The Sickly Male Educated Youth of a 1970s Big Shot

Female powerhouse, female dotes on male, yandere

One moment, Ling Zhao was a business magnate who could turn the tides with a wave of her hand. The next, she opened her eyes as a girl with the same name, starving and swaying on her feet in the countryside of the 1970s. Even more absurdly, this body came with a mysterious space where she could store grain and grow medicinal herbs.

Newly arrived, she met Shen Yan, the village’s frequently bullied young urbanite sent down to the countryside. His face was pale, but his eyes were sinister. Everyone else called him eccentric and hard to deal with, a sickly man you didn’t want to cross. But Ling Zhao saw in his eyes the same ruthlessness and obsession she recognized in herself.

“From now on, I’ll protect you.” The powerhouse’s words rang out, firm and clear.

She used supplies from her space to nurse him back to health and drew on the methods from her past life to clear every obstacle in his way, pampering this seemingly fragile young man beyond measure.

No one knew what kind of madness lay beneath Shen Yan’s mild exterior. He greedily soaked up the warmth she gave him, quietly winding himself around her life like a vine as his obsession deepened by the day. “A Zhao, you can’t leave me. No one can take you away.”

When a powerful heroine meets a yandere hero, will her strength make room for his extremes, or will his obsession hold her back? In the barren 1970s, two equally formidable souls are drawn to each other and find salvation together, igniting an all-consuming romance built on mutual devotion amid the rhythms of everyday life. He is her weakness, and she is his armor. Together, they will carve out a life of their own in this extraordinary era.
