Lin Wanxing, a 24-year-old city office worker, had spent years staying up late, competing in the rat race, and pushing her body past its limits. After an all-nighter at work, she fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated straight back to 1996, a time of scarce resources and complicated relationships, and become a sixteen-year-old country girl with the same name, bullied and exploited at home, timid and insecure.
The original owner had suffered under a grandmother who favored boys over girls. She did all the dirty, exhausting work for the family, had no proper clothes or food, and was constantly beaten and berated. At last, overwork left her unconscious, allowing the modern soul to take over her body.
