    [Original novel fans] The female protagonist travels back to 1970 with a system that allows her to instantly kill (i. E., Achieve instant success). She rises from a purchasing agent at a supply and marketing cooperative to become an exporter. Her career is fulfilling, her family dotes on her, and the story is full of nostalgia. It's definitely worth reading!
