An alternate parallel world spanning the late 1970s to the early 1990s.
The ultimate doting-wife routine: In public, the heroine can knock out a kid with one punch, but at home, she chases her husband around trying to feed him. Everyone in the village thinks Cheng Yanshu is living off his wife, when in reality, he’s the mastermind behind the scenes. The setup of “the heroine handles all the fighting, while the hero looks pretty and plots from behind the scenes” delivers an overwhelming dose of sweetness.
A crushingly unfair rise to wealth: While everyone else is struggling to weave fishing nets, Li Xiaoxiao is already using secret recipes rewarded by the System to make canned goods and seafood snacks that become popular across the country. While others are still using little wooden boats, she uses blueprints to secretly “develop” a motorized fishing vessel far ahead of its time, building her own business empire.
The ultimate face-slapping by playing the pig to eat the tiger: From gossipy village women to envious county officials, and later the wealthy ladies of the capital who look down on Li Xiaoxiao’s humble origins, she face-slaps them all with her sheer capabilities, both financial and physical. And when the truth about the male lead Cheng Yanshu’s identity is revealed, the satisfaction reaches its peak.
A double-sided power couple: Li Xiaoxiao charges ahead in the open with her forward-thinking business sense and the System’s resources, while Cheng Yanshu protects her from the shadows with his intelligence and hidden connections. She crushes the competition with strength and wealth, while he does it with brains and power. Together, they’re unstoppable.
According to the newspaper, the heroine will only ignore the best when she encounters him, but she will become a nymphomaniac when facing the male protagonist, and she will be inexplicably high-profile.
