In 1970, Shanghai capitalist’s daughter Shen Yun is left alone when her father is taken away and her mother dies of illness. She is sent down to the remote village of Liushugou.
Everyone mocks her, saying a phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken, and that her life is over.
Shen Yun only smiles.
Hidden inside the ancestral jade pendant her mother left her is a wondrous space, complete with spirit fields, a spirit spring, and a Western-style villa. She grows ginseng and raises koi, living even more comfortably than she did in the city.
There’s a taciturn hunter in the village named Gu Yanzhi. Tall and stern, he keeps to himself, and everyone says he’s not someone to mess with. Yet he’s always sneaking rabbits and wild fruit to her door at night, and even sews her a padded coat and makes her gloves by hand.
With his ears red, he hands her his bankbook. “These are all my savings. Is it enough to marry you?”
Before Shen Yun can answer, three military vehicles pull up outside the courtyard. A group of soldiers snap to attention and salute her rugged husband. “Greetings, Commander!”
Shen Yun looks at the freshly steamed corn buns in her hand and falls into thought. This man she needs to “support” seems to be someone pretty important?
It is authentic and objective, with a simple and down-to-earth voice. The stories in the book are relatable and not exaggerated.
A truly captivating period drama. Thank you to the author for the work, which vividly and comprehensively recounts the experiences of a generation from multiple perspectives. I hope that today's young people can gain a deeper understanding of that era through this book!
This novel deserves a 9.5 Rating! Why didn't I see it? It's so good! The author writes very well, keep it up! I'm not a shill, I don't know the author. Five stars!
This is an amazing novel! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for enjoying this historical fiction. May the memories of bygone days captured in my writing heal everyone who lives life earnestly. Thank you to every reader who clicked on "The 70s Space"! Shen Yun's story reflects my fondness for period dramas.
Not bad! The female lead has a strong, competitive spirit at the beginning; I'm looking forward to a happy ending.
The author's writing style is excellent. Unlike other books, it feels simple and understated, but the emotions are very genuine!
Home is the softest place in people's hearts.
