When the Wind Rises in Changsha, I Know How the Fish Feel

Female Lead Introduction | Li Zhi'ang

An ordinary modern girl, she unexpectedly transmigrates to Changsha during the turbulent era of the Nine Gates and gets bound to System 8526, beginning a survival mission.

With no one to rely on and not a penny to her name, she endures a miserable life of wandering and sleeping rough. By a twist of fate, she is rescued by Qi Tiezui, the Eighth Master, and given a place in Zhang's residence as a quiet, hardworking courtyard gardener.

She's sweet and lively by nature, but forces herself to grow step by step so she can survive in a chaotic world.

Male Lead Introduction | Xiaoyu (Deputy Officer at Zhang's residence)

Zhang Qishan's personal aide, a young and composed male deputy officer with nimble skills, a restrained and decisive manner, and the cool, imposing air of a soldier.

He is taciturn, disciplined, and careful to keep work and personal matters separate. Utterly loyal to Zhang Qishan, he is ordered to guard the courtyard and keep an eye on Li Zhi'ang, the new gardener whose origins are unclear.

At first, he is on guard at all times, watching and recording her every move. Convinced that her identity is suspicious and her behavior strange, he even suspects she's possessed or plotting something.

Cold on the outside but attentive beneath the surface, he seems distant and stern, but is actually perceptive and exceptionally observant. As he spends every day stationed in the courtyard, watching her, he begins to feel something unusual despite her timid, flustered demeanor.
