He Suisui, a fourth-year biology student, dies suddenly after staying up all night revising her thesis.
When she opens her eyes again, she has transmigrated into the body of a foolish girl in ancient times. She has no parents, and a layabout is chasing her when she falls off a cliff.
The person who saves her is a village doctor named Shen Nian'an. He’s quite handsome, but dirt poor. The most valuable thing in his house is a yellow dog named Zhaocai, which means “attract wealth.”
The dog is called Zhaocai, but the family has no money. He Suisui thinks the name is dripping with dark irony.
What’s worse, her golden finger finally arrives...
An encyclopedia.
Other people’s golden fingers: Systems, pocket dimensions, and spirit springs.
Hers: A book she has to flip through by hand.
He Suisui throws her head back and cries, “I died suddenly and transmigrated, and now I still have to study???”
There’s no helping it. If she has to read, she has to read.
So she starts “playing dumb while building a business.” She points at a mushroom and says, “This one’s edible,” then pops it into her mouth, scaring the village doctor into watching her for the rest of the afternoon. She fishes out crayfish and cooks a potful, but the doctor says, “Nobody eats those,” while she devours them with oil running down her chin. When the doctor gets cheated while selling medicine, he accepts two hundred when the buyer offers two hundred. She watches, heart bleeding inside, while keeping a silly smile on her face.
Dog named Zhaocai, why don’t you bring in some wealth? Why don’t you negotiate the price?
Later, she gradually “gets smarter.” She helps the village doctor grow medicinal herbs and make fermented tofu, and teaches the whole village how to make a fortune.
Shen Nian'an says, “You love apricots, so from now on, I’ll call you Xing'er.”
Xing'er thinks, His naming skills are average, but he has a good eye.
There are no outrageous villains in this story, just a group of ordinary people struggling through hard times.
