Young Educated Youth in the Seventies: I Use the System to Change My Future

[1970s] [Trading System] [Low-Profile Survival Expert] [Husband and Wife Building Their Careers Together] [Sweet and Satisfying]

Overwork herself to death and transmigrate into an insignificant nobody in the 1970s? No problem. My fate is mine to control! An ordinary corporate drone from the 21st century dies from staying up too late, then opens her eyes in the body of a middle-school student in the 1970s, unloved by both parents.

What? The original girl was adopted? Her parents both skipped town? Zhou Wan slaps the table. "I'm done with this life!" She volunteers to go to the countryside, swindles a little money, and makes a run for it. Then, unexpectedly, her System awakens!

While everyone else fights to the death, she quietly builds her strength. While they struggle over every scrap, she secretly stockpiles goods. Life goes on like this until the college entrance exams are reinstated. After years of studying her heart out, she gets into university and returns to the city in triumph.

After graduating, she keeps a low profile: she doesn't compete or grab for more at work, and secretly makes money after hours. Then she realizes that the little boy she helped a few times back then keeps showing up in front of her. Heh, turns out he's a puppy who thought he was doing a great job hiding his feelings.

When the policies finally open up and the winds of change arrive, Zhou Wan makes her move. She takes on factory contracts and goes into business, quietly making a fortune.

Later, everyone in business knows of a couple so low-key they're almost unbelievable. The husband does research, and the wife makes money to support his work. Nobody knows his exact background or how much money they have. All anyone sees is their names on the donation lists every year. They never flaunt their wealth, and on the rare occasions someone spots them, they're sharing a bowl of noodles at a little noodle shop, laughing as if nobody else is there.

This is the story of a corporate drone who transmigrates and quietly builds herself into a winner in life. She doesn't compete or fight for more, just makes a fortune on the quiet, and picks up a like-minded husband along the way.
