When she wakes up, Jiang Haiyue, a seasoned beachcombing blogger with a master's degree in marine biology, has transmigrated into the eldest sister of the same name in a poor coastal fishing village in the early 1970s.

It's hell from the start: her parents died in a maritime disaster, her grandparents favor boys and want to seize the compensation money, and her three younger siblings are so hungry they're skin and bones.

On top of that, her awful relatives want to sell her to a widower in the next village in exchange for a bride price!

Jiang Haiyue gives a cold laugh, promptly splits from the family and cuts ties, then moves with her siblings into a dilapidated thatched hut.

Everyone thinks the family will starve to death in the sea breeze, but Jiang Haiyue picks up her beachcombing gear and heads straight for an undeveloped stretch of coast teeming with resources.

No fantasy System, no high-tech gear? With her maxed-out beachcombing experience and extensive knowledge of marine life, she still thrives!

In the tide pools among the rocks, other people pick up tiny shrimp, while she catches giant green crabs weighing two jin apiece.

Beneath the reefs in deep water, where no one else dares to go, she dives down and brings up premium wild sea cucumbers and abalone.

She makes her own fish traps, raids the beach at night, and prepares secret-recipe dried seafood…

Short on cash? Jiang Haiyue delivers basket after basket of top-quality seafood to the county supply and marketing cooperative and earns piles of money!

Being bullied? One swing of the iron fish spear in Jiang Haiyue's hands sends her awful relatives scurrying out of her way!
