(Period setting + no space or System + seaside foraging + family life + building wealth + a touch of ensemble cast + women supporting one another and growing)
Su Miao, who died of an illness in the 21st century, has her soul transported into the body of a seventeen-year-old girl with the same name in 1983.
Her situation from the start is a complete disaster.
Her father, an army officer, is reported killed in action, while her mother is a blindly filial woman. She has an older sister who is bullied by her in-laws and a younger sister who is only eleven.
As a 21st-century writer of period stories, Su Miao knows all too well what opportunities will come along and when.
Watch her team up with her reborn mother to take on their awful relatives, forage along the shore and build their fortune, turning the whole family’s fortunes around and becoming big winners in life.
Later, her father, the army officer, suddenly returns, with a strikingly handsome man following behind him. The man has a cool, aloof air and looks somehow familiar.
Su Miao pursues her career with one hand and her handsome man with the other. Life couldn’t be sweeter.
(A heroine’s got to have it all: career, money, and a man.)
Warning: The male lead appears rather late.
