【Spoiler Alert: Besides the female lead, there's one character who's reincarnated, and another who's time-traveled. However, their roles are secondary and they don't get much screen time. They're mostly there to advance the plot. I should have mentioned this earlier, as after writing half a million words, I realized some readers gave this a low rating because of this setup. For those who may not like it, please feel free to skip. I understand it can be annoying, and I too am a bit annoyed.】
"Bang, bang, bang…" A round of hurried knocks on the door broke the silence, pulling Lin Jingyue from her deep sleep. Her eyebrows knitted together, the displeasure clearly visible on her furrowed forehead due to the disturbance.
She yanked the quilt over her head, intending to continue sleeping, when the knocking and a voice followed, "Jingyue, Lin Jingyue, wake up! Open the door!"
The person knocking seemed hell-bent on not leaving without getting the door opened.
All the noise made it impossible for Lin Jingyue to fall back to sleep. She shot up in her bed, ready to hurl abuses at the person, but her words came to an abrupt curve, "Damn it!"
She had remembered, she had time-traveled!
Back in her original world, she was a white, rich, and pretty girl of the 21st century who led an aimlessly comfortable life, and had enough money that even generations could not spend it all.
Her parents had initially married because of a business alliance. After both the elders passed away, they quickly divorced and formed new families, leaving Lin Jingyue an unwanted 'poor little thing.'
Eventually, she lived alone. Save for the regular inflow of pocket money, her parents had also transferred the inheritance she received from her grandparents.
After graduating from college, Lin Jingyue had essentially given up on living a meaningful life.
She lacked any life goals, finding her carefree life pretty satisfying. Hence, she didn't work and spent her days binging TV shows, reading novels, shopping, donating to charity when bored.
As fate would have it, during a trip to her personal farm in the suburbs out of boredom, she slipped and fell face-first into a field. When she woke up, she had become the Lin Jingyue of the 1970s.
"Lin Jingyue, if you don't open up, I am barging in!" The person outside continued to holler with slightly faltering determination.
Clearly, they didn’t dare to actually break in.
Lin Jingyue rolled her eyes, paused her contemplation, ran her hand through her hair, and got up to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Lin Jing Yue was met with a pair of furious eyes. Lazily, she asked, "What's up? You're disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning."
"Early morning?!" The man widened his eyes in disbelief.
Lin Jing Yue glanced out the window at the already risen sun.
"Speak your matter."
"Is that your attitude towards your father?!" the man ground his teeth in anger, wishing he could slap her.
Yet he dared not. This damned lass was like a firecracker just waiting to explode. If he sparked it off, everyone would hear it.
"If you weren't my father, you wouldn't be standing here right now." Lin Jing Yue's eyes held deep meaning as she looked at him.
This was the original owner of her body's father, who had been held in check entirely by his very daughter.
Taking advantage of her overpowering strength, the original owner acted like an unbridled tyrant at home. Anyone who dared to go against her would face her violent retaliation.
Everyone in the house had been disciplined by her.
After absorbing the original body's memories, Lin Jing Yue understood that the original owner couldn't be blamed for her behavior.
The original owner lost her mother when she was young. Her maternal grandparents acted indifferent towards her, and even her father was no good. Only three months after her mother's death, he eagerly welcomed a new woman into his home.
That woman even brought two children along, a pair of dragon-phoenix twins.
People from outside didn't know, but Lin Jing Yue was clear- these two kids were her father's blood-and-flesh children.
Great, now that they had become one family, Lin Jing Yue, who was already disregarded before, had now become 'the poor little girl'.
"Anyone can step on me twice."
At first, Lin Jingyue did not dare to retaliate much, until one time when she was beaten up by the dragon-phoenix twins for two hours, and then left starving on the balcony for three days. When she was at the brink of death, she finally had an epiphany: better to live shamelessly than die honorably. From then on, if anyone treated her harshly, she would return the favor twice fold.
Since then, the Lin household began to be in chaotic state.
In the beginning, Lin Jingyue was at a disadvantage often ending in mutual harm, but as she grew up and became stronger, no one in the household could be a match for her.
Having been frightened by her, they began to behave.
