Lin Xiao, a modern social animal, accidentally traveled through time while working overtime. When he opened his eyes, he became a cold and hungry beggar in the ancient costume world. At the beginning, he only had a shabby straw mat and muddy clothes.
In order to survive, she did not wait for charity, but collected cloth and sewed clothes, and worked for others in exchange for hot meals. With her hard work, she won the first opportunity - helping Su Rou, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, to retrieve a dropped medicine bag, and was able to work as a handyman in the Su Mansion. In the mansion, she made a name for herself by relying on her modern life skills: making Jiangnan glutinous rice and lotus root to please Su Rou, boiling preserved fruit to help Su Rou relieve the pain of medicine, she also skillfully exposed Aunt Liu's difficulties, counterattacked from a handyman to a personal maid, and was taught to read and write by Su Rou.
At a birthday banquet, Xiao Ce, the Marquis of Zhenbei, recognized her as Xiao Wan, the long-lost legitimate daughter of the Hou family, based on the burn scar from her tiger's mouth and the ancestral jade pendant. After recognizing his ancestor and returning to his clan, Lin Xiao did not dwell on wealth. Instead, he used modern accounting methods to straighten out the chaotic accounts of the Hou Mansion, mediate disputes within the house fairly, and opened a "Wanxiangzhai" snack shop. He became famous for his unique taste, and even deftly defused harassment by gangsters and helped the poor.
From a beggar in an alley to a young lady from a Hou Mansion to a self-reliant shop manager, Lin Xiao has always believed that "luck depends on opportunities, and seizing opportunities depends on hands." Finally, relying on his own wisdom and diligence in ancient times, he lived his life as a light that illuminates himself and warms others.
