“I don’t want to marry. Yin Xu is lame, and he has a sick mother and a student sister at home. Aren’t I going to become their cattle and horse when I get married? Why should I?”
“Why? Isn’t it you who likes Yin Xu and asked me to mention marriage to him? Besides, Yin Xu broke his legs, trying to save your grandfather. Didn’t he do us a favor just because you are about to get married? We can’t be ungrateful! That’s enough, Chu Lan, stop making a fuss. What if our neighbors hear you?”
“Hah, it’s best if word gets out. Grandma, what era are we now in? Arranged marriages are no longer popular. If you don’t believe me, would you like us to go to the Women’s Federation and ask? I will never marry Yin Xu even if I die. If you feel that you owe him, tsk, isn’t there another girl of the right age at home?”
“What do you mean? Do you want Chu Xiang to marry in your stead?! Chu Xiang is now badly injured. How can you suggest such a thing?”

“Isn’t she a perfect match for Yin Xu? Who else would you let her marry? Who would want her?”
Chu Xiang woke up with a splitting headache amidst the shrill noise. The right side of her face was on fire, hurting to the point of numbness. Even her whole body was aching sorely. She frowned, took a deep breath, and looked around.
This was a narrow and dark mud-brick house with low beams and small windows. It made people depressed. The crucial thing was that the spiritual energy of this world was pitiful, less than that of any other world before!
The people outside the house were still arguing, and there was no one in the room. Chu Xiang immediately took out two pieces of her special pain reliever from the space and ate it. The use of the spiritual power possessed by her soul was affected by external conditions. There was sparing spiritual energy in this world, and she could mobilize very little of it. The effect of healing her body was slow, thus she could only endure the pain temporarily.
She flexed her fingers and summoned the Qiankun Mirror, and saw that the right face of this body now had a wound from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth. Adding the smear of black medicine, it looked terrifying. No wonder the person outside said she couldn’t get married. It turned out that she was disfigured.

She quickly integrated the memory of the original owner. This was a country she had never seen before, called Hua State, and it was also an era she had never been to, in the very poor and restrictive late 1970s.
The original owner was 18 years old, a student, and was somewhat close to an educated youth named Song Yang in the brigade. They also had mutual affection for each other. Song Yang’s family was from the provincial capital, and since the resumption of college entrance exams a year ago, the two prepared for the entrance exams together, wanting to go to the provincial university.
The noisy Chu Lan outside was her cousin from her uncle’s family, one year older than her. She failed to get into college last year and had already stopped studying. However, she had a crush on the tall and capable Yin Xu and asked her family to help her make a deal to marry him. Who would have thought that she’d have a sudden change in temper recently? She wanted to take the university entrance examination, and now she was still clamoring to let Chu Xiang marry in her place. She might be bad in nature, but she was lucky and could always obtain some good stuff.
The original owner, however, was quite unlucky. During the school exam, she caught a cold and had a fever. She got dizzy and got a very low score. On the way home, she missed her step and rolled down the hillside. A sharp stone cut the side of her face, and the back of her head hit a boulder heavily, leaving bruises and scratches all over her body.
The original owner was hit in the back of her head so badly, but the doctor at the health clinic thought she was fine because she didn’t bleed. Unfortunately, the original owner died and Chu Xiang took over her identity.

The population of the Chu family was not large, with Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu as the heads. Their two sons were the uncle and father of the original owner, and they were both ordinary farmers. Their daughter, the original owner’s aunt, married in the county town at an early age, and now worked in a supply and marketing cooperative. She was said to have the best conditions in the whole family, although she was quite arrogant. She always disdained associating with her poor relatives.
Uncle Chu only has one child, Chu Lan. He suffered from a work injury and could no longer father a child. Therefore, he always felt unable to lift his head in the brigade. His back was a little bent, and he would only work hard, like an old bull.
The original owner has a 16-year-old younger brother named Chu Xin, and he has just started high school. Chu Xin was the only seedling of the Chu family’s grandchildren, the only grandson. He was terribly spoiled at home and has never paid respect to his two elder sisters. Moreover, he didn’t do any chores and has poor academic performance. He has grown into a butterball at his age through eating and drinking.
The original owner’s parents were very partial. Her grandpa, grandma, and uncle also favored Chu Xin. Of course, her uncle was also partial to Chu Lan. Only the original owner was ignored by everyone. If it wasn’t for the original master’s outstanding academic performance, and the teacher’s guarantee that she could receive subsidies for her college entrance examination, her family would have stopped her from studying.

After Chu Xiang finished fusing her memories, she finally knew why she, a wounded person, lived in such a poor room without a single carer. Her grandmother outside would rather quarrel with Chu Lan about not letting her marry in her stead, instead of taking the initiative to come in to see if she was feeling better. It seemed that her main concern was the possibility of the Yin family causing trouble and leaving the Chu family in disgrace. She didn’t matter one bit.
Chu Xiang sat up on the bed laboriously, took out a few crystal cores from her space, and placed them into a spirit gathering array under the quilt. Although there was scarce spiritual energy, the gathering of spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Array made her feel a little more comfortable.
Next, she took out a piece of burrito and ate it with millet porridge. In her previous life, she collected a lot of good stuff in the post-apocalypse. Fortunately, she had space and these things, otherwise she would be miserable now.
This was a strange era. People were forbidden to wander around. Going to other places required the approval of the district chief as well as a letter of introduction. Otherwise, you couldn’t even buy tickets. Food and daily necessities couldn’t be bought with money, and only tickets could. Tickets were often rare things, so sometimes when people were craving meat or wanted to sew new clothes, they couldn’t.
Fortunately, in the past year or two, the policy has been much looser. The land has been assigned to each household, there was no need for a collective distribution of work, and nobody was arrested from selling something in the county. The college entrance examination was also resumed. If Chu Xiang had transmigrated two years earlier, there would have been more restrictions.
