Modern office worker Cheng Yunshu transmigrates by accident and becomes Cheng Shaoshang’s full-blooded elder sister in The Starry Love, while also binding herself to a pocket dimension where she can grow crops and find a magical spring.
She knows the hardships her younger sister will face: their parents will be posted to a distant garrison, their grandmother will be cruel, and their aunt will be vicious. In her previous life, Cheng Shaoshang grew into a prickly rose, hiding a heart full of wounds behind a tough exterior.
In this life, Cheng Yunshu takes her sister’s hand and uses the pocket dimension’s spring water to nourish her, while drawing on the wisdom of two lifetimes to keep her safe. She secretly uses crops from the pocket dimension to improve their meals, shields her from attacks both open and hidden, and teaches her to conceal her sharp edges without losing sight of who she is.
But when their parents return, their mother’s strict love becomes a new shackle. Xiao Yuanyi’s rules, the family’s prejudice, and the schemes of others deepen the rift between the sisters and the Cheng family. When a carefully plotted “poisonous scheme” targets Cheng Shaoshang, Cheng Yunshu looks at her coldhearted relatives and finally makes up her mind.
“From this day forward, I, Cheng Yunshu, sever all ties with the Cheng family.”
She leads Cheng Shaoshang out of the Cheng family estate, making a place for themselves with the pocket dimension and earning a living through their own wits. Free of family constraints and the shackles of propriety, they carve out a home of their own amid the chaos of the age, beneath a brilliant starry sky, and live lives that shine with their own dazzling light.
