Qing Rou had a sharp pain at the back of her head as she drifted in and out of consciousness.
"Grandma, when is little aunt going to wake up?" a childish voice with a lisp asked while softly patting her cheek.
A gentle hand caressed her forehead as another warm, unseen voice assured the little boy,
"Soon. Her fever broke and great-grandmother already gave her medication."
"Come, Xiao Bao. Let's go eat and make some congee for your little aunt. She's going to sleep for now."
As the footsteps drifted further away, Qing Rou finally got the strength to open her eyes.
Looking around at the unfamiliar environment, she was stunned. One minute she was dying in the street and the next she was in a simple but girlish bedroom. A bit outdated. White girlish curtains with pop a pop of blue color with curtain ties, a cotton comforter, a small desk and chair and a vase with wildflowers. Clippings from newspapers on the wall.

[You have been chosen to come to this world to make your dreams come true. Your main goal is to give birth and raise children for a significant figure in the 1970s in this alternate timeline. Be reassured, Host, all the male candidates chosen are the cream of the crop. Your happily ever after awaits you.]
Qing Rou was in shock as she processed what the system had said. All this information was a shock to her.This all seemed like a absurd hallucination so she took a few minutes to process.
"System, will I get to choose my husband? Or the number of children I have? Will I get to raise them well? There's no point in having children that you can't take care of. It goes against my ethics. My dream is to be a good mother not to become a mindless breeding machine."
System: Well said, my Host! You will definitely get your choice of husband. Three targets have been detected. Once you agree to the task, we'll talk about it in more detail. The number of children you have will be up to you. You will definitely get the most points from giving birth but there will be alternative tasks for points, especially raising children. The Gods wanted to reward you for being so kind in your previous life, not punish you. This is just a chance at happiness with a small twist.
Qing Rou narrowed her eyes and gathered her thoughts while gazing out the window. She had been praying for a miracle all along, and now her prayers had been answered in the most bizarre way. She had nothing to lose, so she was going to go ahead and live this second life to the fullest.
"Okay, System, I agree. Let's do this. Do you have a name? It seems like we are going to be partners for a lifetime. I can't be calling you 'System' all along."
[System: I have no official name, but you can call me Xiao Jin. (^o^)Can I call you Xiao Rou?]
"Of course."
"Xiao Jin, so who am I in this world? What is the situation?"
A glowing screen appeared.

"This is the 1970s, a similar period to the timeline in your world with a few changes. When things are significant different , I will let you know. The original owner of this body had a tragic fate. She gave up this body with a few conditions before handing it over to you. Your first mission is to fulfill her wishes. The first is for her family to live a good life without being implicated by her. The second is to punish the people who plotted her downfall. The third is to be married proudly to a good man."
A glowing pale blue orb floated in the air before disappearing.
[Host, these are this body's memories.]
The original owner was the youngest daughter of the Shen family. It was a chaotic and difficult time for everyone in the country but her family was luckier than most. Her grandfather was in the army and her grandmother a nurse. Her father was their only surviving child. He was a secretary to the mayor and her mother was a middle school teacher. She had an older brother who was eleven years older than her and she was a beloved surprise to her parents. She grew up cherished by her family.
She later took over her mother's job as a middle school teacher. The orignial was living a happy life in the city when people began pressuring her to marry. Her parents were carefully screening potential matches. During this period the nation had arranged a training session in Beijing for teachers from around the country and each school had one allocation.
During the trip, she met another teacher of the same age on the train who had an older brother, a loafer in Beijing who had been laid off from a factory. He was a thirty-six-year-old, lazy, obese bachelor and the family's treasure.
Li Mei plotted with her brother to trap her into marriage. She got the original owner drunk and took her to a hotel room where Li Tao assaulted her. The next morning, she invited others over and tried to force her into marriage. It was a tragedy. Even when her family tried to defend her, her reputation and her family were destroyed. Her father and brother lost their jobs and were eventually forced to the countryside. On the eve of her wedding to Li Tao the original Shen Qing Rou took her own life.
