    I like to watch it three times. The transmigrated woman is forced into a marriage of convenience and raises fish; I return to a life of ease and success. The transmigrated woman is incredibly daring, constantly pulling off unexpected moves, even creating a scenario where her father marries into her family and she becomes rich overnight. It avoids the cliché of the silly, unresolved family squabbles, but it does have the plot of the old house catching fire and the mistaken marriage happening just in time for spring, plus the emotional turmoil of "he gave in for half his life, and I wasted the other half." It's very good.
