Coming soon: Climbing to the Top in the 1970s. Please add it to your reading list. On the eve of being sent to the countryside, Zhao Xiayi suddenly awakens and realizes she is the cannon-fodder female supporting character in a period novel. According to the plot, after she insists on going to the countryside, her parents feel lonely and have a precious baby boy, and she loses their undivided affection. Her childhood sweetheart, who once swore he would marry no one but her, turns around and marries the cousin who urged her to go to the countryside. The two live happily together and become millionaires. Meanwhile, in the countryside, a local hoodlum sets his sights on her. She struggles desperately to divorce and return to the city, only to marry the wrong man again and become a stepmother, ending up beaten to death by her husband. An official hands her a pen. "If you've decided to go to the countryside, sign here." She shoves the pen away. "Do I look like I've lost my mind?" Now that she's awakened, how could she give up her comfortable life just to suffer in the countryside? Zhao Xiayi is beautiful, comes from a good family, and has a fiery temper. Yet she was willing to give up a comfortable life to go to the countryside. Plenty of people are waiting to laugh at her, but they wait and wait, and no news comes of Zhao Xiayi going to the countryside. Everyone: What happened to her going to the countryside? Zhao Xiayi, Fengcheng's famously feisty girl, starts dating the commander's grandson. Zhao Xiayi: He doesn't seem nearly as dull as the rumors say. Xu Muchen: She doesn't seem nearly as fiery as the rumors say. Later, Zhao Xiayi and Xu Muchen get married. Xu Muchen: Fiery and adorable? Zhao Xiayi: Quiet but alluring? Her two-faced cousin has the script and is sure Zhao Xiayi's marriage will be miserable, and that she'll be abandoned sooner or later. But years pass, and her cousin's supposedly doomed older sister not only stays married, but her life just keeps getting better. Maybe she got the wrong script! Reader's guide: 1. The heroine only sees the plot in a dream. She is not reborn! 2. The original novel's hero and heroine are portrayed negatively. Please don't read if that bothers you. 3. The heroine grows over time. She's a little willful at first, but gradually matures and becomes better and better. 4. The hero has social anxiety, which the heroine helps him overcome. 5. This story is set in a fictional world, completely detached from reality.

In her previous life, Xue Mingzhu was the kind of woman many people wanted to climb up to. She was beautiful, came from a good family, and went to the countryside to improve her prospects. But before she could return to the city, her family fell into disgrace. Later, she married Cui Zhicheng, a man she knew well. Her husband was considerate, her in-laws were kind, and her stepdaughter was thoughtful. Even when an accident left her unable to have children, Cui Zhicheng remained devoted to her, and her parents-in-law coddled and comforted her. Who could have known that her husband's family had been the ones to report her family? Their kindness and comfort had only been a way to get their hands on the things her parents left behind. Even the stepdaughter she sincerely cared for was just pretending to coax and deceive her. Behind her back, she would only sneer, "That stupid stepmother of mine..." Plenty of people advised Xue Mingzhu to accept it. Her family was gone, so she had to rely on her in-laws. Her stepdaughter was grown and didn't need her looking after her, and would get married eventually. They had been married for so many years, so she shouldn't make trouble now. But Xue Mingzhu refused. She was done being a gentle, kind stepmother, and she was done with this life. If someone made her miserable, she would make them miserable too. Just after she sent her enemies to prison, Xue Mingzhu was reborn. When she opened her eyes, she was back at the time she had gone to the countryside as an educated youth. Back then, she was still the woman everyone envied. And Xie Kai, the man who had once loved her and whom she had loved in return, was still living in the cowshed, being reeducated, with nothing to his name. Living this life again, Xue Mingzhu thinks of the man who spared no effort to help her in her previous life and can't help asking, "Does what you said before still count?" The man who had once been brazen enough to try to steal her away blushes. Theme: Live with care and strive to improve yourself
