Transmigration to the 1980s: Spoiled by the Disabled Boss

Gu Jiaojiao, a top medical expert from the modern era, dies after overworking during a conference and transmigrates into the body of a fictional character in a rebirth novel. The original host shares her name and is a tragic cannon fodder: a fake daughter raised by the wealthy Sheng family for eighteen years before being exposed as an imposter. Humiliated and abandoned by her adoptive family, the original Gu Jiaojiao was forced to marry Su Shuoci, a half-paralyzed veteran known as the Wolf of the Army. Su Shuoci, bitter and depressed after his injury, is also a doomed character destined to die of grief shortly after his wife’s tragic death. Upon waking in this new body, Gu Jiaojiao finds herself in a shabby rural home in the 1980s, lying next to her angry, disabled husband. Unlike the original host, who was volatile and disrespectful, Gu Jiaojiao quickly adapts, recognizing the kindness of Su Shuoci’s parents and sister despite their poverty. She suppresses her past grievances and begins to integrate into the Su family, earning their trust through gentle behavior and domestic skills.

The core conflict arises from Gu Jiaojiao’s knowledge of the novel’s plot. She understands that the biological daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Xinglian, is a reborn antagonist who manipulated events to ruin the original Gu Jiaojiao’s life. Sheng Xinglian arrives at the Su household with her mother, attempting to manipulate the situation and extract resources from the desperate family. Gu Jiaojiao counters these schemes by revealing that she has already given her savings to Sheng Xinglian and intends to repay her adoptive family for their past support, effectively neutralizing the biological daughter’s attempts to gain sympathy and money. Meanwhile, Gu Jiaojiao discovers a critical advantage: the heart-shaped gemstone pendant she carried is actually a portal to a massive medical space filled with advanced equipment and supplies from her previous life. This space allows her to provide superior medical care and abundant food, resources that are scarce in this era.

A key turning point occurs when Gu Jiaojiao reveals her ability to produce food from the pendant to Su Shuoci. She uses her medical expertise to treat his paralysis, administering acupuncture and preparing to use advanced equipment from her space. Su Shuoci, initially hostile and resigned to his fate, begins to trust her as she demonstrates competence and care. Their relationship shifts from one of mutual resentment to a partnership based on secrecy and growing affection. Gu Jiaojiao also confronts the neighborhood women who gossip about her, asserting her authority and protecting her new family’s dignity. The Sheng family, particularly the second and third sons, begin to regret their harsh treatment of her as they realize the extent of her sacrifices and the manipulation by Sheng Xinglian.

The story direction follows Gu Jiaojiao’s efforts to rebuild her life and save Su Shuoci from his tragic fate. She plans to use her medical space to cure his paralysis, improve the Su family’s living standards, and expose the true nature of Sheng Xinglian’s schemes. As she navigates the social dynamics of the military compound, she faces challenges from jealous neighbors and the lingering influence of the Sheng family. Her professional skills and the resources from her space position her to rise above her circumstances, transforming from a despised cannon fodder into a powerful figure who controls her own destiny. The narrative focuses on her strategic interactions with both the Su and Sheng families, highlighting her determination to rewrite the tragic ending prescribed by the novel.
