Reborn in 1970, I Use My Family's Heirloom Craft to Pursue Science

(The rating just came out, so it’s a little low. Don’t judge a novel’s quality by its rating alone!)

After failing her tribulation, Yun Xiu, a venerable master of the Mystic Sect, opens her eyes in the body of a stigmatized educated youth in 1976.

Her shabby house leaks, an awful family is pressuring her to marry, and the villagers call her a “jinx.”

Feeling the celestial ring in her sea of consciousness, she sneers: With a thousand years of cultivation, surely I can handle you lot?

That very day, she saves a village child who had drowned.

Then she casually shows a military family a shortcut, helping them avoid a landslide.

The iron-blooded officer Gu Zheng comes to her door holding a map still marked with cinnabar. “We can’t have any feudal superstition.”

A ghostly blue flame flickers at Yun Xiu’s fingertips. “Comrade Gu, you have a dark aura between your brows. You’ll see blood tonight.”
