The Educated Youth Returns to the City in the Seventies: Book Transmigration

【Main story complete】 (Next book: Transmigrated as the Villainous Tycoon’s Deceased First Love) Blurb: In 1968, Li Nanshu graduated from junior high, and her family had arranged a job for her at a cotton mill. However, an anonymous letter of denunciation landed on the desk of the work-placement committee where her father was employed. It accused him of failing to actively mobilize his family to answer the call of the times, since all five of his children had remained in the city to work. Her eldest brother had graduated from university and become a secretary at a municipal confidential-affairs office. His career prospects were boundless. Her second brother had graduated from university a year ago and joined the National Agricultural Research Institute. His research career had boundless prospects. Her eldest sister taught at a prestigious city elementary school and was about to marry her boyfriend. Her second sister had just graduated from high school, but had been born prematurely. Li Nanshu didn’t want her frail sister to go through this kind of hardship. In 1968, Li Nanshu said tearful goodbyes to her parents and siblings, then headed to the countryside of southern Anhui to join the rural work force. In 1973, thanks to her excellent performance, she boarded a train back to the city, soon to become a junior-level cadre at the Provincial Party Committee’s Research Office. Full of excitement, she prepared to return home and reunite with her family. Five years had passed, and her siblings were now making their mark in their respective fields. But when she got home, she discovered that her father had been sent to a farm, her eldest brother had been publicly criticized for having a problematic lifestyle, her second brother had been isolated by his work unit and shoved into a corner, her eldest sister was facing divorce, and her second sister had just been dumped by a terrible man. The familiar plot made Li Nanshu draw a sharp breath. She suddenly realized that her family was the foil in a period novel, while the heroine was her sworn enemy, Su Qingxi. Li Nanshu felt anger well up in her chest. Tossing aside her bundle, she declared, “I could beat Su Qingxi while we were both in the countryside. I refuse to believe she can undermine me now that I’m back in the city!” *****Coming next: Transmigrated as the Villainous Tycoon’s Deceased First Love***** Blurb: Shen Shu was a university student in the 1960s. With her privileged background, excellent grades, and stunning looks, she was a darling of heaven in everyone’s eyes. But in 1964, she accepted the courtship of the young genius Chen Xiangjun, and one disaster after another followed. Out of sympathy for, loyalty to, and support for her boyfriend, she was persecuted and targeted, and died young, becoming the unforgettable first love of the academic giant Chen Xiangjun. After transmigrating into the book, Qin Shu immediately tore up the letter in her hands and took a train to see her partner, who was a thousand miles away. She had originally meant to break up with him, but after seeing the harsh conditions he was living in, she said through her tears, “Stay alive. I’ll wait for you!” Gazing at her brilliant, shining eyes, Chen Xiangjun’s expression darkened as he thought to himself, Xiao Shu, you really have come back. After returning to Lucheng, Shen Shu sent back, unopened and unchanged, every telegram her elder sister had sent urging her to set out for the capital. She told the post office, “No such person lives here.” Many people believed Chen Xiangjun was the root of the tragedy in her previous life. But Shen Shu, who had transmigrated into the book, knew the truth: it was her own elder sister, Shen Xiuli. One was the eldest daughter who had brought the family great honor in the early years of the People’s Republic; the other was the youngest daughter, an innocent girl in a peaceful era. The original Shen Shu couldn’t understand why her life had to be a stepping stone for her sister. Qin Shu, who had transmigrated into the book, couldn’t understand it either. She also didn’t know whether the Shen family felt guilty or regretful after the original heroine disappeared. All she knew was that she had arrived, and the Shen family would get no second chance. After transmigrating into the book, Qin Shu hid herself away in a small town in southern Anhui and began a dazzling, promising life as a science and engineering university student in the 1960s.
