Reborn While Running Away from an Arranged Marriage? The Cold-Hearted Ex-Wife Is Pampered Crazy by the Chief Commander

Lin Yuqing, a pharmaceutical researcher from the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the body of a young woman with the same name in 1970s China. She awakens in a drugged state inside an apartment belonging to Su Jinjin, her twin sister, and Zhong Shuwen, a man she was supposed to elope with. By overhearing their conversation, she learns she has entered the world of a novel titled "The Fair-Skinned Rich Beauty of the Seventies." In the original story, the naive Lin Yuqing was manipulated by her jealous twin and Zhong Shuwen into running away from her arranged marriage to Gu Chenzhou, a battalion commander. This scandal led to her eventual exile, death in a rural village, and the suicide of her grieving husband, while Su Jinjin stole her life and prospered.

Realizing she is on the night of the original tragedy, Lin Yuqing refuses to follow the scripted path. When Zhong Shuwen enters her room to consummate the plan, she slaps him and Su Jinjin, then loudly cries about being rescued, creating a public scene that forces the couple to abort their immediate scheme. She then shifts tactics, demanding a substantial dowry from her adoptive father, Su Yong, and stepmother, Yang Lan. She extracts five thousand yuan and her mother’s jade bracelet, which she discovers is the key to activating a spatial dimension inherited from her biological mother, Lin Yinyin. Inside this space, she finds not only fertile land and spiritual water but also her entire modern pharmaceutical laboratory, complete with experimental drugs and her mother’s research notes on agricultural chemicals.

Lin Yuqing uses her new resources to turn the tables on her abusers. She drugs the Su family with potent sleeping pills and raids Su Yong’s study, stealing back stolen property, including cash, jewelry, and incriminating evidence of his illegal trade in precursor chemicals. The next morning, she stages a fake robbery to cover her tracks. She then visits the Zhong family, where she humiliates Zhong Shuwen by forcing him to write multiple versions of a love letter and a self-criticism confession. When his mother insults her, Lin Yuqing uses an experimental mushroom spray to induce temporary psychosis, causing the woman to have a public breakdown.

Meanwhile, the Lin family, led by Commander Lin and his three sons, searches desperately for the missing girl. Gu Chenzhou, her fiancé, also joins the search, haunted by a prophetic dream of her tragic fate. He vows to protect her regardless of the outcome. Lin Yuqing returns to the Su apartment, retrieves more stolen items from her stepfamily, and waits for the police. Her actions demonstrate a complete reversal of her original passive character, as she systematically dismantles the schemes of those who sought to destroy her, setting the stage for a confrontation with the truth about her parentage and a reclamation of her destiny.
