One moment, Su Qingqing is working overtime late into the night in the modern world. The next, she has transmigrated into a 1970s novel as a thoroughly despicable cannon-fodder character.
From the start, her heartless relatives marry her off in her cousin's place to the village's fiercest, rough-hewn man, the so-called “Living Yama.” She faces a miserable fate, with death by his hand always a possibility.
Luckily, she gets bound to the “Gossip System.” Even more absurdly, everyone in the village can hear her thoughts!
Faced with the whole gang of awful people making trouble for her, she simply lies flat and munches on sunflower seeds, mentally digging through the village's gossip.
When a greedy granny tries to pocket the compensation money, Su's thoughts reveal where she hid it. The village chief leads people there that very night, digging up even her coffin money!
When a wicked aunt tries to steal a rare set of documents, Su's thoughts broadcast the whole thing live. The villagers grab torches, surround her, and catch her red-handed!
When the original heroine tries to head to the city for a life of luxury, Su's thoughts expose the man she's marrying. On their wedding night, his legal wife storms in and ruins her reputation!
Just as all her awful relatives are wiped out, her husband, the so-called Living Yama rumored to beat his wife, suddenly pins her against the corner of the newly built red-brick house and asks in a husky voice, “Honey, we've had our fill of everyone else's gossip. Shouldn't we make a baby of our own?”
