After Five or Six Years as the Female Lead’s Devoted Simp, Everything Turned Around

College student Ye Qinghuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated to the countryside in 1956, where she has become a six-year-old country girl.

Even more bizarrely, she is bound to a “Simp System.” As long as she fusses over Lu Huaizhou, the village chief’s youngest son, bringing him food and drink and making sure he’s warm, she can earn money and rack up points.

To survive in an era of scarce food and clothing, Ye Qinghuan has no choice but to grit her teeth and become his “little shadow.” She gives him the first wild fruit she picks in the mountains, offers him her hand warmer in the dead of winter, and uses her quick wits to keep him wrapped around her finger.

Thanks to the Simp System, the family has meat on the table every meal. Once she saves enough points to unlock the “Simp Base,” she secretly learns new skills and improves their lives, making each day more lively and fulfilling.

After “simping” for twelve years, Ye Qinghuan thinks her life will stay on track forever. Then one day, Lu Huaizhou’s educated-youth girlfriend pushes her into the river. As Ye Qinghuan struggles in the bone-chilling water, all she gets from Lu Huaizhou on the bank is a casual, “As long as she doesn’t drown.”

Just as despair closes in, passing officer Zhou Yuan’an leaps into the icy water and pulls her out.

Later, Zhou Yuan’an’s steady promise, “I’ll take responsibility,” strikes Ye Qinghuan’s muddled heart like a thunderclap.

Twelve years of devotion had been a joke. She suddenly sees the light: she’s milked him for all he’s worth, and she can switch to someone else and still live a wonderful life!

From then on, she walks away, tearing off the “simp” label she once wore.

After following Zhou Yuan’an to his military posting, she uses the resources she accumulated through the System and her many skills to put arrogant troublemakers in their place and amaze everyone on the military compound. She becomes someone no one dares to underestimate.
