Song Shiwei transmigrated into a book. She had just finished defending her doctoral dissertation and was about to become the youngest PhD in physics when she came to her senses again and found herself in the body of a three-year-old girl.

In Sangyu Village, plenty of people secretly laughed at Old Man Song's family. Back then, his son had insisted on marrying a young, pretty educated youth who couldn't carry a load or lift a hand. She had even given birth to a dim-witted daughter. And yet the Song family doted on that silly girl like she was a treasure. Just look at the He family: they married their sons off at the same time, and look how well they're doing now! Their young daughter-in-law works at the supply and marketing cooperative and has a steady government job.

Song Shiwei looked at her family, who were scraping by but still saved eggs for her to eat. It turned out her family were the foil, born to serve as stepping stones for the protagonists.

Song Shiwei bit off half an egg. The 1970s were a time when the nation was rebuilding from the ground up and needed talent more than ever. With decades of future knowledge in her head, she naturally had to do her part to help the country soar.

A stepping stone? Song Shiwei could fly.

Later, the Song family lived better and better. Even a high-ranking official came all the way from the capital. They said the Song family's silly girl was a genius.

Jiang Yan had been clever from childhood, easily crushing the peers around him. People called the grandson of Official Jiang a genius, until he met Song Shiwei and was effortlessly rubbed into the dirt. Only then did he learn what a true genius looked like.

Song Shiwei watched the man who kept chasing after her. Did he like getting rubbed into the dirt?
