“A woman's coming-of-age story” “A strong-willed woman versus a happy-go-lucky puppy and a scheming man” “Bickering couple” “Not for readers with a serious aversion to romantic entanglements”
On the eve of the Northern Song dynasty's fall, I transmigrated into the body of Qi Changhuan, a wealthy family's daughter, because of my fair-weather friend Zhao Yitang. I had none of the original owner's memories. I went into business with Li Yuci, a tutor's daughter I already knew, and fell in love with Sun Jialin, a kindhearted young man from a wealthy family. Here, I met a father who had a profound influence on me, as well as my modern-day best friend Ke'er. She is now the maid of my friend, and the two of us have no connection at all, though I have yet to confirm that. The two-faced Zhao Chaofeng looked down on me from his lofty position, seeing me as no better than an ant. To uncover Zhao Yitang's mysterious past and learn the truth about how I transmigrated, I had no choice but to associate with Madam Zhao, who looked a lot like Zhao Yitang and was having an affair with Zhao Chaofeng. After the war, our country fell and our families were destroyed. Yuci and I fled south. There, Yuci rekindled her old relationship with Li Yanei. My husband had died along the way, and Zhao Chaofeng naturally set his sights on me. Gradually setting aside our prejudices, we joined our interests and became family through marriage.
I'll spare you the rest.
