The 1970S: My Brother Takes the Blame While I Bring a Blacklisted Man Home

I transmigrate into the cannon-fodder role in a 1970s story, the worst member of the heroine's foil family. My whole family exists to help the heroine rise. My eldest brother is her backup, my second brother gets taken for a ride, and I drown to death. Su Wanwan looks at her hapless eldest brother bringing pastries to the white lotus heroine. Whoever wants to follow this script can do it themselves. Instead, she sets her sights on the most untouchable man in the village: the silent, down-on-his-luck young man living in the cowshed. Everyone avoids him. Su Wanwan squats by the field ridge and blurts out to the man eating a coarse corn bun: “My heart is tied to you.” Her eldest brother nearly breaks down on the spot. “He's one of the Five Black Categories!” She blinks. “You can't choose your family background.” Later, the man is cleared of his political label and returns to the city, transforming into a powerful figure in the capital. A sedan drives into Hongqi Village and takes him away in front of everyone. The white lotus is stunned. Su Wanwan waves with a smile. “My brother isn't yours, but this one is mine.”
