    Positive review (o^^o) Synopsis: Reborn in 1949, Lin Mei became the daughter of an ordinary farmer's family in Linjia Village. Beautiful but useless (not cut out for great things), double-standard and selfish (not refined, what's the point of being refined in that era), lazy and greedy (not cunning, just not smart enough). At age 3, she discovered a lucky baby in the village and obtained a magic pill for having a child from a female protagonist in a fertility novel during a New Year's visit; at age 6, her whole family moved to the county town, and she got a job in a cannery and received government rations; during a famine year, she set her sights on the female protagonist of Pinduoduo and survived the hardship; female protagonists from gossip novels, male and female protagonists from military marriage novels... One "protagonist" after another appeared around her.

    1. The female protagonist, Huang Xingrou, transmigrates to the 1970s. After graduating from high school, her family buys her a job in the propaganda department of her cousin's factory. This shouldn't be read as a story set in a normal historical period; consider it a fictional story. I think the cost of buying a job is too high; 1500 yuan for an office job seems expensive, doesn't it? 2. In modern times, she dies from exhaustion while studying for the civil service exam, and is reborn in the 1970s, successfully securing a stable job.
