Zou Ling was the Zou family's cherished little girl. Her grandparents and parents doted on her so much, they could hardly bear to let her out of their sight.
When young intellectuals were called upon to go to the countryside, Zou Ling had just reached the minimum age. The Zou family felt heartbroken. How could they possibly send her away?
They pressured Zou Ling's eldest sister to give up her job at the textile factory to Zou Ling, then made her go to the countryside in Zou Ling's place.
"Your sister is only sixteen. Sending her to the countryside would be as good as killing her!"
"You're older, so you should give way to her. She's your own sister!"
Zou's mother gritted her teeth. "When you come back from the countryside, your sister will give the job back to you."
Three years later, the college entrance exams were reinstated. Zou Ping passed and returned to the city, but Zou's mother was eager to make good on her promise. "Your sister failed the exam. Give her your place at university, and then she'll give you back your job at the textile factory."
Hatred flared in Zou Ping's eyes. Zou Ling, who had just transmigrated into this world, hurriedly tugged at Zou's mother's clothes. "Mom, so I failed. I'll take it again next year!"
The hatred in Zou Ping's eyes faltered.
Zou Ling clutched her chest and panted. Who could have guessed she'd transmigrate into a book, and that she'd be a cannon-fodder supporting female character who took the heroine's place at university and met a tragic end?
Take someone else's university place? As a law-abiding citizen, she would never do such a thing!
Besides, before she transmigrated, she was a small-town test-taking ace. The college entrance exam wouldn't be a problem for her!
