The Daily Life of an Introverted Cannon Fodder Putting on an Act in a Family of Drama Queens

[Transmigrate into a book | Period setting | Strong female lead | Comedy | Family life | Ensemble cast's rise from adversity | Wits and strategy | Focused on making money]

There is no romance in the early stages, and the golden finger is relatively weak. The story focuses on the female lead's personal growth. Later, she will choose her own partner. The plot stays close to the realities of life in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong in the 1950s, without going overboard, so the early pacing is a little slower. The supporting characters aren't mindlessly evil, and the female lead uses her information advantage to turn her life around in every way!

Life is a play, and it all comes down to acting!

Zhu Hui, a socially anxious introvert, has transmigrated into a book!

She becomes the cannon-fodder second daughter of the Zhu family in northern Guangdong in the 1950s, universally regarded by her family as a free laborer and a human leech.

Everyone in the family is a drama queen: a biased mother, an honest father, a lazy older brother, a shrewish younger sister, and an arrogant little brother. The youngest sister, only six, is especially clever and scheming: the original story's “Golden Phoenix heroine.”

The whole family has eight hundred tricks up their sleeves as they fight over the pitiful scraps of food and money. The honest ones end up with nothing. Is that a tragedy? No, it's simply the way people survive when resources are scarce. But since Zhu Hui is here now, she refuses to accept that “the more hardship you can endure, the more hardship you'll have to endure.” She'll carve out a bright path for herself, no matter what.
