Jiang Sui, a wealthy third-generation heir raised to take over the family business, lands in the food-scarce late 1960s and becomes a frail, silly little girl who has been weak since birth.
Her father is a butcher with superhuman strength who loves to slack off. Her mother is a sophisticated bourgeoisie type. Her eldest brother is taciturn, while her second brother never stops talking. And then there’s her grandmother, who once stood outside someone’s door and cursed them for three whole days. Little Jiang Sui has endured all the hardships of her past life here, driving her parents to get secure jobs, while her sixty-year-old grandmother is just reaching the age when she wants to make trouble. Luckily, her family villa came with her, stocked with plenty of supplies.
Later, their dinner table features wild greens dipped in caviar, vegetable soup alongside foie gras, and king crab, abalone, sea cucumber… The entire Jiang family has grown numb to it all. Years later, no one could imagine that they were eating things people in the future could barely afford back in the 1960s.
As Little Jiang Sui grows up, she becomes more and more beautiful. Jiang Er starts worrying. When his daughter was little, he kept a close watch on her, afraid some brat would spirit her away. Now that she’s grown, he’s worried the boys around her are no good. So he and Liu Lanying hatch a plan: they send her off to the army and ask their eldest son to find her a suitable man. Jiang Mu is always talking about his sister in the unit, saying she’s prettier than the stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, highly educated, and knows how to butcher a pig. Looking at Jiang Mu’s broad shoulders and big round face, everyone believes the part about butchering pigs.
When Jiang Sui finally visits the unit, everyone is stunned by the pretty young woman beside Jiang Mu.
Someone asks Jiang Mu, “Your sister is so pretty and refined. She can butcher pigs?”
“She probably can’t even hold a knife steady.” Later… well, if she hadn’t gone to college, Jiang Sui really would have taken up her father’s trade as a butcher.

Leaving a mark, the heroine took it for granted that these were her parents. She also said that she had not seen her parents for so many years and her parents must have missed her, but they loved the original owner and did not know that they had changed souls.
This is the author's second book, and it suits my taste. The family is harmonious, brothers and sisters respect each other, and parents are happy. Reading this kind of book gives me a slight sense of happiness
