[Farming + imperial examinations + family life + building wealth]
[Clear-headed, career-focused reborn female lead X love-struck transmigrated male lead]
[The male lead will become the chief councilor, the female lead will become the richest person in the land. Together, they are a formidable pair.]
Song Huaixi has been reborn.
She has just become engaged to Liu Qingping, the village doctor's grandson, a young scholar who passed the county-level exam and earned the title of xiucai.
The match makes her the envy of everyone, but it also marks the beginning of the nightmare that was her previous life.
Fortunately, there's still time to change things.
After plenty of careful plotting, she finally breaks off the engagement with the scumbag, and is about to get her revenge...
But then her father starts worrying about her marriage again. Exasperated by the matchmaking, she turns her attention to the village's supposedly cursed loner instead.
Everyone else thinks he's a rowdy drunk who loves to gamble, but she knows that he will become the chief councilor.
Pei Nanxing transmigrates into the body of a local loafer in Taoyuan Village who happens to share his name.
He wakes up still groggy, only to learn that he's supposed to get married, and become a live-in son-in-law at that!
Pei Nanxing refuses to go through with it and decides to visit the Song family to apologize.
But the moment he sees Song Huaixi, he falls for her.
When the two marry, the villagers say Song Huaixi must have lost her mind to settle for a man like him in a fit of pique.
Who could have guessed that a rowdy loafer and a hapless girl would manage to make their impoverished lives better and better?
They farm and store grain, improve agricultural production, cook delicious food to sell at a stall, and rise through the ranks by passing the imperial examinations...
They forge ahead, leaving a remote village behind for the bustling capital.
