[Transmigrate into a book set in the 1970s] + [Stockpiling supplies in the mountains] + [Healing romance with a rugged man] + [Food-focused wish fulfillment]
Lin Jiao transmigrates into a doomed supporting character who is about to freeze to death at the youth station. In the original story, she schemes against the male lead to steal his spot in the city, then freezes to death in a snowdrift.
She opens her eyes to a leaking roof, stolen work points, and an almost empty food supply. Lin Jiao decisively marries the forest ranger Gu Hanshan, the "jinx" everyone in the forestry district avoids, for one reason: he has a gun, meat coupons, and a warm underground home!
Before heavy snow seals off the mountains, Lin Jiao uses her golden finger, [Countdown to the Ripening of All Things], to lead the stone-faced rugged man on a wild stockpiling spree. They dig up a century-old wild ginseng root three days early, smoke five hundred jin of cured meat before the blizzard hits, train a golden eagle to help hunt, and fill their underground home with matsutake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and hazelnuts.
For the six months the mountains are sealed off, people at the youth station gnaw on tree bark and fight over work points, while she wears a roe-deer fur coat, stews deer antler, and drinks ginseng soup, all while turning the icy rugged man into a devoted puppy.
When the snow melts in spring, the original male and female leads are sent to prison for their schemes. Lin Jiao's whole family not only becomes among the first to move to the city and settle there, but also earns the title of exemplary forest rangers for the entire province!
What? You say there's no future in the bitter cold of the deep mountains?
Sorry, my rugged man just got named a national model worker and was awarded a spacious three-bedroom apartment!
