A Woman Disguised as a Man in the 1970s: The Instructor Uncovers My Secret Identity

A tough, fearless policewoman from the twenty-first century dies unexpectedly on duty. In an instant, she transmigrates to the 1970s and becomes Ye Qing, a timid orphan in the Ye family, where everyone bullies her and she was beaten to death.

In her previous life, she was hardened by countless battles. In this one, she is trapped in the mire, under pressure at every turn. Faced with cruel, vicious relatives, a legitimate elder sister who schemes against her at every opportunity, and her pitiful birth mother, who has endured endless suffering and has only her daughter to rely on, Qin Ye has just one goal: break free, protect her mother, and defy fate to carve out a place for herself.

With her back against the wall, she leaves her weakness behind and conceals her female identity. Armed with practical skills and a clear, forward-looking perspective, she turns the tables and forges her own path.

She puts down roots at the Hongqi Town Agricultural Machinery Factory, applies herself to the technical work, and solves difficult problems. Her achievements earn her a special promotion to permanent status, securing a steady state-sector job. Through hard work, she establishes herself at the factory and finally escapes a life of grinding poverty.

Once things settle, she sets off for the old family home and personally brings away her mother, who has suffered for half her life. She rents a small place for them to live, leaves behind the humiliation of being dependent on others, and builds a safe haven of their own in a cold, chaotic world.

By chance, she meets a group of loyal friends, each with their own skills. They support one another and face the road ahead together.

She also unexpectedly encounters Yan Chenxing, the untouchable heartthrob of the military district.

Tall and straight in his military uniform, he is cool, taciturn, restrained, and distant, entrusted with important duties and hiding a sharp edge beneath his calm exterior. From the moment they meet, he sees through her carefully concealed female identity. He says nothing, quietly takes her side and has her back, and protects her unwaveringly.

Troublemakers at the factory, an ex's old flame coming back to latch on, the Ye family's worst people showing up as a group to pick fights and set traps, and hidden currents swirling beneath the surface...

Qin Ye puts her skills to use and lets her sharp edge show as she tears into scoundrels, delivers face-slapping comeuppances, and focuses on building her career, protecting her loved ones, and cherishing her friends.
