Lin Xi, who has yin-yang eyes, has her soul transported into the body of Jia Xichun, the Fourth Young Lady of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber. Everyone says that the Fourth Young Lady's fate is to spend her life in the company of a Buddhist lamp. But Lin Xi is a young woman in the prime of her life. How could she spend it chanting “Amitabha”? So she seeks out an old acquaintance from the Eastern Mansion and, with their help, travels a thousand miles to a small county town, where she lives under an assumed name.
Soon after arriving at an inn in Dazhou, she sees two female ghosts kill the wicked innkeeper. Then the innkeeper tries to kidnap Lin Xi and sell her. Lin Xi sets the inn on fire to escape, and later takes in two wandering ghost sisters.
Lin Xi's greatest dream is to own a large inn in a prime location: the Peaceful Inn. Unfortunately, she has only 38 taels of silver. While spreading rumors that the inn is haunted, she gets to know the brothers of her adoptive parents. After overcoming every obstacle, she finally buys the large property at a low price, goes into business, and changes the Fourth Young Lady's fate.
“Hey, Coroner Zhao, what are you up to? Heading into the hills to dig for yams?” Lin Xi asked, watching Zhao Yang plant vegetables in the courtyard. “Coroner Zhao, is planting vegetables your only hobby besides examining corpses?”
“Isn't digging holes and yams your hobby besides picking mushrooms, Miss Lin?”
Honestly, what a strange man. Lin Xi rolled her eyes. He could just say he didn't want to go!
With her bamboo basket on her back, Lin Xi headed deep into the mountains, muttering, “I'm definitely digging up a big one today…”
Half an hour later, at the bottom of a pit three feet deep, a grown man crouched on the ground, carefully clearing the dirt from around a yam.
A girl swung her short legs at the edge of the pit. “Coroner Zhao, have some water!” “Coroner Zhao, have a sweet-scented osmanthus cake!” “Coroner Zhao, take a break if you're tired, then keep digging!”
At the bottom of the pit, Coroner Zhao said nothing and kept digging for yams…
The plot is compact and the content is substantial. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is like normal people falling in love, without exaggeration. It doesn't have a very exciting plot, but it fits the life of ancient people quite well.
Very novel, the plot is coherent and worth watching
