This time, reborn in the seventies, I'm becoming the legendary Niohuru Qinghuan!

Ji Qinghuan returns to the real world after completing ten lifetimes of merit accumulation guided by a System. She is reborn into the Ji family in 1970s China, an adopted outsider whose father died in war and mother passed away after childbirth. The Ji family, led by her grandmother, appears to favor her, but internal tensions exist. Her cousin, Ji Menghuan, is revealed to be a transmigrator from a previous timeline who stole Qinghuan's identity in a past life to avoid going to the countryside, leading to Qinghuan's death. In this new life, Qinghuan retains memories of her ten past lives and possesses storage rings filled with goods from a cultivation world.

Upon returning, Qinghuan discovers the family's true nature. The Elder Aunt and Second Aunt scheme to send Qinghuan to the countryside instead of their own daughters. Qinghuan, having experienced ten lifetimes of hardship and service, is indifferent to the family's politics and welcomes the opportunity to leave. She secretly visits the black market, using her storage rings to sell high-quality grain and other goods for cash and ration coupons. She also retrieves hidden high school textbooks from a sympathetic teacher, preparing for her future studies.

Qinghuan takes decisive action by registering Ji Menghuan's name for the countryside assignment, ensuring her cousin faces the fate she tried to avoid. She also arranges for her own assignment to the Great Northwest, specifically Heilongjiang Province, which she knows from her past life is rich in resources. Before departing, she gives her grandmother medicinal candies disguised as sweets to protect her health. She packs her belongings, hiding the valuable items in her storage rings, and prepares to leave the hostile family environment.

On the day of departure, Qinghuan receives a banner for her family's "ideological advancement" and departs for the train station. During the journey, she encounters other educated youths, including Su Xiaoyu, who is also a transmigrator with a System. Su Xiaoyu reveals through her inner thoughts that Qinghuan is a minor character, or "cannon fodder," in a novel. The original plot involved Qinghuan being killed at the train station when her luggage was snatched, but Qinghuan's actions have altered the timeline. Su Xiaoyu's mission is to take revenge on the novel's female protagonist, Huang Yiyi, who stole her college entrance exam spot and ruined her life in the original story.

Qinghuan learns that Huang Yiyi is a reborn character who stole the space jade from Qinghuan's family to build her business empire. Qinghuan realizes she holds the true space jade, which activates upon her blood touching it, granting her access to a spiritual manor with storage capabilities and a time-dilated environment. This space allows her to store goods and prepare for her new life in the countryside. She continues to trade at the black market in Harbin, exchanging watches and other goods for cash and coupons, amassing significant wealth.

As Qinghuan travels to Heilongjiang, she maintains a low profile while preparing for the challenges ahead. She befriends Su Xiaoyu, who shares her knowledge of the novel's plot. The two women arrive at the Li Family Brigade, where Qinghuan begins to establish herself. She uses her knowledge from past lives and her storage space to navigate the difficulties of rural life, securing food and resources while avoiding the pitfalls that befell others. Her goal is to live a quiet, prosperous life, far from the toxic family dynamics of her past and the manipulative schemes of the novel's original characters.
