[1970s + gathering seafood + supporting the family + no troublesome relatives + face-slapping + making a fortune]
Lin Haiyue, a top modern marine biologist and expert diver, wakes up as an orphaned fisherman's daughter on a remote island in 1975.
From the start, both her parents are dead in a shipwreck, leaving behind three emaciated younger siblings and a horde of awful relatives at her door, pressuring her for the compensation money.
A hellish start? Lin Haiyue sneers, grabs a fishing spear, and drives them out!
Make a living from the mountains if you live by mountains, and from the sea if you live by the sea. With her expert marine knowledge and outstanding swimming skills, the ocean is her personal ATM!
While others gather dead fish and rotten shrimp, she heads out to find top-quality giant crabs, wild yellow croaker, and arm-long spiny lobsters!
Running low on food? Haiyue dives into the sea, and abalone as big as washbasins practically swim into her hands!
Need tuition for her younger siblings? She takes a basket of wild sea cucumbers to the black market and comes back with a fortune!
A stern naval officer who has been sent down to the island frowns every day. "My Haiyue is so delicate. How can she do dangerous work like gathering seafood?"
The villagers: "..."
What exactly do you think "delicate" means? Who was that female warrior god who pinned down a giant shark with her bare hands yesterday and dragged a 150-kilo tuna ashore?
Only then do they realize that the orphan they thought would starve to death has quietly become a sea queen with a fortune to her name!
Let readers appreciate the life of people on the seaside and the wealth of the sea, and the collision between human wisdom and good and evil human nature! I can't help but want to read the story below! A very good piece of music between man and the sea!
