Zhu Yuqing is about to inherit a fortune worth hundreds of billions when her cousin sabotages her, sending her into a novel set in the 1970s as the universally disliked, ill-fated supporting female character.
Her father died and her mother vanished when she was born.
Her uncles took turns adopting her, and whichever family she lived with was struck by bad luck. Even the big yellow dog at the village entrance had suffered because of her misfortune.
Zhu Yuqing refuses to believe in fate or submit to it. She forcefully turns things around, using her unlucky constitution to help others avoid disaster in advance.
She helps her eldest uncle escape a calamity and save his legs, earning him a promotion to captain of the Fourth Production Team.
She exposes the fake friendship between her second older female cousin and her best friend, helping her cousin avoid sabotage and find true love.
She persuades her younger aunt to generously feed a begging child, earning a reward from the child's father: her work points double that month.
The villagers soon notice that whichever family Zhu Yuqing stays with manages to avoid bad luck and find good fortune.
The whole village launches into a frenzy of home renovations, all hoping to have Zhu Yuqing stay over for a night.
Chen Yi is the educated youth every young woman in the village wants to marry.
He's handsome, well-read, and sincere toward others. Everyone in the village likes him.
When the renovation craze begins, the villagers see him rushing around with no time to fix up his own house, so they eagerly offer to help.
Chen Yi has watched Zhu Yuqing turn her life around from the sidelines, so naturally, he doesn't believe in any of this.
As Zhu Yuqing happens to pass his doorway, Chen Yi thinks to himself that she's quite the schemer, having bewitched the entire village.
He politely turns down the well-meaning villagers. "As long as you're happy, I'm not getting involved."
But before long, he has to eat his words.
Zhu Yuqing takes shelter from the rain beneath his eaves and catches, with her bare hands, the venomous snake about to attack him.
Chen Yi's face flushes and his heart races on the spot.
The world's splendor vanishes from his sight, leaving only Zhu Yuqing, bold and dashing, swinging the snake around like a rope.
As soon as the rain stops, Chen Yi gathers his friends, wishing they could build his new house that very day.
Watching villagers: "Didn't you say you weren't getting involved, and that we could just be happy?"
Chen Yi cries out at the top of his voice, cracking it: "Zhu Yuqing is the apple of my eye, the flesh of my heart! I'm building her a castle!!"
