At a pivotal moment in her family’s life, Wen Xiu is unexpectedly reborn. The cruel joke of fate, or perhaps its gift, brings her nothing but pain at first. As the heroine rebuilds herself and learns to face life with a calmer, more carefree attitude, readers get a glimpse of ordinary people’s lives in the countryside and the cities of China after 2000.
When other people are reborn, they think about getting ahead and riding the next big wave. Wen Xiu chooses to take life seriously without giving in to anxiety, and live it again. There’s no need to rush into becoming a workhorse. There’ll be plenty of work to do later, so take your time.
The heroine is an ordinary person, with no golden finger. Being reborn doesn’t make her smarter. If she wants something, she still has to learn and strive for it herself. The pairing stays the same, the love interest appears late, and there are no children.
An ordinary life for an ordinary person. If that’s your cup of tea, come give it a read.
