The Gu family was the biggest landowning family for miles around. For generations, they had been miserly, making thrift part of their family motto. They never imagined that all their penny-pinching would produce a wastrel who seemed to have a disease that would kill him if he didn't spend money. He gambled, drank, and chased women every day, spending money like water.
In just a few short years, the only son of the Gu family squandered all their wealth. He even gambled away more than a thousand mu of land, nearly making Old Master Gu spit blood in rage.
The following year, famine struck and the land yielded nothing. Everyone thought the Gu family would starve to death, but who could have guessed they would feast on delicacies every day?
By the time the People's Republic was founded, the landlords had all been brought down. Only then did everyone realize that having a wastrel in the family was a blessing from their ancestors.

Gu Songjin was a notorious spendthrift. In just a few years, she had blown through everything her parents had built up. Unexpectedly, she woke up in a different body and became the only son of a major landowner in the 1940s.
She couldn't stand seeing money in her family's coffers, so before the famine hit, she exchanged the family's more than a thousand mu of land for grain and cloth. Seeing the family with nothing left, she was delighted.
