Chu Xiaobai transmigrated into a life of utter poverty, with nothing but bare walls at home. Her family had once been scholars, but her grandparents died young, and when her uncles divided the family property, her father, the youngest and easiest to bully, was left with nothing. Worse still, they were forced to move as a family to a poor, remote village. Fortunately, her father had read plenty of books and became the village schoolteacher, but with so many poor families in the village, his tuition fees weren't enough to support them. Her mother was excellent at embroidery, but buyers always haggled down her prices. As for Chu Xiaobai... Unable to accept her new life, she tried to kill herself every so often, until she really drowned and died. The Chu Xiaobai who transmigrated into her body was left speechless and decided to work hard to get rich. But... what? The person who climbed over her family's wall to steal their chicken was the legitimate young master of the Lu Trading House?! The nerve! Whoever he is, the theft of her chicken is an unforgivable crime!
Lu Wanqing had been feeling a little melancholy lately. He had only gotten lost while collecting rent, then happened to hear a chicken clucking, and then, unable to resist his hunger, climbed over the wall. Most unfortunate of all, he hadn't just paid for a chicken, he'd lost his heart as well! The young Master Lu, however, seemed to be enjoying himself.
