Rebirth of the Comfortable Days of the 1960s

Liu Shuxin was a twenty-two-year-old survivor of a post-apocalyptic world where zombies and mutant beasts ruled. Possessing both super strength inherited from her father and wood-based abilities, she died saving a teammate during a mission. Upon awakening, she found herself reborn as a three-year-old girl in 1955 China, living in the Liulin Brigade with her extended family. Unlike her previous life, this new world was peaceful, though economically strained. Shuxin quickly realized she had transmigrated into a novel, becoming a minor character whose family members were destined to be tragic cannon fodder. Her cousin, Liu Shulan, was fated to be sold as a child bride during the upcoming famine, only to be exploited and abandoned by a man named Liu Fu. Her brother, Liu Jianguo, was destined to become a background character in a romance novel, drained of vitality by the female lead. Determined to alter these fates, Shuxin sought to secure her family's survival and happiness.

Shortly after her rebirth, Shuxin discovered that she retained her supernatural abilities and had acquired a spatial dimension linked to a Nine-Color Lotus seed. This space allowed her to store items, accelerate plant growth, and preserve food indefinitely. Recognizing the impending three-year Great Famine starting in 1959, she began secretly accumulating resources. She used her wood powers to grow crops in her space and hunted wild animals, ensuring her family would not starve. As she grew older, she won the affection of her stern grandparents through her intelligence and sweetness, gaining their trust and support. She also used her knowledge of the future to guide her family, urging her grandfather to purchase coarse grains like sorghum and sweet potatoes during a trip to the county seat, thereby stockpiling essential food supplies before the crisis hit.

Shuxin’s actions significantly altered the trajectory of her relatives' lives. She intervened to prevent Liu Shulan from becoming a child bride by exposing Liu Fu’s true nature to Shulan’s parents, allowing Shulan to marry a kind and capable man from a nearby village instead. This decision spared Shulan from a life of hardship and abuse. Meanwhile, Shuxin focused on her own education, skipping grades to enter a key high school in the county town. There, she befriended Huang Yao, the daughter of a police chief with military connections. Shuxin had previously saved Huang Yao and her mother from robbers, forging a lasting bond. Through this friendship, Shuxin secured employment at the newly built railway station as a train attendant, while Huang Yao became a ticket seller. This position provided Shuxin with the mobility and income she needed to further support her family and expand her resource network.

Throughout her youth, Shuxin balanced her studies, work, and secret cultivation of her powers. She continued to use her space to grow high-yield crops and raise animals, maintaining a steady supply of food and medicine. She also engaged in small-scale trade, selling dried herbs and homemade goods to earn money, which she used to improve her family’s living standards. Her physical strength and spiritual power grew steadily, allowing her to navigate the challenges of the era with confidence. By the time she reached adulthood, Shuxin had successfully shielded her family from the tragedies predicted in the novel. She lived a comfortable life, surrounded by loving relatives who were safe from the fates that had originally befallen them. Her journey from a desperate apocalyptic survivor to a protected young woman in a peaceful era highlighted her resilience, strategic planning, and unwavering commitment to her family’s well-being.
