    The protagonist transmigrates from the modern world to ancient times. His entire family are scholars, but the original owner of this body failed the imperial examination and died of a cold. He himself was a poor student. His father keeps a close watch on his studies, and when he's caught reading forbidden books, he's beaten half to death, implicating everyone at the academy. His only savings of eight taels of silver are confiscated, and he's repeatedly set up on blind dates, all of which fail because the suitors either dislike his lack of talent or his plain looks. One of his blind dates even falls for his own younger brother. Finally, someone takes a liking to him, but not only does she want him to become her son-in-law, but she also wants his family to use him against the county magistrate—what a cunning scheme!

    "Oh, Yingying's back? I told you not to come up the mountain. If you get a tan, what will you do? You'll regret it." "You're so pretty. We'll have to marry you off to the city someday, preferably someone who can get a government job, you hear me?" Zhang Yingying's mother, Wang Cuihua, said. Zhang Yingying recalled the original owner's personality, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm just worried that my sisters-in-law won't be happy. I'm already 16, and I do nothing at home every day, so naturally I can't be happy." "They wouldn't dare. They're the ones who call the shots in this family. As long as your mother is around, this family will never be able to turn things around." "If they don't want to, then let them all go home," Wang Cuihua said, throwing the wild vegetables she was holding onto the ground. "Mother, let's forget it. If others find out, they'll talk about me, and it'll be hard to talk about marriage then. By the way, Mother, it's so hot today. I caught a few crucian carp by sticking them up in the river. Take a look." Wang Cuihua looked at the three crucian carp with holes all over their bodies and smiled, "My daughter is really capable. She's better than some people. She deserves to live a good life." Zhang Yingying looked at Wang Cuihua and felt a little moved. In her previous life, her parents died early.
