Miscellaneous Notes from a 1970s Forest Farm

*

Lin Yue transmigrates into a period novel and becomes a woman working at a forest farm in Linyuan Township. She also has a hunter for a fiance.

She plans to escape the forest farm as soon as the college entrance exams are reinstated, but ends up falling in love with everything about this land.

Soil erosion and desertification caused by rampant logging, followed by earthquakes, mining disasters, and floods...

Lin Yue only wants to protect this home.

She leads the people in digging canals, planting trees, protecting forests, and holding back the sand. They make a fortune growing wild ginseng and mushrooms, and preserve Linyuan City amid the wave of townships being abolished and counties consolidated...

Before the tide of reform and opening up arrives, Linyuan Township has already expanded into overseas markets...

She builds hospitals and schools, and establishes a nursing home on the foundations of the old town. Linyuan Township is the first township to have a maternal and child health center...

And she’s only a little tailor who knows how to design pretty clothes.

She has never been alone. Amid the everyday bustle of family life, her convictions remain steadfast.

Her beloved, her family, and her friends are more than enough to support her as she ventures farther.

Looking back on her life, Lin Yue finally finds meaning in her existence.
