   🌴Jiang Si was born with fair skin and a beautiful, radiant appearance. Unexpectedly, she woke up to find herself transmigrated into a period novel, becoming the daughter of a famous capitalist in Shanghai. In the original story, she disliked her military officer fiancé for being taciturn and lacking in romance, and worried about the scarcity of resources and harsh living conditions on the island, so she hesitated to fulfill her engagement. However, what she didn't know was that after a storm, her scumbag parents tricked her into going to the countryside, and then ran off to Hong Kong with the Jiang family's vast fortune. Poor Jiang Si was left alone in the countryside, suffering hardship and exhaustion, her health collapsing in less than two years. Knowing the plot well, Jiang Si declared, "Suffering? No way!" They wanted to trick her into going to the countryside? Fine! Jiang Si turned the tables, packing up all the ungrateful family members and sending them to the southwest. No place for her vast fortune? No worries! After Jiang Si performed the blood test to confirm her kinship and unlocked her ancestral space, she took all the gold, silver, property deeds, antiques, and paintings—leaving them with absolutely nothing! A capitalist's daughter with nowhere to go? Not at all! Jiang Si sent a telegram to the island, but despite being prepared for a frugal life, she discovered that life on the island wasn't as tough as she'd imagined. Her officer husband was both elegant and capable, and her in-laws doted on her. Life was sweeter than honey!

In the first book, the "family-loved" dynamic stems from their wealth; the female lead and the original owner of the body swap bodies, leaving each other large sums of money and receiving care, each possessing their own "golden finger" (cheat code). In the second book, the female lead is the youngest, and unlike typical transmigration stories, she was a baby before and after her transmigration, retaining her past life's superpower. However, she's incredibly obedient and quite amusing when it comes to food. The third book focuses on the female lead's family; she's not a transmigrator but a genuine infant with a book in her head. Initially, her values ​​are shaped by the book and her sister, but later, her parents and brother distort them. The fourth and fifth books are more traditional, and the author's writing is quite good.
