times and her own destiny. **
In 2023, Lan Jin, CEO of a multinational technology group, suffered a car accident after successful negotiations. When he woke up, he found that he had traveled to the northern countryside in 1975 and became the 18-year-old village girl Lan Zhaodi. Faced with dilapidated mud houses, patriarchal families, backward production methods, and arranged marriages that were used as bargaining chips by her parents, she decided to use modern wisdom to change her fate.
**Wisdom against the countryside, start from scratch**
From improving the method of drying rice to secretly operating black market transactions, from organizing women to start businesses to fighting against the corruption of village bosses, Lan Jin used her business acumen to tear a hole in the cracks of the planned economy. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, she prepared for the exam during the day and studied banned books by night. She joined forces with Ji Mingyuan, a professor from Tsinghua University who was sent to the countryside, to use knowledge to lever the shackles of fate.
**[The truth rises and falls, the mystery of life experience]**
An old case of drowning of an educated youth involves a shocking life story: the birthmark on Lan Jin's ankle, the Shanghai watch chain collected by his younger brother Baogen, the birth certificate in the medicine box of barefoot doctor Wu Qiaozhen... All clues point to that bloody night in the county hospital in 1972. When family ties run counter to the truth, she must make a choice between emotional bonds and self-salvation.
**Swimming against the current, riding the wave of the times**
When the spring thunder of reform and opening up sounded, Lan Jin had transformed from a female workshop worker into the first batch of township enterprise helmsmen. Foreign capital encirclement and suppression, policy risks, technical barriers - she waves in the times with her forward-thinking vision.

The story is very fast-paced, like a movie. The timeline is wrong and it feels messy. Maybe it's because I'm not smart enough to understand.
