   The female protagonist transmigrates to the 1950s, an orphan of a martyr, experiencing a famine. She possesses a spatial ability, which helps her barely survive the lean years. Leveraging her knowledge from her previous life, she achieves first place in her county and second in the city when she enters the city's high school. She then progresses rapidly, skipping grades and gaining admission to Peking University's Foreign Languages Department. She initially wanted to study languages, not wanting to be as academically driven as in her previous life, but unexpectedly, she majored in two subjects and minored in three, leading her classmates to become equally academically driven. After graduation, with the help of her teachers and her romantic partner, she stays at a machinery factory in Beijing as a translator. Then comes the Cultural Revolution. Her exceptional talent at the factory makes her a target, and through her caution, she narrowly escapes being targeted. However, she still faces pressure to marry. In that era, joining the Party and getting promoted required being married. Unable to find a husband, she goes through a matchmaking process with the Women's Federation, where she meets her pre-arranged partner. The two marry, and what follows is her journey to becoming a diplomat—both international and domestic, involving war. Those interested can read on.
