It's about a male protagonist who is killed by his friend in the apocalypse and then travels back to the 1970s. The male protagonist has a wood-type ability that can make plants grow, and he also has a system, although the system's role in the story isn't very significant. However, there are other people who travel back in time in this book. There are the original male protagonist and the original female protagonist. In short, this novel doesn't have any conflicts between the transmigrators and the transmigrators. It's already completed and is really quite good. 4.

    In 1977, the harsh winter ended, and spring thunder rumbled. [Heart][Planted][Heart] The college entrance examination, interrupted for ten years, was restarted. A single exam paper pierced the light of destiny for millions of ordinary people. Here are the stories of educated youth rooted in the countryside, students from impoverished families who had endured hardship, young people burdened with family responsibilities, parents filled with guilt, and neighbors upholding their conscience. Some studied diligently by lamplight in mud-brick houses, some persevered in their ideals amidst rumors and gossip, some fought for quotas and struggled for their future, and some kept their true selves amidst the coldness and warmth of human relationships. There were no unrealistic comebacks, only the struggles and passion of ordinary people; there were no one-dimensional characters, only the stubbornness and pursuit of every ordinary person under the torrent of the times. This was the college entrance examination of a generation, and even more so, the rebirth of a nation. With the texture of the real era, this book recreates the passionate years and writes an epic of struggle with vivid portraits. "The 1977 College Entrance Examination: Another Spring" shows every glimmer of light in that era.
