"Miss, Miss, wake up!"

Shen Yan was roused from her drowsy state by someone calling her.

She squinted her eyes to adjust to the light, and what met her gaze was a rusty ceiling.

Not only was the ceiling swaying, but she was also rocking with it.

Was she... on a ship?

Through the cabin window, the sun shone brightly outside, and Shen Yan stared blankly at the sparkling blue ocean.

"Miss, the ship will be docking soon. You should start packing and get ready to disembark," the person next to her spoke again.

Disembark?

Where to disembark?

Just as Shen Yan wanted to inquire further, a stabbing pain spread across her brain.

A fraction of unfamiliar memory flooded into her mind.

It was then that Shen Yan realized she had transmigrated.

Not only had she reached the resource-scarce 1970s, but she had also become the stupid and evil fake heiress from the book.

The original host shared her name, also called Shen Yan.

The father is a university teacher, and the mother works as an editor in a newspaper. In this era, they are bona fide members of the intellectual elite.

Being the only child of the family, the original host was spoiled beyond belief from a young age.

She even had an arranged marriage with the son of a printing factory owner, waiting only to come of age to get married.

However, on her eighteenth birthday, the actual heiress suddenly showed up at the door!

It turned out Shen Shuang'er, who was wrongly taken, had led a hard life in the countryside for almost twenty years. As soon as she heard she was the daughter of a city family, she immediately came to claim kinship.

The scene was indeed tearful and heart-wrenching.

On one side was the biological child who had been lost for many years, and on the other was the daughter they had raised for a lifetime. Both were impossible for Shen's father and mother to let go, making for a tough decision.

Finally, they decided to keep both, favoring neither.

Although the host was not their biological child, she could still stay in the Shen family. Shen Shuang'er, the real heiress, seemed to be fairly sensible and didn't stir up any trouble.

But all this was a sham!

In actuality, Shen Shuang'er was a gluttonous and insatiable being.

Back in the countryside, when she heard that a son from a neighboring family who joined the army was receiving a subsidy, she visited them daily, intent on marrying him.

Afraid of damaging their reputation, the neighboring family agreed to the marriage.

However, they later received news that the man was injured on the battlefield and was transferred to guard the border on an island.

Today, life has finally settled down.

The man had sent a letter demanding that Shen Shuang'er fulfill their engagement, asking her to live with him on an island.

Yet Shen Shuang'er had already started living the good life in the city. Why would she be willing to suffer on an island?

Not to mention, marrying an old man with a crippled leg and a ruined face!

However, both her father and mother were educated people. They didn't want Shen Shuang'er to break the engagement.

Hence, Shen Shuang'er came up with a crooked plan. She wanted the original owner to marry the man in her place.

She faked compliance on the surface but secretly colluded with the local thug, Big Brother Da Li, in the village.

Together, they knocked the original owner unconscious and directly threw her on a rickety ship headed for the desert island.

Thinking that once the ship reached the open sea, even if the original owner was unwilling, she would have no choice but to accept this match.

Such a vicious move!

When she crossed over, she was just in time for this drama.

Now, she was in the cabin of the ship heading to the island!

Shen Yan took a deep breath, slowly sitting up and thanked the person next to her.

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm awake now."

She considered herself incredibly unlucky.

Not only did she cross over, she even became an imposter.

Unfortunately, the troubles didn't stop there.

Not only was the original host an impostor, but she was also the destined pitiful character to be kicked out in this novel.

In this novel called "Rebirth: Good Times in the Seventies", she was the stepping stone trampled underfoot by the main characters.

The original host was arranged to marry into the island, naturally, she was completely unwilling towards this marriage.

After all, the conditions on the island were harsh, with a shortage of supplies. How could she, a pampered young lady who grew up in the city, endure it?

And her fiancé, Ji Mingfeng, although not as miserable as the real rich daughter said, was still a thirty-year-old man.

What's even worse was that he had adopted two children, a boy and a girl, from his comrades, treating them as his own.

As such, the moment the original host married over, she immediately became the stepmother of two burdens.

The original host grew up pampered, how could she take care of people, not to mention someone else's children.

Unfortunately, the original novel didn't go into detail about this period of her life, only briefly mentioning at the beginning: In the military dependent's courtyard, the original host was domineering and unreasonably enjoyed privileges, even abused the children, and was a downright wicked stepmother.

Destiny's jokes are always unexpected.

The original heroine died in a sudden typhoon, leaving Ji Mingfeng with the infamous title of a "wife destroyer".

Later, a rebirth heroine appeared in the story, who knew Ji Mingfeng would become a celebrated military district leader in the future.

Therefore, she tried every means possible to stick with Ji Mingfeng.

Somehow, she obtained a miraculous spiritual spring space from him. From then on, she had an upper hand, and led a life everyone envied.

The poor original protagonist fell into the sea, not even a whole corpse was left behind.

Shen Yan recalled these plots, mumbling to herself in her heart.

Isn't this starting point too tragic?

She connected the memories of the original protagonist with the novel's plots she had read before, and she couldn't help but want to send a blade to the author.

Does this author have a grudge against the original protagonist?

All the unfortunate events were arranged for her.

Posing as the rich heiress, being the cannon fodder ex-wife, wasn't this stopping at nothing until death?

But now, the one in this body isn't the doomed original protagonist, but Shen Yan from the 21st century!

The real heiress thought she could enjoy a life of luxury by going to the city, but little did she know how naïve that thought was!

The 1970s were full of turmoil, Shen's parents were intellectuals, and living in the city was like walking on thin ice, constantly at risk of unforeseen events.

The good days of the real heiress were likely just a fleeting moment, and soon enough, she might be forced to return to the countryside she despises.

Rather, this island...

Had become an idyllic paradise of that era, evading the turmoil of the times.

The real heiress might not understand what treasure she has thrown away!

Besides...

If she wanted to settle on this island, she would have to change the pampered temperament of the original protagonists and tightly grasp the main character, her lifeline!

Shen Yan pondered, a glint of determination flashed in her clear and moving eyes.

As the old saying goes, the larger the storm, the stronger the man!

How could she not understand this principle?
