The Foolish Beauty of the 1970s Starts Playing Mind Games

A powerful metaphysics master opened her eyes to find that she had become a lame, dim-witted woman in the 1970s.

Her leg had been broken by her father, Xu Lao'er, when she tried to run away from an arranged marriage. Her mother had called her stupid and beaten her with a hammer when she fought back.

The original owner married an old widower, couldn't have children, and was cursed as a barren hen. In the end, she died miserably.

Faced with a dead end whose end was in sight, Xu Roujun had planned to lie flat, but somehow managed to haul herself back up.

Xu Lao Tai, who favored boys over girls, wanted to marry her off to an old widower and use the bride price to buy her nephew a bicycle? Xu Roujun told the neighbors outright that she'd seen her own father sneaking into her elder sister-in-law's bed.

When her nephew heard about it, he beat Xu Lao'er until his head was bleeding, drawing the neighbors to watch over the wall.

Xu Roujun's mother tried to brainwash her into devoting herself to the family, claiming that after she married, her birth family would help her in her husband's household?

Xu Roujun retorted that Xu Lao'er was cheating with her sister-in-law, so why had nobody in her birth family stood up for her? Her mother was so furious she refused to feed her for two days.

As Xu Roujun kept revealing more and more dirty secrets, everyone said a girl like her was bound to get slapped around once she married into her husband's family.

Just as everyone was waiting for Xu Roujun to marry the widower and get beaten, she ran away from the wedding again!

Xu Lao'er said she had no skills to make a living outside and would come crawling back sooner or later.

The Xu family waited and waited. They got news that Xu Roujun had gone to university, then news that she had found a job in the city. They saw on television that she had become an outstanding businesswoman. She became the pride of the village, someone everyone held in the highest regard.

[Female Lead]

Xu Roujun knew that her employer's son hated superstition, so during her time working as a celestial master in his home, she always wore a poker face that kept everyone at a distance.

On the day university began, Xu Roujun discovered that the guy was actually her classmate.

A month later, he handed her a love letter and said, "Xu, I'm Lin Huaijin, the guy who sits behind you."

She admitted that part of the reason she'd accepted the letter was that she wanted to tease him.

[Male Lead]

Lin Huaijin didn't like the celestial master his father had hired at great expense at all. He never imagined that he'd end up eating his words so painfully.

One day, he brought his girlfriend home for dinner and noticed his father hesitating to say something. He couldn't hold back. "Dad, if there's something you want to say, just say it!"

After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Lin said to Xu Roujun, "I'm still more used to calling you Celestial Master."

Lin Huaijin: "?"
