The moment she opened her eyes, Sanda champion Lin Mi found herself in the 1970s, having transmigrated into the body of a sent-down youth.
The original owner had a childhood sweetheart she'd secretly loved for years. They went to the countryside together, where he made her do the laundry and cooking, treating her like a servant.
When she arrived, her childhood sweetheart was brazenly asking her for grain coupons.
"Lin Mi, your family sent you so many grain coupons. Lend some to Zhiyan! Her family is poor, and she's frail. You're strong and healthy, so you can handle a little hardship. Besides, don't you love eating wild greens and cornmeal buns?"
Lin Mi glanced at Su Zhiyan, plump and rosy-cheeked, then at herself, pale, gaunt, and malnourished. She was instantly furious.
Before her childhood sweetheart could keep running his mouth, she stepped forward and landed a left hook. "Go to hell, you scumbag! Give me back my grain and fabric coupons!"

The villagers surrounded an orphan, cursing him.
"Bastard!" "Half-breed!" "Foreign devil!" The insults came one after another. Lin Mi couldn't stand it. She charged over, hands on her hips, and let loose: "Picking on one person as a group is nothing to be proud of. If you've got the guts, come spar with me!"
Remembering her recent reputation for fighting the neighboring village over water and taking on ten people at once, the villagers stared up at the sky and scattered faster than rabbits.
Full of confidence, Lin Mi patted the man's shoulder. "Anyway, it's all right now. I'll protect you from here on out."
The young man lifted his eyes. They were a clear, gentle blue. "All right."
Lin Mi got a good look at his face. "...!!!"
Damn, he's mixed-race! And so freaking handsome.
What do I do? He's stolen my heart!
-
Her childhood sweetheart, wearing a face full of bruises, went around boasting: "Lin Mi was just jealous because I was being nice to Zhiyan. Once she cools down, she'll come apologize and admit she was wrong."
But as he waited, all he got was news that Lin Mi had married the half-breed from the village whom nobody liked.
On their wedding night, Lin Mi leaned over him, grinning from ear to ear. "Don't worry, hubby. No one will dare bully you again!"
The girl was pretty, her smile as bright as flowers.
Shen Xiting lowered his gaze, obedient and mild, his voice gentle. "All right."
