After ten years of hunting down criminals, Wen Qing finally brought all her enemies to justice. Before she could even catch her breath, an accident sent her to 1968, into the body of a sent-down youth who was already dead.
The sent-down youth had the same name, face, and appearance as her. Wen Qing was stunned. Just as she was at a loss, someone "accidentally" knocked her into a large irrigation canal.
Wen Qing, who couldn't swim: Oh no, oh no, oh no.
It wasn't over yet. Someone rescued her. But when she heard that the person who had saved her was called Rong Tingchen, she was completely dumbfounded. So she'd transmigrated into a book, and not only into the childhood years of the male and female leads, but into the body of someone who had nothing to do with the book.
Except now she did have something to do with it. The one who knocked her into the river was the young male lead's mother, while the person who pulled her ashore was the powerful man the young male lead's mother had spent her whole life yearning for.
Wen Qing: How can life be this ridiculous???
Looking at the powerful man who had come to visit, she felt conflicted. "Comrade Rong, are you seeing anyone?"
Rong Tingchen answered honestly. "No."
Wen Qing stood at attention. She wanted to take a shortcut back to the city. "I can't repay you for saving my life, but I'm twenty-two years old, my name is Wen Qing, I'm from Shanghai, my ancestral home is Jinling. I enrolled at Shanghai Finance and Accounting University in 1964 and went to the countryside in 1966. I'm an excellent student with a clean family background and no bad habits. Both my parents are alive, and I have sisters and brothers..."
Watching the young woman introduce herself, Rong Tingchen couldn't help smiling. Marriage? They were on the same page.
Three months after marrying and returning to the city, Wen Qing found a job.
Six months after marrying and returning to the city, the young male lead's mother arrived in Shanghai with her son to stay with relatives. Those relatives lived in the same compound as Wen Qing and Rong Tingchen.
A year after marrying and returning to the city, Wen Qing ran into the young female lead's mother at work.
Two years after marrying and returning to the city, Wen Qing flipped the table.
Rong Tingchen: I'm just a brick. My wife points, and I go.
