She cleverly pulls out a magical spring from her spatial dimension and drinks it like tap water. During a famine, she cultivates grain on thousands of acres of black soil, trades antiques and calligraphy, and thrives whether she returns to the city or the countryside. The most incredible thing is that her portable spatial dimension has a built-in time-flow function, allowing her to multiply the value of goods, gold, and treasury bonds a hundredfold. Every time she encounters danger, a benefactor appears out of nowhere. While digging for wild vegetables in the mountains, she unearths a thousand-year-old ginseng with a single stroke of her hoe. Even the things she picks up casually are antiques. Villains who cause trouble are always struck by lightning, and she even manages to kick gold nuggets while walking.

    Having read for over a decade, I'm truly tired of it all. Often, even books with captivating summaries only manage a chapter or two before I give up. This book, however, immediately drew me in with its title, and the first chapter was enough to draw me in. As I read on, I grew to love it more and more, laughing and crying alongside the Jiang family as they gradually went from bitterness to happiness. It was wonderful; bad people deserve their punishment, and after enduring so much suffering, even a little warmth is all the more precious. Their only wish was for their entire family to be safe, healthy, and well. They were determined to eliminate anything that might threaten this goal. I despise those "saintly" characters who forgive everyone after achieving their goal, as if all the past suffering never happened. I've found that being a villain is much more comfortable than being a good one; as long as you're happy, no one else matters.
