Transmigrating to the Seventies: A Sent-down Youth Finds Love

Su Mi was a top surgeon who survived a global zombie apocalypse, only to be killed when her research base was destroyed by a missile. She had spent nearly three years developing a cure before her death. Upon regaining consciousness, she found herself transmigrated into the body of a twenty-year-old woman with the same name, traveling by train to the countryside in 1972. This new body belonged to a character in a novel titled Military Wife: The Precious One, where the original owner’s reckless decision to leave home without warning led to a chain of tragedies. Her mother died while searching for her, her father died of grief, her eldest brother was killed in action, and her second brother died in obscurity. Su Mi retained her Dimensional Space, a supernatural ability from her previous life that contained vast supplies, a medical laboratory, and a medicinal herb field.

Upon arriving at Niujia Village in Northeast Province, Su Mi immediately distanced herself from the original plot. She knew the female protagonist of the novel, Bai Qianqian, would arrive with three devoted admirers, and Su Mi chose to avoid entanglement with them. Instead, she focused on securing her own safety and comfort. She rented a dilapidated house on the village outskirts, paying ten years of rent in advance to avoid future disputes. The house was significant because, in the original story, the female protagonist had discovered chests of gold and jewelry buried beneath it. Su Mi used her psychic abilities to locate and retrieve these treasures before anyone else could find them, securing a substantial amount of wealth for her future.

Recognizing the dangers of the countryside, Su Mi worked to establish a legitimate role for herself. She approached the village chief, Niu Dakui, and offered her medical skills to the community. She claimed to be trained in traditional Chinese medicine by her grandfather and offered to treat minor ailments. The village lacked a doctor, so the chief agreed to her proposal. Su Mi negotiated a contract that allowed her to gather medicinal herbs and eventually earn work points as a barefoot doctor, sparing her from the most grueling field labor. She also used her space to acquire anti-lice powder and other necessities, gaining the trust of the village chief’s family.

Inside her Dimensional Space, Su Mi underwent a rigorous process to regain her supernatural abilities. Using golden needles and energy cores from zombies in her previous life, she developed two new powers: a Plant-type ability and a Psychic-type ability. The Plant ability allowed her to accelerate the growth of crops and herbs, ensuring a steady supply of food and medicine. The Psychic ability provided her with heightened perception, allowing her to sense danger and read intentions, which was crucial for her survival in a new and potentially hostile environment. She also utilized Spatial Spring Water to enhance her physical constitution, making her body stronger and more resilient than the original host.

As she settled into her new life, Su Mi maintained a low profile while preparing for the future. She attended to her daily routines, gathering herbs and managing her household, all while keeping a careful distance from the female protagonist and her admirers. She observed Bai Qianqian’s interactions with her three followers, noting their obsessive and often inappropriate behavior. Su Mi remained indifferent to the drama, focusing instead on building a comfortable and secure existence for herself. She planned to use her medical skills and supernatural abilities to navigate the challenges of the era, ensuring she would not suffer the same fate as the original character. Her goal was to live a quiet, peaceful life, free from the tragedies that had befallen her predecessor’s family.

The story follows Su Mi as she adapts to life in 1970s China, leveraging her future knowledge and supernatural gifts to avoid the pitfalls of the original plot. She balances her new identity as a countryside educated youth with her true self as a survivor of the apocalypse. By securing her financial future through hidden treasures and establishing her value to the village through medicine, she creates a buffer against the uncertainties of the time. Her journey is one of careful navigation, where every action is calculated to ensure her survival and well-being in a world that is both unfamiliar and dangerous.
