I'm Hua Mian, a PhD candidate in Chinese Language and Literature.
I was hit by a truck while saving a goose crossing the road, then woke up in the body of a nineteen-year-old orphan girl from the countryside. ;ω;
The good news: I'm ridiculously strong. I can kill a wild boar with one punch. ??
The bad news: I have a seven-year-old little brother to raise, and we're so poor even the mice are crying as they move out...
No problem! Do you think a PhD's knowledge is just for show?
Make soap, produce cement, build greenhouses, open a restaurant...
Before I knew it, I'd become the richest person in the country. ??????
As for that poor scholar who keeps "running into" me at the bookstore...
I thought he was just a student in need of a little help, so I kindly taught him how to solve problems, bought him meals, and gave him clothes.
Then the guy went and came back with the title of top scholar???
Later, he cornered me against a wall, looking aggrieved.
"Hua Mian, you said you'd marry me once I became Chief Grand Secretary... Well, I am one now."
Me: "??? Wait, I was just saying that offhand!"
He wouldn't listen and pulled out an imperial edict. "The emperor has already granted us permission to marry."
