In the 21st century, Yang Jia Yi was a very ordinary young woman.
She was orphaned at fifteen, and for the past seven years, she had lived alone in this world.
But that was fine; she had inherited a massive fortune, which meant this girl didn't need to worry about money at all. Every day, she just ate, shopped, read novels, and... slept.
But then one day, after finishing the novel *Educated Youth in the 60s*, Yang Jia Yi transmigrated.
Others transmigrated to ancient times, to prehistoric eras, but she transmigrated into a book.
Yes, it was precisely *Educated Youth in the 60s*, the one she had just read.
Just then, 3333 appeared.
It told Yang Jia Yi that her transmigration was due to an operational error.
And, if she wanted to return to the real world, she had to become its host so they could cooperate to complete missions.
But before that, she had to find a way to survive.
Because in the original story, the original host would die in the winter of 1967, at the age of fourteen.
Speaking of the original host, she was also quite a pitiful girl.
She was originally the child of a martyr.
Her father died, her mother remarried, and the original host became a helpless child in her own home.
They say a stepmother is as bad as a stepfather, but here, it was the reverse: in this house, there was a stepfather, and her own mother had become like a stepmother.
Since her father died, her mother took the huge consolation money and married the stepfather. In the second year, she immediately gave him a son.
This child, as soon as he was born, became the family's treasure, and the original host naturally became an unwanted burden, living on borrowed time.
Every morning, the original host had to cook breakfast for the family and wash dishes before going to school.
When she returned from school, she worked tirelessly without rest, from cooking and washing dishes to doing laundry and cleaning the house – there was no chore she didn't do.
Even so, her mother and stepfather were still not satisfied.
If it weren't for their fear of others saying they were harsh on a martyr's child, her stepfather and mother wouldn't even have let her go to school.
To them, the original host was not a child of the family.
Studying only wasted time and money; instead, it would be more useful if she stayed home and did housework.
Growing up in such circumstances made the original host extremely weak and insecure; she only knew how to nod and agree, never daring to resist.
But on the other hand, the original host was very good at studying.
Perhaps fearing that one day her mother would no longer let her go to school, she was extremely diligent and hardworking. Although she was only fourteen, she had already finished twelfth grade.
If the country hadn't suddenly undergone major upheaval and universities been forced to close, it's possible she would have already passed the university entrance exam.
How ironic, how ironic.
At the end of the second semester, in 1967, her classmates suddenly became agitated. They vied with each other to destroy classrooms and schools, drive out teachers, and burn books.
Riots broke out everywhere, forcing the government to deploy the military to resolve the situation.
Universities were closed indefinitely.
At this time, a new policy was enacted.
Households with unmarried children who were neither studying nor working all had to participate in the "Up to the Mountains, Down to the Countryside" campaign, becoming educated youth to support the rural areas.
In short, apart from those who could continue studying and those who had found jobs, all unmarried individuals had to go to the countryside.
The original host just happened to be in that group.
She had finished high school, universities were closed, and she had no job.
But if the original host went to the countryside, it was unknown when she could return, or perhaps she would be stuck there for life.
The original host’s stepfather and biological mother – how could they possibly agree to that?
They were still hoping to marry off the original host to some wealthy man in exchange for a huge bride price. If the original host left, it would be like letting a cooked duck fly away – how could they possibly agree to that?
As luck would have it, Dương Tiền, a member of the Revolutionary Committee, took a fancy to the original host. He let it be known that he would help her stepfather get a promotion, and her mother and stepfather immediately agreed with delight.
Even though Dương Tiền was already over forty.
Even though Dương Tiền was known for beating his wives, so much so that his first two wives couldn't bear it and had to run away with their lovers.
But the original host’s stepfather and mother didn't care; all they saw were the benefits they would gain after marrying her off.
They had refused to let her go to the countryside precisely because they were waiting for this day, hadn't they?
In the book, the original host was too weak and timid to resist, and just three months after getting married, she died a tragic death at the tender age of fourteen.
Her stepfather, biological mother, and even her half-brother – not a single one of them cared about the original host’s death.
Because Dương Tiền had compensated them with two hundred đồng.
A human life was only worth two hundred đồng.
And, the original host, that ill-fated girl, was named Dương Gia Nghi.
The same name and surname as her.
