You Congxi used to be a miserable wage slave. After dying suddenly from overwork, she transmigrated into herself in a parallel world.
In this world, she was terminally ill and had no hope of recovery. Unexpectedly, just one week after You Congxi transmigrated, her body began to regain its functions. And an even bigger surprise was still to come:
She inherited 770,000 yuan and two properties downtown from her aunt, each bringing in 5,000 yuan in rent per month.
She'd had enough of being worked like a beast of burden in her previous life. This time, You Congxi made up her mind to lie flat: she would spend all 770,000 yuan before going back to work.
No matter how short life was, there was no shortage of days to spend working.
She wanted to live in different places, see the palm trees of southern France, the great animal migration in Africa, and the aurora with penguins.
She also wanted to indulge her interest in cooking. She'd never had the time before, but now she had both time and money.
But why did her money keep growing even as she spent it?
Never mind the rent. Even if it was pure profit, she was spending money too.
First, the international student downstairs paid her to share meals, bringing in 500 euros a week.
Then the student's classmate came with an offer. Apparently, he was a rich young man from Italy, descended from nobility, with his own private residence in Paris's Eighth Arrondissement. He wanted to try "authentic Chinese home cooking," not the fancy, photogenic dishes made by hotel chefs, but actual "home cooking."
The young man offered 3,000 euros a week for three meals a day.
Knowing You Congxi disliked being tied down, hated working more than anything, and wasn't short of money, the international student turned down the offer for her.
You Congxi: "Huh?"
Her: "I love working! Let me take this job! Kid, don't cut off my source of income!"

The first time You Congxi met Gatto, he was a beautiful, spoiled brat with brilliant blond hair and emerald eyes. He was so particular and arrogant that he insisted on bringing his own mattress wherever he went, ate with Christofle cutlery, and said the most infuriating things.
When You Congxi brought Gatto back to China, he had become the "handsome, hardworking foreigner" her guests talked about at her bed-and-breakfast.
