In the Seventies, I Awaken as a Villainous Cannon Fodder and Snatch the Protagonist’s Golden Hand

"The era + transmigration + space"

Tags: clear-headed big female lead, focused entirely on building a career

Yang Lihua transmigrated into this body at birth and, after more than ten years, awakened suddenly on the day her eldest brother Yang Lixin was meeting a potential bride. She discovered that her future eldest sister-in-law was the pitiful female lead of a period novel who was constantly tormented by a younger sister-in-law, and that she herself was the notorious nasty younger sister-in-law hated by readers.

On top of that, various plotlines would pop up in her head from time to time.

No matter which book she was in, she would always be the cannon-fodder stepping stone for the protagonists, and even the fool who delivered all kinds of cheat abilities to them.

They would take her cheat abilities and still want to send her down to the countryside, trapping her there for the rest of her life.

Then she would snatch the protagonists’ cheat abilities first, become more successful than them, and keep them beneath her feet for the rest of their lives.

See how Yang Lihua goes from a textile-factory worker tending machines step by step to the office of the factory, then into the propaganda department, from managing a state-run factory to governing a region.

Warning: the female lead is rather selfish and first considers only her own interests. There is very little romance.
