    Reader note

    This novel avoids the typical female-centric power struggle plot, focusing instead on the realistic daily life of educated youth sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution! A modern-day office worker transmigrates into the body of an amnesiac educated youth, starting from scratch to adapt to the scarcity of food and clothing in the 1970s. She earns work points, exchanges them for cloth, submits her artwork for tickets, and even gathers herbs and ginseng to improve her living conditions. Surrounded by genuinely caring companions, she is accompanied by a seemingly cold but warm-hearted male lead who always supports her. The novel is filled with realistic and delicate details, from the eccentric troublemakers in the educated youth compound to the simple and honest villagers she encounters in the countryside, and the vibrant atmosphere of the commune market. It's a slow-burning, heartwarming read, sweet but not cloying. A must-read for anyone looking for something to read.
