Working in the Greater Khingan Mountains [The 1970s]

Yang Zhen transmigrates into a period novel.

She becomes an unlucky woman who travels north to a border forest farm to marry her fiancé, only to have him stolen away by someone else.

According to the book, after the marriage falls through, Yang Zhen returns to her hometown.

Because someone sabotages her, she ends up rushing into a marriage, then spends the rest of her life as the heroine of a tragic period drama: a short-lived husband, cruel in-laws, difficult brothers- and sisters-in-law, and a child with a serious intellectual disability.

In the end, she doesn't even get to make dumplings.

A single word, "miserable," doesn't begin to describe it.

Yang Zhen: ...

So, after the marriage falls through, she doesn't return to her hometown as the original story dictates. Instead, she chooses to stay at the forest farm in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

As long as she can get a permanent job, the high salary of a "big shot in forestry" and all the mountain produce will make life pretty sweet.

She never expected that the Greater Khingan Mountains, with their distinct seasons and intoxicating autumn colors, would have not only plenty of mountain produce, but also plenty of gossip in the forest farm's residential area tucked in the valley.

Theme: Put in a little effort every day, and life gets a little better
