Severing Ties with Family and Sent to the Countryside! Pampered by Beijing’s Elite Officials

Su Qing was reborn twenty-three years after her tragic death. In her previous life, she was coerced by her stepmother Zhao Jinhua and stepsister Su Zhirou into signing a document that sent her to a rural commune. There, she suffered for three years, lost her university placement, and was ultimately murdered in a staged traffic accident to silence her. Upon waking, Su Qing finds herself back at the moment of signing. Instead of submitting, she demands a formal severance of kinship, cutting all ties with the Su family. The family, eager to be rid of her, agrees immediately. Su Qing then utilizes a mysterious spiritual space inherited from a jade pendant, which contains vast supplies of food, medicine, and currency. She systematically empties the Su household of all valuable assets, including hidden gold bars and personal belongings, leaving the family with nothing before departing for the countryside.

During her train journey to Hongqi Commune, Su Qing encounters Lu Zhanye, a regiment commander suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic migraines. She discovers that her spiritual spring water has a calming effect on his condition. When the train brakes suddenly, Lu Zhanye instinctively grabs her to prevent her from falling, and he clings to her presence to stave off his pain. Upon arrival at the commune, Su Qing faces hostility from the station head, Ma Hongmei, who assigns her the worst living quarters. Su Qing retaliates by using a powder that causes intense itching on Ma Hongmei’s bedding, then cures her with herbal medicine, quickly shifting the social dynamic in her favor. She also begins treating villagers with her advanced medical skills, gaining respect and authority.

Lu Zhanye arrives at the commune for an inspection and recognizes Su Qing. He learns she is being bullied and intervenes, publicly declaring her as a special medical consultant under the military region’s protection. He physically assaults a local thug, Zhao Goudan, who had attempted to harass Su Qing, and establishes her safety as his priority. Their relationship deepens as Lu Zhanye becomes increasingly dependent on Su Qing’s presence to manage his PTSD. He frequently summons her to the military clinic, where he holds her close to find relief from his agony. Su Qing views this as a mutually beneficial arrangement, using his protection to secure her position while providing him with the spiritual water he needs.

Su Qing also discovers that the local village elder, Shen Henian, is the exiled nation’s greatest physician. Recognizing her mastery of lost acupuncture techniques, he requests to take her as a disciple. She agrees, forming a partnership where she teaches him ancient methods in exchange for his clinical experience. Meanwhile, Su Qing begins selling surplus goods from her spiritual space at a black market, accumulating significant wealth. Her life stabilizes as she builds a network of allies and gains financial independence. However, a madwoman in the village claims that a baby was swapped twenty years ago and points out a red mole on Su Qing’s collarbone, hinting at a hidden truth about her origins that connects to her past life’s mysteries.

The narrative follows Su Qing as she navigates the harsh realities of the sent-down youth era with the advantages of her rebirth and supernatural space. She systematically dismantles the power of her former abusers by thriving in an environment designed to break her. Her alliance with Lu Zhanye evolves from a transactional relationship based on his medical needs to a deeper emotional bond, complicated by his existing engagement to another woman in Beijing. Su Qing’s primary goal remains self-preservation and the accumulation of power, using her medical skills and spiritual resources to rise above her circumstances. The story sets the stage for her eventual return to the city, armed with wealth, status, and the protection of a powerful military commander, as she seeks to uncover the secrets of her birth and exact revenge on those who wronged her.
