[1970s setting + small animals + strong female lead + face-slapping + devoted couple + everyday family life, with crime-solving as the focus and a lighter romance]
Veterinarian Ye Jingjing transmigrates into the period novel about two male leads that she loves reading, becoming a beautiful but frail cannon-fodder character.
She thinks she's just a stepping stone for her "adoptive sister," but unexpectedly gains a portable pet hospital as her own private space. Even more bizarrely, she acquires the ability to communicate with animals out of nowhere.
As a result, she becomes the "boss" of the little animals. On her very first day, a gray mouse brings her an unexpected surprise. Before long, she accidentally cracks a major case, becoming a nationally renowned crime-solving treasure whom police stations across the country clamor to recruit. She also somehow becomes the era's top veterinarian.
After gaining her skills, she returns to the capital and decisively cuts ties with her biased parents and brothers.
When the powerful figures everyone else can only aspire to are all rushing to curry favor with Ye Jingjing and begging her to treat their animals, her biological brothers realize the truth and regret everything.
Ye Jingjing couldn't care less: "Oh, don't you already have a little sister? Why would you need me?"
Her biological brothers: "It's fine. Jingjing needs our protection in the capital."
But they are stunned to discover that when Ye Jingjing is around, the next head of the Zhou family, a man they wouldn't even dare dream of approaching, looks at her with unprecedented indulgence and tenderness.
A little tip:
There is a male lead. In the early part, she grows and takes in small animals; later, she heads to the capital and takes on the whole world.
