Retro Era: Blueprints of a Ruthless Mother

Lin Haiqiu wakes up with her lungs burning, sprinting through the freezing mud of the Wushan Production Brigade. Behind her, her greedy in-laws are hunting her down to steal the last bag of grain meant for her starving twins. The original owner of this body was a naive pushover who bled herself dry for the Jiang family, only to be left to die in the snow. But Haiqiu is a cold, calculating systems engineer from the 21st century. Awakening a magical farming space attached to a time-dilated library of future technological blueprints, she vows to rewrite this tragic life. Guided by a spectral crimson hare, she secretly cultivates bountiful harvests and invents revolutionary agricultural machinery, hoarding wealth while methodically orchestrating the downfall of the abusive Jiangs. Her fierce intellect and icy demeanor catch the eye of Song Zewen, a wealthy overseas businessman returning to his roots, sparking a slow-burn romance amid the melancholy of a starving era. Yet, as Haiqiu dismantles her enemies, she realizes the sweet village teacher who always babysat her kids is hiding a poisonous secret. Will Haiqiu's blueprints be enough to outsmart the viper in her own nest?
