[Transmigrate into a book + everyday life + sweet romance + face-slapping + building a career + raising kids]
Cheng Chijing wakes up one morning in the body of a female cannon-fodder character. In the original story, she is jilted by her scumbag fiancé, sold by her cousin to a violent woman, and eventually dies miserably as the last wife of an old widower.
On the scumbag's wedding day, a recording of him two-timing his fiancée is played right in the family compound, sending him straight to the hazardous-waste recycling bin! The whole compound is rocked by the explosive revelation!
Back in her village, she kicks out her freeloading cousins and leads the whole family into livestock farming, making a thriving success of life in their little fishing village. She originally only wanted to make enough to become a ten-thousand-yuan household and then lie flat. After that, she'd find herself a handsome, charming husband (someone she'd be proud to show off), who handed over his salary (a dependable meal ticket) and spent all day at the research institute instead of coming home (so she wouldn't have to wait on him). But then...
The commune secretary pats her on the shoulder. "Xiao Cheng, you've done a great job with this factory. You need to help the whole commune get rich!"
County officials come to inspect in person. "You've got great ideas, young lady. We're handing the county's fishing-boat factory over to you!"
A top provincial official calls her out by name. "Comrade Cheng Chijing, the provincial light industry bureau needs talent like you!"
Even the arrogant, aloof male lead from the original no-romance novel goes out of character!
Wasn't he supposed to hate coming home?
Wasn't he supposed to be frigid?
Wasn't he supposed to love nothing but working overtime?
Who the hell works overtime in bed at home?!
Cheng Chijing: "Wait! I really just want to be a lazy fish!"
