Her grandmother is alive, her parents are young, her sister is healthy, and she hasn't married a scumbag—everything is perfect. Given a second chance at life, in this era of rebuilding, how can she not make a name for herself? Watch how the reborn Jiang Xiaoxi uses speculation to change her life. 2. The female lead is intelligent and cautious. Although she has a spatial ability, it's not overly extravagant. Her resource utilization is incredibly high; I was genuinely worried she wouldn't survive until the college entrance exam (she eats it herself, not sells it). She doesn't cause trouble but isn't afraid of it either. She's good at interpersonal relationships and integrates well with the village. The bond between her future soul and her family doesn't feel abrupt. 3. Bai Guoguo, a food blogger who just returned from a trip to Harbin, unexpectedly gains a spatial ability and learns she's about to travel to the 1970s. She prepares a lot of survival supplies and manages to obtain three large boxes of various technological materials. Returning to the 1970s, she helps her country achieve early development and, incidentally, finds a boyfriend! 4: In her past life, Shen Danluo's family was murdered by her vicious second uncle, and she avenged them single-handedly. However, she was reborn with a space that could exchange for various resources. In this life, she will change everyone's tragic fate. She will crush the wicked and punish the scum.
