Reborn in 1975: No Longer a Sacrificial Lamb, Now the Heroine

A clear-eyed reborn rural girl × an intellectual, restrained educated youth: an inspiring love story set in a bygone era, about changing their fates together and growing side by side.

Only when her fiancé strangled her to death did Wang Suisui realize how badly she'd gone wrong. Reborn before the 1975 Lunar New Year, she had already given away her recommendation for a worker-peasant-soldier college placement. The damage was done, and Wang Suisui swore that this time she'd get back everything she'd lost, with interest. She catches a couple in the act in the grain warehouse, breaks off her engagement in public, cleverly demands compensation, drives away the scumbag, and leads her family in opening a braised-meat shop... She'd only meant to protect her family and build a good life, but unexpectedly, she crosses paths with the educated youth Lu Beizheng.

In her previous life, she'd heard he was left with a hidden injury after refusing to frame someone. This time, she tries to warn him, only for him to kiss her while under the influence of an aphrodisiac. Thinking of how his previous life ended, she suddenly doesn't feel like resisting anymore.

“Either tutor me so I can get into college, or I'll tell the whole village you tried to molest me.” She uses this threat to settle things between them once and for all. But as he tutors her day and night, she sees the sincerity beneath his stern exterior.

He teaches her math and science; she helps him settle into the warm, smoky life of Kaoshan Village. His mechanical expertise saves her family, and she travels to the farm for his sake, takes on bullies, catches spies, and rescues his humiliated mother.

The braised-food shop opens, they buy a tractor, and together they build a thriving life.

A domineering commune director wants to take her by force, while his childhood friend, a younger sworn sister, hopes to melt his heart with her devotion.

The divide between city and countryside... every obstacle only brings their hearts closer.

After the national college entrance exams are reinstated, they both get into university.

This time, he helps her adjust to city life. From Kaoshan Village to the capital, from the warmth of the kitchen stove to ancient books and cultural relics, she finally understands: being reborn isn't about living for revenge, but being born again for love.
