Transmigration + making money + Republican Era + feel-good female-led story. Lin Wei, a 21st-century overworked office worker, transmigrates into Lu Yiping from Romance in the Rain after she jumps into the river. It happens at the very moment Lin Wei dies from overwork.
The cold waters of the Huangpu River carry the original Lu Yiping's despair, while Lin Wei's soul, tempered by two lifetimes of clarity and grit, is reborn amid choking coughs. She looks at the anxious He Shuhuan, and memories of the original's all-consuming love flash through her mind. It all seems absurd: how can being lovesick compare to making money?
