Transmigrated Into a Novel: The Delicate Wife of the 1970s Has a Space

Jiang Yiyi, a twenty-seven-year-old livestreamer and writer, possessed a mysterious spatial storage ability that manifested after she recovered from a fever-induced autism in her youth. Anticipating an apocalypse based on novels she had read, she liquidated her assets, sold her apartment, and spent millions of yuan stockpiling food, water, daily necessities, and weapons within her dimension. On the eve of her twenty-seventh birthday, she fell ill with a fever again and transmigrated into the body of a mute girl with the same name in 1970s rural China.

She awoke in the home of the Xia family in the Hongqi Commune. The original host had arrived at the production team with a high fever and was cared for by Xia Liu, the daughter of the team leader. Jiang Yiyi quickly realized she had transmigrated into the world of a novel titled Rebirth: The Educated Youth’s Little Sweetheart. In the story, the female lead, Wang Qian, was reborn and had stolen the original Jiang Yiyi’s identity to go to the countryside, leaving the original host to die. Jiang Yiyi recovered her ability to speak and immediately confronted Wang Qian, demanding the return of her grandfather’s compensation money and ration coupons that Wang Qian had misappropriated.

With the support of the kind Xia family, Jiang Yiyi secured an empty courtyard to live in. She began integrating into village life, working in the fields and navigating the social dynamics of the commune. She discovered that the Xia family was warm and genuine, contrasting sharply with the scheming portrayal of them in the novel. She also encountered Huo Cheng, her tall and handsome neighbor, who initially seemed cold but gradually showed interest in her. Meanwhile, Wang Qian plotted revenge, resentful that Jiang Yiyi had ruined her plans to manipulate the male lead, Fang Weiguo.

Jiang Yiyi utilized her spatial storage to engage in black market trade, selling surplus food and cotton to earn money and acquire essential goods like kitchenware and antiques. She also helped Qiu Ziming, a poor boy living with his dying grandmother, by trading grain for his family’s antique dishes and providing milk powder to improve the old woman’s health. Her actions earned her the gratitude of the local villagers and the suspicion of Wang Qian.

The plot thickened with the arrival of new educated youths, including Ding Zhixin, the scumbag from the original novel who had betrayed Wang Qian in her previous life. Wang Qian attempted to rekindle a relationship with him, but Jiang Yiyi exposed his true nature, causing Ding Zhixin to flee. Jiang Yiyi also received a letter from Fang Weiguo, her fiancé in the original story, who planned to transfer to a civilian job near her to care for her. She wrote back declining his offer, determined to live independently.

As winter approached, Jiang Yiyi prepared for the cold season by storing firewood and building a cellar. She continued to build relationships with her neighbors, particularly the Huo siblings, and maintained a low profile while secretly accumulating resources. The story follows her efforts to survive and thrive in this new era, using her future knowledge and spatial abilities to navigate political intrigue, social challenges, and personal relationships while avoiding the fate prescribed by the original novel.
