   Reborn in the 1980s, the heroine transforms from a "peacock" who has been depressed for half her life to a cute 6-year-old girl! She accurately grasped the key points: awakening her grandma to take back her financial rights, stopping her uncle from sucking blood, persuading her father to give up the gray business and switch to transportation, and even selected the future school district housing and cultural tourism district bonuses when choosing a house. The setting is novel and not ridiculous, the family portraits have their own highlights, and the plot promotes big changes from small daily details. The more you go on, the better it gets. You can't stop!
