The Seventies: I Became the Early-Deceased Stepsister of the Heroine

“I hate that I didn’t realize what was happening to Zhizhi sooner. I could only watch her waste away and die on that cold bed.”

“I hate that I was powerless, unable to help her get her house back or avenge her!”

“I hate that I was a coward, able only to watch her reputation get smeared again, while the people who hurt her went on to live increasingly successful lives. I hate it. I hate it...”

In the intensive care unit, Director Zhang Ya was gravely ill, her anger and grief plain in her cloudy eyes. The wildly popular memoir-like book, Our Fifty-Year Love Story, had upset her so badly that she had fallen ill.

Determined not to let the director die with regrets, Gu Zhi learned the story of her heavy life and decided to uncover the truth about what had happened back then.

But as soon as she began investigating in earnest, she met with an “accident.”

By a twist of fate, she transmigrated to July 5, 1977, where she was mistaken for the friend the director had spent a lifetime feeling guilty about: Gu Zhizhi, the despised stepsister of the heroine Zhou Yi, who had died young after bringing about her own downfall. Gu Zhizhi was the only character in the memoir Our Fifty-Year Love Story whom readers hated.
