Reborn in the 1970S: I Kick My Scumbag Ex to the Curb and Become an Educated Youth

Lin Wanxing is reborn. In her previous life, she drained her family’s savings, followed her scumbag boyfriend to the countryside, and scrimped and saved to put him through college. In the end, he abandoned her without a second thought, and she died of a serious illness in a rented room. When she opens her eyes, she’s back on her wedding day. Faced with his fake sweet talk and his greedy, wicked mother, she tears up the marriage certificate and flips the wedding banquet table. In front of everyone, she calls off the wedding: “I, Lin Wanxing, refuse to marry you!” Then she grabs the scumbag’s written promise that he’ll “voluntarily put down roots in the countryside” and sends him and his mother to the toughest youth station in the Great Northern Wilderness. Starting with a street stall, she uses the skills she honed in her previous life and her forward-thinking sense of style to stitch together an empire, one needle and thread at a time. She opens shops, starts factories, and builds a brand. From a jilted bride everyone mocks, she becomes the county’s first ten-thousand-yuan household, then a businesswoman famous across the province. Meanwhile, the man who once hurt her suffers through hardship in the Great Northern Wilderness: He goes hungry and cold, faces constant rejection, and when his mother dies of illness, no one is there to see her off. He sneaks back to the city to cause trouble and gets arrested. In the end, he loses his mind, wanders the streets, and dies alone. Good and evil both meet their just rewards. The heavens keep their own balance. And she doesn’t walk this road alone. From the day she tears up the marriage certificate, soldier Lu Tingxiao quietly watches over her. He rescues her from thugs, comes to her through wind and rain, and never rushes, pressures, or controls her. He confesses his love: “I’ve been waiting for you ever since the day you tore up that marriage certificate.” At last, she learns to believe that there is someone in this world worth entrusting her life to. From being trampled underfoot to becoming a star everyone looks up to; From never trusting men again to being cherished by one man for a lifetime. This is the story of a strong heroine who rejects love-brained thinking and changes her fate with her own hands, and of a devoted soldier who spends his whole life protecting the woman he loves.
