Reborn in the 1960s, Pretending to Be a Cannon-Fodder Relative Overseas

In 1962, ten-year-old Dai Baohua moved from India to Siam with her family. On the way, she developed a stubborn high fever. As she hovered between life and death, she heard the System chime, and only then remembered that she wasn't from this era. Her soul came from the future, and she'd transmigrated to save the cannon fodder, supporting characters, villains, side characters, and protagonists in a whole pile of books!

The problem was that all these people were back in China, while she was in a foreign land. She was only a ten-year-old girl, and travel was difficult in this era. How on earth was she supposed to change their fates?

Dai Baohua wanted to slack off, but slacking off would get her killed.

Then she saw her father sending an overseas Chinese remittance letter to relatives back home, and an idea lit up in her mind. She could pretend to be a relative who had gone south to seek a better life and send money and letters back to them!

After years of natural disasters and war in China, what family didn't have a relative who had disappeared without a trace?

She began researching each target's family background, looking for a relative she could impersonate: an aunt, an older sister, a niece, and so on. Then she sent them money and letters from Siam to save them from their tragic fates!

Gu Yuehe was the unlucky second older sister of the heroine of a novel about a refined, self-serving woman. Her husband had died young, her in-laws were gone, and her three children were all underage. Her family urged her to remarry and leave the children with relatives to raise. Gu Yuehe couldn't bear to, so her family called her stupid and said she'd suffer for it.

But before long, her husband's eldest sister, who had lost contact with the family years ago, sent money and a letter from overseas.

Remittances, powdered milk, a radio…

Her sister-in-law told Gu Yuehe to focus on taking care of the household and raising the children. She would cover all their expenses and make sure the four of them never went hungry.

Gu Yuehe, who'd been drowning in hardship, was suddenly swept into a life of good fortune. Her family could no longer persuade her to remarry.

Later stories include the real heiress from a switched-at-birth story, a stepmother's stepdaughter from her first marriage, the past-life wife of a reborn man, and the sisters of a heroine whose mother-in-law is reborn. More may be added or changed at any time.

[Overseas Chinese remittance letter: Also known as a fan letter or silver letter, it was a special kind of letter sent by overseas Chinese that combined a remittance receipt with a personal letter.]

Reading notes:

① At first, the heroine mainly impersonates relatives and sends overseas Chinese remittance letters and parcels. Later, there will be plotlines set back in China. Completing missions earns System rewards.

② A fictional power fantasy, full of made-up details. Please don't compare it to real life. Everything is in service of the plot, and historical accuracy isn't the point.

Blurb: The company was going on a team-building trip to Thailand. One second, Dai Baohan was looking at the flight booking; the next, she'd transmigrated into Thailand in 1960.

There was no company and no coworkers, only the outfit she'd tried on at home for photos: a bright red, high-waisted, slit dress and a woven rattan suitcase.

The good news: She'd encountered a cannon-fodder rescue System, and completing missions would earn her all kinds of rewards.

The bad news: Her targets were all in China, while she was stranded in a foreign country without a penny to her name.

Dai Baohan wanted to slack off, but slacking off would get her killed.

After all, Thailand sixty years ago wasn't the safe country she'd call home in the future.

To survive and have a good reason for doing it, Dai Baohan decided to follow the example of the Chinese people of that era and impersonate the targets' overseas relatives, sending them remittance letters and parcels.

And so the reborn heroine's cannon-fodder character, on the verge of starving to death in a famine; the cannon-fodder mother abandoned by a scumbag who cared only about money and status; the cannon-fodder character from a switched-at-birth story, deliberately given to the wrong family… All of them found overseas relatives of their own. From then on, they had money and supplies, as well as sincere care and affection. Their hard days were behind them, and life only got sweeter and sweeter!

Everyone around them was green with envy!

Dai Baohan: Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. The System gave me so much, this is nothing!
