“Ruan Liuzheng, you shameless seductress.”
“My brother is already gone. Don’t think anyone is still here to protect you. Get out of my house.”
“Stop pretending to be dead. Get up.”
Ruan Liuzheng’s head was buzzing.
When she opened her eyes, her mind still hadn’t fully reacted before she was startled by the malice in the other person’s gaze.
Her head hurt so much.
Was she still alive? How?
A wave of stabbing pain hit her, as if her brain was about to explode.
Ruan Liuzheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She… had actually already been transmigrated into this era for five years?
And on her first day of transmigration, she had a high fever and lost her memory completely.
After that, she became a so-called “native adopted daughter” of the Shen family, without parents of her own.
Ruan Liuzheng was the orphan of a martyr, originally from Huishi. She had moved with her father to Ning City due to his military service.
Her father had sacrificed his life saving Shen Aiguo.
After her father’s death, her mother remarried, and she was sent back to her hometown.
To preserve his career and reputation, Shen Aiguo had no choice but to bring Ruan Liuzheng back from Huishi to be raised in Ning City.
The Shen family originally had two children—Shen Que and Shen Rongrong.
On the surface, Shen’s parents treated her fairly well, but privately they were very cold toward her, essentially ignoring her existence.
Their daughter, Shen Rongrong, especially disliked Ruan Liuzheng’s soft, alluring appearance and was intensely jealous of her. She often caused her trouble and spread rumors about her outside. Shen’s mother knew some of it but never stopped her.
As for Shen Que and her, due to special circumstances, they had been secretly involved in a hidden relationship.
Yesterday, before leaving home, Shen Que secretly told Ruan Liuzheng that after completing this mission, he would come back and openly propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rongrong overheard this.
She then used it to threaten Ruan Liuzheng into giving up her job to her.
Of course, Ruan Liuzheng refused.
In a rage, Shen Rongrong pushed her down, causing her head to hit the corner of a table.
When she woke up, she remembered everything.
Her transmigration came with a mission—to win over a man named Xie Jinghuai.
At this moment, there were only 59 days and 18 hours left to complete the mission.
If she failed, there would only be one outcome.
Repeating the same death she had in her previous life.
In her original world, she had lived in the 21st century and died from an incurable illness, suffering greatly.
Even as a doctor herself, she had no way to save her own life.
In the end, resentment changed nothing.
She never expected that after transmigrating, she would even lose her memory.
But this was 1973—an era where even immoral behavior could cost one’s life, and absolute loyalty in revolutionary relationships was demanded.
Now she was supposed to leave one man and pursue another.
Ruan Liuzheng felt as if her entire worldview was shaking.
Ahhh!
Was this some kind of self-destruction plan?
She truly felt like she was going crazy.
But waiting for death was absolutely not an option.
Before transmigration, she had died from illness, so no one understood better than her the value of life.
Don’t talk to her about morals—morality meant nothing compared to life.
Having experienced despair, she now craved life even more.
Lying down and waiting to die was absolutely impossible!
Ruan Liuzheng immediately decided—she would go and win over Xie Jinghuai.
The moment she formed this thought, she somehow knew Xie Jinghuai’s location.
He was in Jinshan Commune, under Heihe Region of Heilong Province.
She was in Ning City, and in this era, there was only one way to get there.
Go down to the countryside.
At this point, Ruan Liuzheng gritted her teeth.
Fine—she’d do it!
But right now…
Shen Rongrong’s harsh and vicious curses were still continuing.
And when she opened her eyes, the other girl was still staring at her in a daze.
She became even more certain that Ruan Liuzheng was pretending.
She lunged at her directly.
Grabbing her hair hard, nearly ripping her scalp off.
“You bitch! Our family has raised you for so long, what’s wrong with you giving me your job?”
Ruan Liuzheng endured the pain on her head and grabbed Shen Rongrong’s hair in return.
At the same time, she lifted her knee and狠狠 slammed it into her stomach.
“Ahhh——!”
Shen Rongrong cried out in pain and let go.
Ruan Liuzheng immediately picked up a stool and struck her right leg.
“Ah, it hurts! Ruan Liuzheng, are you crazy?! Let go of me!”
Blood dripped from her forehead, sliding down past her eyes and onto her clothes.
Shen Rongrong was shocked by the sight.
“You little bitch, let go of me! My mother won’t spare you when she comes back!”
Ruan Liuzheng shoved her forcefully to the ground.
Shen Rongrong’s head hit the floor with a dull “thud.”
Unfortunately, it didn’t break the skin.
Ruan Liuzheng looked at her coldly.
“Shen Rongrong, if I tell your brother, what do you think will happen to you?”
Shen Rongrong’s pupils contracted violently. “You… bitch…”
But she knew very well—her brother would definitely beat her to death.
Ruan Liuzheng’s heart was as cold as ice as she glanced at Shen Rongrong.
Then she left.
She still needed to sell her job first and handle her registration for going down to the countryside.
She couldn’t cause trouble.
Otherwise, the Shen family would never allow her to do this.
After all, she was a stepping stone for Shen Aiguo’s future.
Ruan Liuzheng’s face was covered in blood.
She could only find a secluded place, enter her spatial space, and disinfect and bandage her wounds.
Looking at herself in the mirror—skin as white as snow, so delicate it seemed like milk could be squeezed out; lips like cherries; watery, glistening almond eyes—
Every frown and smile made her look less like a mortal woman and more like a breathtaking fairy from a storybook.
She chuckled softly, “Still better like this.”
Her naturally soft, sweet voice made even ordinary speech sound like she was acting spoiled, making anyone who heard it feel weak in the knees.
There was only one word to describe her—seductive.
After leaving the space, she immediately went to the cotton textile factory to sell her job.
The factory director, Qi Zhengtong, was a childhood friend of Ruan Liuzheng’s mother. Back then, her mother had entrusted her job matters to him.
Hearing about Ruan Liuzheng’s situation, he agreed without hesitation to handle everything.
After that, she went to the street office again to register for going down to the countryside.
Just as she arrived, she saw a familiar figure.
Shen Rongrong walked out of the “Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Registration Office” with a triumphant, scheming smile.
Ruan Liuzheng’s gaze froze slightly.
Her eyes rolled slightly.
She held her head, swaying unsteadily as she walked into the office.
“Comrade, who are you looking for?” the staff member asked.
Ruan Liuzheng looked at the kind-faced man in front of her with teary eyes.
“Comrade, hello… did you see my sister?”
“She was wearing a floral plaid skirt, long hair, and had slightly upturned eyes.”
She clutched her stomach awkwardly.
“My stomach hurt just now, so she came to register first. I looked everywhere but couldn’t find her.”
The staff member looked a bit strange.
“The one who just registered… is your sister? What’s her name?”
Ruan Liuzheng weakly replied, “My name is Shen Rongrong, and my sister is Ruan Liuzheng.”
The staff member nodded. “Yes, that’s right. The one who just registered for going to the countryside is Ruan Liuzheng.”
“You also want to go?”
Ruan Liuzheng sneered inwardly.
“Yes, comrade. We respond to the Chairman’s call and dedicate ourselves to rural construction. I am registering to go down to the countryside.”
“Moreover, I’m applying to go plant trees in the desert. I will definitely turn it into a vast green oasis and contribute to our motherland!”
