Transmigrated into the '70s as a Delicate Beauty

Wen Qinghe was a wealthy heiress who lost her grandfather and only family member shortly after finishing college. To avoid attracting opportunists, she concealed her immense fortune during her three years at Beijing University, living a modest life and dating Mu Anche, a finance student who appeared gentle and devoted. However, she discovered him kissing a middle-aged woman and learned he had been using her for her money while secretly planning to marry a richer woman. When she confronted him, he revealed his true colors, calling her vain for hiding her wealth while expecting him to support her. She broke up with him and left in a Rolls-Royce, shocking him as he realized he had lost a billionaire heiress. Heartbroken and drinking alone, she fell into a deep sleep and transmigrated into the body of another Wen Qinghe in 1975, a sickly girl being sent down to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution.

The original owner of the body had died from congenital heart disease on the way to the Hongxing Brigade. Wen Qinghe found herself in a crowded train carriage, surrounded by refugees heading to rural labor camps. She met Liu Meihua, another educated youth, and learned she was in 1975. Upon arriving at the brigade, she was assigned to live in a dilapidated dormitory with other educated youths. Due to her frail health, she was given lighter work weeding a small plot of land. Yan Xiao, a tall, dark-skinned, and fierce-looking village man known for hunting wolves, was assigned to help her. Despite his intimidating appearance, he was gentle and protective, doing her weeding work while she rested and bringing her wild blueberries and other fruits from the mountains.

Wen Qinghe discovered she had a spatial ability linked to a mole on her finger. She could enter a white void containing a giant hourglass, where time seemed to stand still and food could be preserved. Over time, the space began to show signs of growth, with a tree appearing after absorbing moonlight. She also found that the original owner's soul had transferred into her, asking her to live freely and make her father happy. Wen Qinghe learned that the original owner's father was a professor sent to a labor farm, grieving his daughter's death. She decided to live well in this new life, using her spatial ability to store food and improve her health.

As she settled into rural life, Wen Qinghe relied on Yan Xiao's help for physical labor while she managed the household and cooking. Tang Lingling, a senior educated youth, took pity on her and helped her learn to cook, while also ensuring the others did not burden Wen Qinghe with chores. The educated youths began bringing her meat and fish from Yan Xiao's hunts, improving their diet and their attitude toward her. Wen Qinghe paid Yan Xiao for his help, but he insisted on doing more than his share, driven by a growing protectiveness and affection for her.

Yan Xiao sought out an old traditional doctor to treat Wen Qinghe's heart condition, offering his life savings and searching the mountains for century-old ginseng. After weeks of searching, he found a hundred-year ginseng root and convinced the reclusive doctor to visit the educated youth spot. However, upon his return, he found Wen Qinghe unconscious and in critical condition. The doctor examined her and determined that with proper treatment and the ginseng, her life could be extended significantly. Wen Qinghe's journey in this new era was just beginning, as she navigated the challenges of rural life, her health, and her growing relationship with Yan Xiao, while holding onto the hope of one day returning to her own time.

The story follows Wen Qinghe's adaptation to 1970s China, her reliance on Yan Xiao's strength and kindness, and her discovery of the spatial ability that may help her survive and thrive. Her past betrayal by Mu Anche contrasts with Yan Xiao's genuine care, setting the stage for a romance built on mutual support. The spatial element provides her with a unique advantage in a time of scarcity, allowing her to preserve food and potentially heal her chronic illness. As she integrates into the Hongxing Brigade community, she balances her modern sensibilities with the harsh realities of the era, finding purpose in making the original owner's father proud and building a new life with Yan Xiao by her side.
