Reborn 1975: Do You Want a Wife?

Xu Lei, a modern wilderness survival vlogger, opens his eyes to find himself reborn in 1975 at the Yongan Forest Farm. The year is marked by destitution; his home is bare, cold winds whistle through the walls, and the rice jar is nearly empty. In an era where poverty was paradoxically celebrated as honorable, Xu Lei struggles to secure his basic survival. His predicament takes an unexpected turn when the brigade party secretary knocks on his door with a peculiar offer: "Xu Lei, do you want a wife?" Standing at the entrance is a pure-hearted young woman, a sent-down youth whose striking beauty has made her the target of both exclusion and unwanted advances. Struck by an immediate sense of kinship—having grown up without siblings or family—Xu Lei feels a fierce protective instinct awaken within him. He vows to safeguard her well-being, finding new hope and motivation in their partnership. Leveraging his expert wilderness survival skills from his previous life, Xu Lei turns to the mountains to solve their food crisis. Armed with his father’s double-barreled shotgun and accompanied by his loyal hunting dog, Heihu, he treats the vast Changbai Mountains as his personal backyard. His superior hunting prowess allows him to provide abundant meat, achieving a level of dietary freedom that baffles his neighbors who are still struggling for basic cornmeal. As his household flourishes, local women, including envious neighbors and widows, attempt to curry favor. Yet, Xu Lei remains steadfast in his loyalty, humorously rejecting their temptations with the resolve of a dedicated hunter who knows exactly what truly matters.
