Lin Manman is a professional gossip enthusiast in the 21st century. Her favorite things are scrolling through gossip, watching the drama unfold, and snacking on sunflower seeds.
One day, she wakes up and finds she has transmigrated to 1975 and become an educated youth sent down to the countryside. A dilapidated house, a thin blanket, never enough to eat or warm clothes to wear: the one bright side is that there’s “gossip” everywhere.
Struggle sessions, neighborhood disputes, romantic rivalries at the educated youth compound, arranged marriage swaps, exam fraud… She earns energy and trades it for supplies by watching it all, and thrives.
