Working in the Greater Khingan Mountains [The 1970s]

Yang Zhen transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era.

She becomes an unlucky woman who travels a thousand li north to a border logging camp to marry, only for someone else to snatch her fiance away.

According to the book, after the engagement falls through, Yang Zhen will return to her hometown.

Because someone schemes against her, she has no choice but to marry in a hurry, and from then on lives the life of a tragic heroine in an era novel: a short-lived husband, cruel in-laws, a troublesome older brother-in-law and younger sister-in-law, and a child with brain damage.

The story even ends before she can wrap a single dumpling.

The word "miserable" doesn't begin to cover it.

Yang Zhen: ...

So after the engagement falls through, she doesn't follow the original plot and return to her hometown. Instead, she chooses to stay at a logging camp in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

As long as she can get a steady job, with the high wages of a "big shot in the logging industry" and all the mountain produce she can gather, life will be wonderful.

What she never expected was that the Greater Khingan Mountains, with their four distinct seasons and intoxicating autumn colors, would offer not only abundant mountain produce, but plenty of gossip in the camp's residential quarter tucked away in the mountain valley.
