“Third girl, being exchanged for fifty yuan in bride price so your little brother can study at the commune school is a blessing you earned!”
“With a head full of straw like his, he wouldn't learn more than a few characters even after ten years.” Su Qiao kicked open the wooden door and slapped fifty yuan in small bills across her awful grandmother's face. Reborn from a modern scientific genius as the least favored third daughter of the 1970s, Su Qiao refused to be a doormat.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed? That old widower from the neighboring brigade likes you. That's an honor!”
“Why don't you take that honor for yourself?”
After binding herself to the Knowledge Changes Your Fate System and getting her hands on advanced blueprints, Su Qiao wins the village's only place at school with a single exam paper. The villagers wait for her to make a fool of herself, but she races from the top student at the village school to the top student at the commune. She repairs farm tools, modifies tractors, and helps her mother start a factory. The relatives who once considered her a bad omen chase after her with red eyes, but Su Qiao focuses on her career and, along the way, joins forces with a technically skilled, demobilized educated youth to build a life together. Whoever gets in her way will learn a lesson from knowledge!