Lin's father glanced at Lin Jingyue, whose face was changing constantly. "...You've gone too far this time. You pushed Rou Rou into the river. She almost lost her life and is still in the hospital. My paycheck has not arrived yet. Can you give some money? The hospital bill is still short."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin's father glared at Lin Jingyue.
Lin Jingyue scoffed, "I have no money. Find someone else."
Having said that, she slammed the door shut again.
Lin's father, who was almost hit by the door: "......"
Since Lin Jingyue was unwilling to give money, he could only leave while cursing.
Lin Jingyue sat on the bed and sneered. Did they think she would believe there is no money at home?
She sat on the bed, laughing coldly. Both her and Lin Xinrou fell into the river yesterday, however it was not a push, but Lin Xinrou jumped in and deliberately pulled her in with her.
Lin Xinrou could swim and naturally, was not scared.
However, her - the 'landlubber', choked on quite a lot of water. Thankfully, she managed to take over in time and with great difficulty climbed out of the river.
Looking at the calm river, she ignored Lin Xinrou, went home, poured a bowl of ginger soup, and slept until now.
Rubbing her forehead, Lin Jingyue sighed.
In this decade of the 70s, marked by poverty and scarcity, how could she, who had been used to a comfortable life, cope?
Lying down for a while, she resigned herself to sitting up, prepared to go out to find something to eat. The next moment, her head spun and she disappeared from the room.
Looking around the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Jingyue widened her eyes, belatedly realizing what had happened!
"Holy shit, the god was not lying to me, I also have a space!"
She excitedly observed her new environment.
Eh? This space feels familiar. Isn't this the warehouse of her family's farm?
Lin Jingyue rushed over to push open the large door of the warehouse and sure enough, it was her family's warehouse.
And it was packed with grain.
This farm was privately owned by her, not only planted with rice and wheat, but there were also a lot of fruits and animals like pigs, sheep, cattle, and chickens. The warehouse was filled with rice and wheat that had been harvested this year. The grains were all dehulled, and the wheat had been ground into flour.
There were about eighty thousand catties of rice, and an approximately equal amount of wheat.
The farm was not large, just eighty mu of fields, and a season's yield was about this much.
Lin Jingyue also went to check the orchard and the animal pens by the side, all still intact, she excitedly surveyed her land.
Unlike the farm, the amount of land in her space had decreased, only about two mu in front of the warehouse.
Nothing had been planted above, and next to it was a well, reminding her of the spiritual spring mentioned in novels.
Lin Jingyue quickly rushed over.
Reaching the edge of the well, the knowledge emerged in her mind. This was not a life-giving spiritual spring that could rejuvenate one's body, but long-term consumption could strengthen the body, beautify, and rejuvenate the skin.
Better than nothing at all, one must learn to be content. Lin Jingyue left the space contentedly.
She opened the door, went out to wash her face, then searched the kitchen for something to eat.
The cabinet was locked, but she didn't mind. With a slight exertion, she unlocked the lock.
Strength beyond measure was indeed awesome!
There wasn't much inside. Probably to prevent her from doing this, there was merely two pounds of white flour, two pounds of rice, no meat, five eggs, and a few condiments.
Lin Jingyue didn't mind, she quickly made herself a bowl of dumpling soup, adding two eggs.
Before taking the pot off the fire, she added a couple drops of sesame oil, releasing an instant aroma.
Lin Jingyue enjoyed her meal, happily holding the bowl.
Just after eating, she heard someone approaching.
The house was allocated by the factory, a two-bedroom, one-living room, tube-shaped apartment. The sound insulation was far from good.
【This is my first time posting on Tomato, and I was very nervous after posting my piece. I hope to receive everyone's support here.
Under my pen, the female protagonist will never suffer, and neither will the male protagonist, they both are strong characters. Life is already tiring, reading novels is a way to relax, so the main focus is on the thrill. I'll try to make it logical as possible, though I cannot fully guarantee as I am an average writer, haha!
Also, the female protagonist can only guarantee basic values. Don't expect her to be all heart and soul, that's impossible.
If you don't like what you've read, I accept constructive suggestions. For those who are just randomly spewing nonsense, kindly refrain. If fate decides, we will see each other again in the martial world. Let's meet in the next book, or check out the other books in the library. With so many books, you're bound to find one you like.
Alright, that's it for my rambling, thank you all for the warm welcome.】
