The Seventies’ Little Baby: I’m the Number One Scholar in a Matriarchal World

Period drama, period drama, period drama!

This is my first time writing, so please leave a comment. I'll do better next time.

In her previous life, she was the top scorer in the Great Yan matriarchal dynasty. After a bitter end, she is reborn as a little country girl in the 1970s.

Her father is the village's most notorious slacker, and her mother is a pretty face who knows how to eat but not how to work. Her eldest aunt slams the table and scolds her for wasting food, while her second aunt adds with a smile, “There's no point in a girl studying.” At four years old, she sets down her bowl and says crisply, “Grandma, I ate the chicken leg. Next year, I'll come first in my exams and make you proud.”

The whole village laughs. A little girl wants to come first?

But then…

First place in the district exams. First place in the city competition. A perfect score in the national math contest. At nine, she stands on the awards podium, clutching a gold medal, with her slacker father and pretty-faced mother behind her.

Who says a girl can't study? Who says she can't make something of herself?

Her top-scorer's spirit is still alive. So is her ambition, and so are her claws.

From the Qianjin Brigade to Beijing: a journey of 1,200 kilometers. She rises from the dirt, crushing every obstacle, serving up one face-slapping victory after another, and leaving everyone who looked down on her far behind.

She is Feng Qingqing. A top scorer in her previous life, a top student in this one. No matter the world, she will rise above the rest.

A strong heroine and a satisfying power fantasy, with rebirth in the 1970s and a journey from the countryside to Beijing, from math contests to top scores in the university entrance exams. The heroine is decisive and stays sharp throughout. Her parents dote on her, and her childhood sweetheart is a loyal puppy. Early on, she serves up face-slapping victories in the countryside; in the middle, she rises in the city; and by the end, she dominates the nation. She is the master of her own life.
