Ye Zhiqiu woke up to find herself inside a period novel she'd abandoned halfway through reading.
She had become Ye Er Ya, the hapless cannon fodder whom the heroine used as a stepping stone.
In the original story, the girl had her job opening and her boyfriend stolen, then ended up homeless and died a miserable death.
Ye Zhiqiu: Fine. First things first, stay alive.
But she soon realized something was off...
She went for a casual walk in the mountains and stepped right into a patch of ginseng.
She went down to the river to wash her hands, and a ten-jin fish jumped right onto the bank.
She went to the state-run shop to buy salt and happened upon a huge clearance sale of defective goods.
She picked up a stone by the roadside, and it turned out to be a piece of rough jade.
Ye Zhiqiu: ...This luck is a little ridiculous, isn't it?
She decided to quietly make a fortune and stay away from the troublesome original heroine, Ye Zhixia.
Then the border battalion commander, barely mentioned in the book, showed up at her door. "Comrade, the organization has arranged for us to go on a blind date."
Pei Xingzhou, 189 centimeters tall, the youngest battalion commander in North Xinjiang.
Usually cold-faced, taciturn, and aloof, he once walked ten li through a blizzard in minus-thirty-degree weather just to bring her a bowl of hot soup.
Ye Zhiqiu: That wasn't in the book!
Pei Xingzhou: It wasn't in the book, but it is in my heart.
I can only say that it's so-so. The heroine is neither active nor passive. It feels weird. I can't even describe it. I also felt a sense of frustration while watching it🤦
