The Beautiful Little Sister from the 70s

Chen Nongmo was given a poetic name by her parents. In reality, though, she seemed destined for a life of endless toil, constantly hustling to make a living. Her life, however, was tragically brief, coming to an abrupt and hasty end at the age of twenty-eight due to an accident. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the year 1970. She had become the 15 year old daughter of Colonel Chen, a stunning beauty with the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. Initially, Chen Nongmo thought she could enjoy a smooth life, living carefree and worry-free. But life had other plans, and surprises came swiftly and unrelentingly. Before she could bask in a few days of parental love and affection, her father was labeled with a “hat” (political persecution). Her mother, unwilling to divorce her father and save herself, also couldn’t bear to take Chen Nongmo along to suffer hardships together. After much deliberation, her mother packed a bag for her, eyes red with tears, and announced her decision—to send her to the countryside to hide with her father’s ex-wife, the one who had divorced him. Clutching the money and tickets tightly, Chen Nongmo felt utterly broken. This… didn’t seem quite right, did it? “What’s my brother’s name?” Chen Nongmo asked, her face blank and resigned after being forcibly suppressed by her parents. “Chen Wuwen. The two of your names together spell out *Wuwen Nongmo* (literally, ‘dancing with words and playing with ink’),” her mother explained. Chen Wuwen: “…” So… she not only time-traveled but transmigrated into a book? And as the foolish younger sister of the male lead, who was his lifelong guilt and who died prematurely in an accident? Chen Nongmo promptly decided to just lie flat and give up. She closed her eyes, thinking, Maybe if I sleep, I’ll wake up back in my own world. At first, Chen Wuwen, a lieutenant colonel, was quite disdainful about this half-sister of his, who was over ten years younger than him and born of a different mother. But over time, as he listened to his mother’s increasingly frequent joy over the phone and received more and more gifts sent by his younger sister, Chen Wuwen gradually let go of his prejudices. He even began showing off his sister’s kindness to his comrades everywhere he went. Then… He overdid the boasting… Within a few months of following their mother to live near the army base, his sister was snatched away by one of his comrades!
