Transmigrated into the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Cannon Fodder Girl

Shen Chuyan, a twenty-eight-year-old woman who died from overwork after paying off debts incurred by a scumbag partner, transmigrates into the body of Shen Erni, a fourteen-year-old cannon fodder character in a 1970s rural family. The original Shen Erni was neglected, abused, and eventually sent to the countryside, where she suffered and died unjustly. Upon waking in a cramped kitchen that served as her bedroom, Shen Chuyan discovers she has inherited a magical supermarket space accessible through a silver tail ring she wore in her previous life. This space contains endless supplies of food, modern clothing, and household items, providing her with a crucial advantage in the scarce economic environment of the era.

The core conflict arises from Shen Chuyan's hostile family dynamics. Her mother, Zhang Meihong, is biased and cruel, favoring the eldest son and the beautiful, manipulative second daughter, Shen Fangfang, while treating Shen Erni as a servant. Shen Fangfang is lazy, selfish, and has already stolen Shen Erni's identity and subsidies in the original timeline. Shen Chuyan resolves to change her fate and protect the original owner's legacy. She discovers that Shen Fangfang is scheming to seduce a man named Zhang Peng to avoid being sent to the countryside, a plan that would ultimately lead to Shen Fangfang's abuse and divorce in the original story.

Shen Chuyan takes decisive action by secretly registering herself for the countryside assignment instead of Shen Fangfang. She requests to be sent to Heilongjiang, a northern province with harsh winters but also opportunities for rest and resource gathering, rather than the southern regions where the original character suffered. Using her supermarket space, she picks the lock of her parents' room and steals a significant amount of cash and ration coupons. She then visits the black market, disguising herself as a young man to sell rice from her space, earning her first capital. She establishes a connection with a black market boss, Brother Sheng, allowing her to make larger, more profitable transactions while maintaining her anonymity.

As her departure date approaches, Shen Chuyan systematically strips Shen Fangfang of her resources. She forces her sister to provide clothes and supplies for the trip, looting her wardrobe in the process. Shen Fangfang, unaware that Shen Chuyan is the one leaving, continues her romantic entanglement with Zhang Peng, who is already involved with other women and plans to discard her. Meanwhile, Shen Chuyan uses her earnings to buy essential items from state-run cooperatives, forming a alliance with a sympathetic saleswoman named He Pandi. She also explores a recycling station, where she discovers hidden gold and valuable historical documents, further enriching herself.

The story moves toward Shen Chuyan's departure, with her preparing for the harsh conditions of the countryside using her modern knowledge and supernatural supplies. She contrasts her proactive, strategic approach with the passive suffering of the original character. The narrative highlights the stark inequalities within the family and the broader society, as Shen Chuyan navigates the complex social dynamics of the 1970s. Her actions disrupt the original plot, as Shen Fangfang remains in the city, unaware that her sister has taken her place in the relocation. Shen Chuyan's journey is one of survival and empowerment, leveraging her unique abilities to secure a better future while outmaneuvering her exploitative family.
