[Dual Systems at war + hard-core scumbag takedowns + scheming heroine + taciturn, devoted love interest + farming and business]
Su Tao, a top data analyst in the financial world in her previous life, opens her eyes to find she has become a plump young widow, famous across the villages of the 1980s.
From the start, her husband has fallen to his death, her awful in-laws are trying to take her house and money, and the village’s lecherous old bachelors are lining up outside her door.
Even worse, she has two crazy Systems bound to her mind!
Prosperity System: “Host, wake up! Find a man and have babies to earn points! Five hundred points for one child, double for twins, and you can trade points for white flour and rice! Get moving!”
Root-Cutting System: “Heh heh heh… Don’t listen to it. Anyone who gets ideas about you, I’ll make sure he can’t stand tall for the rest of his life! The nastier the scumbag, the bigger the reward. We’ll take one down and make a fortune!”
Su Tao rubs her temples. “Both of you shut up. Right now, all I care about is making money.”
Faced with the greed in every villager’s eyes, Su Tao sneers. She turns her figure into bait and information into a blade, setting her own traps.
The village bully trying to take advantage of her? One click to “cut him off,” and he’s sent straight to the castration ward, a laughingstock throughout the village!
The mother-in-law trying to rob her of her inheritance? Su Tao turns the tables, swipes the compensation money, then treats her to a crash course in the law!
Then He Linchuan, the cold-faced officer stationed at the east end of the village, appears.
He never wastes words. He just silently patches her drafty walls, chops wood for her whole yard, and even changes his patrol route so it passes her vegetable garden.
When Su Tao leans against the doorframe and offers him a glass of water, her slender fingers brushing his rough knuckles by chance…
He Linchuan crushes the enamel cup in his hand. The tips of his ears turn red, and his voice is low but firm. “From now on, I’ll guard your door.”
