Reborn as the Little Sister of the Richest Woman in a Period Novel

Song Suisui transmigrates into the body of a fifteen-year-old girl in 1973 Xinghai City, becoming the younger sister of the novel’s female lead, Song Niannian. The original host was known as Sister Suizi, a fierce fighter with a short temper and low intelligence, a persona Suisui quickly adopts to protect herself. Immediately after arriving, she is involved in a physical altercation with a harasser named Yang Lao’er, whom she beats with a brick. Her sister Niannian, currently pre-rebirth and chatty, drags her home, unaware that Suisui is an outsider. Suisui discovers she has bound a Lazy Blind Box System, which provides random items like food, money, and storage rings at specific times of the day. Her primary goal is to avoid being sent to the countryside, a fate that destroyed her family in the original novel.

The Song family faces pressure to send their daughters to rural labor due to policy changes and job scarcity. Niannian, still in her original timeline, attempts to secure a job at a supply and marketing cooperative by borrowing five hundred yuan from her family. Meanwhile, Suisui uses her system rewards, which include cash and high-value goods like watches, to navigate the black market. She disguises herself and sells five pairs of imported watches to a black market boss named Tan Kai. With the proceeds, she purchases a full-time procurement position at the Xinghai City Machinery Factory, a job that requires business trips and offers a way to stay in the city. She also secures a deal to sell ten pigs from her system to Tan Kai, further increasing her capital.

A key turning point occurs when Niannian falls ill and is reborn, returning to her fifteen-year-old body with memories of a tragic future. In that past life, Niannian’s success came at the cost of her eldest brother’s suffering in the countryside and Suisui’s disappearance. Determined to change their fate, the reborn Niannian resolves to protect her family and prevent the eldest brother from being sent away. She discovers she also possesses a spatial ability, which she begins to use to cultivate crops and build wealth. The two sisters, now both aware of the future, work in parallel to secure their positions and avoid the tragedies that befell them previously.

Suisui begins her new job at the machinery factory, where she meets Zhou Xiuna, a girl selling her job due to family pressure. Suisui buys the position from her and forms a friendship, promising to support her financially. Zhou Xiuna, a clever and resilient girl, has already plotted revenge against her abusive stepfamily by sending them to the harshest rural assignments. Suisui’s first official task involves a business trip to the capital to procure steel. Before leaving, she sees Zhou Xiuna off at the train station, providing her with warm clothing and quilts prepared by their mother. The gesture deeply moves Zhou Xiuna, strengthening their bond.

During her trip to the capital, Suisui checks into a guesthouse and dines at a state-run restaurant. There, she encounters Qin Mulin, a handsome young man who becomes a significant figure in the story. Suisui, focused on her survival and financial independence, remains indifferent to his appearance despite her internal admiration. She packs leftovers from her meal, demonstrating her frugality and practicality. The narrative establishes her determination to build a secure life through her system and business acumen, while Niannian works to rebuild their family’s fortunes from their home base. The story sets the stage for both sisters to navigate the challenges of the era, using their unique advantages to alter the course of their destinies.
