1970s: After Escaping Certain Death I Was Love at First Sight for the Big Boss

Song Yue, a battlefield medic from a future era, awakens in the body of a teenage girl in 1975 China. The original Song Yue had been sold by her stepmother, Li Huijuan, and stepbrother, Song Tiezi, to human traffickers to secure a factory job quota for themselves. Waking up bound in a kidnapper’s den, Song Yue uses her combat training to incapacitate her captors, escape into the mountains, and survive a desperate chase through the forest. Cornered on a cliff, she jumps into the path of a passing military jeep driven by Lu Huaishen, a high-ranking officer. Lu Huaishen rescues her and takes her to a county hospital, where he discovers a startling connection: Song Yue is the long-lost daughter of his grandfather’s close friend, Yun Qing, and is also his childhood betrothed.

While recovering, Song Yue absorbs the memories of her predecessor, learning of the abuse she endured from her father, Song Jianhua, and his new family. Upon waking, she learns that Lu Huaishen has arranged for her safe return to Rong City via a sleeper train, providing her with an introduction letter and funds. She travels back to her residential compound, only to find her family spreading rumors that she ran away to Beijing. When she confronts them, she reveals she is alive and demands compensation for being sold. Using a kitchen knife to threaten her father, she forces Li Huijuan and Song Tiezi to hand over six hundred yuan. After securing the money, she hides it in various locations around her room and begins planning her next moves.

The conflict escalates when Song Yue discovers her family has signed her up for the Educated Youth Movement, sentencing her to the remote Northwest. Rather than accept this fate passively, she visits the local street office and, following advice from Yang Duo’s mother, stages a public scene by lying on the floor. Her cooperation with the police in dismantling the trafficking ring earns her a reward: her relocation is changed to Heilongjiang Province, a less harsh destination. She also sells her late mother’s job quota to her close friend Yang Duo for six hundred yuan and ration coupons, ensuring the job stays within her trusted circle rather than falling to her stepbrother.

Back at home, Song Yue discovers her father’s hidden stash of gold bars and cash concealed in the bed legs, along with property deeds. During a search of her stepmother’s belongings, she finds her biological mother’s jade bangle. When she touches it, blood from a cut activates a mysterious Medical Space system. This golden finger allows her to store items and earn points by treating patients, giving her a significant advantage. She also learns that Song Tiezi is two-timing his fiancée, He Jiao, with another woman. Song Yue confronts He Jiao in a cafeteria, warning her away from her brother. The chapter ends with Song Yue having secured her financial independence, neutralized immediate threats from her family, and gained a supernatural ability that will aid her future endeavors.
