The Black-Hearted Lotus Takes the Whole Team to Greatness in the 1970s

Jiang Yu was a classic rich beauty, doing as she pleased and offending countless people. Most people who knew her called her a drama queen, a show-off, or a selfish jerk. Even her parents politely said she wasn't exactly kind. Her enemies either secretly stuck pins in her effigy or wrote her into their novels to torment her in every way imaginable.

Then one day, a former rival who had lost to her handed her a period novel. The heroine was the real daughter who had been switched at birth. She grew up in the countryside, unloved by her grandparents and adoptive parents, then was sold for thirty yuan to a one-legged, abusive butcher as his second wife.

She was pregnant when her biological parents finally found her, only to be constantly bullied by the fake heiress.

The unlucky heroine ended up with a family that favored others, friends who betrayed her, a scumbag who let her down, and children who despised her.

Wang Baochuan dug wild vegetables and waited eighteen years in a humble cave, only for Xue Pinggui to return with another woman. The heroine spent her whole life digging wild vegetables in the countryside, and only after she died did she receive a few crocodile tears from the scumbag and a few words of pity from the rest of her family and friends.

And yet the author hailed this book as essential reading for every good woman of the new century?

Of course, none of that was the point. The point was that the heroine had the exact same name as her.

Her former rival shrieked over the phone, "Jiang Yu, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Jiang Yu tossed her phone aside and lowered her head to wash her face, not taking it seriously.

When she looked up again, the scorching summer had turned into the depths of winter. Dressed in rags, she stood in a public restroom in an eighties county town, while a one-legged, one-eyed man stared in at her menacingly.

She had transmigrated!

This was the very scene from the original story, on the day the heroine was sold.

Jiang Yu sneered. Retribution? Retribution was the last thing Jiang Yu was afraid of!
