    Absolutely classic. A transmigrated woman is forced into a marriage of convenience and raises fish; I return and win effortlessly. The transmigrated woman is incredibly resourceful, constantly pulling off amazing feats, even managing to make her father marry into the family and she become rich overnight. It avoids the cliché of the silly, unresolved family squabbles, but it does feature the story of a house on fire, a wrong marriage that happens just in time for love, and the emotional turmoil of "he gave in for half his life, and I wasted the other half." Very good.
