Blurb 1:
Whenever the summer heat rolls around and people eat watermelon, Tong Jiayue is a hot topic everywhere.
The world's number one watermelon queen! From a poor country girl to a billionaire!
Her hilarious interview videos are watched over and over by countless netizens (as a form of self-torture).
Reporter: "I heard this year's Huaguo Good Cop, who moved the nation, is closely related to you?"
Tong Jiayue: "He's my uncle."
Reporter: "What about the crosstalk comedian who appears on the Spring Festival Gala every year?"
Tong Jiayue: "He's my uncle."
Reporter: "And the hottest stand-up comedian?"
Tong Jiayue: "He's my uncle too."
Netizens: ... [Shocked] Why does she have so many uncles?
The reporter presses on: "What about the person in that viral video, the one who beat his own son with a fire poker and said he'd already made a will leaving his tens of millions to his niece? What's he to you?"
Tong Jiayue: "Oh, him... he's my uncle too!"
Netizens: ... I'm so jealous I'm about to throw up. What kind of god-tier uncles are these? Can I have one? Just one, please! I'm not jealous of your billions, I'm just jealous of your uncles. [Dog's head undergoing plasmolysis]
The reporter takes a deep breath: "The tech tycoon sitting below the stage waiting for you, is he your uncle too?"
"Oh, no." Tong Jiayue smiles faintly and adds, "He's my husband."
Netizens: ... He could still be your uncle!!
Sob! We just spotted a super handsome guy on camera, and now we're already heartbroken!!
The reporter asks again: "How did you meet the handsome, wealthy tech tycoon?"
Tong Jiayue smiles again. "My uncle was the earliest investor in his company."
Netizens: ... So, after all that, what I'm missing is an uncle!!!
Tong Jiayue hears this and corrects them: "No, what you're missing isn't an uncle, it's a good grandpa. My grandpa is the person I love most in the world. Not my uncles, and not my husband either."
The netizens wave eagerly: Uncles, look at me! Husband, look at me! It's me, I'm the one who loves you most!
Blurb 2:
Tong Jiayue was raised by her grandpa.
She went to the fields with him and grew watermelons with him.
Selling watermelons didn't bring in much money. Her grandpa was poor and couldn't afford meat.
In summer, her grandpa always got up early to find cicada nymphs for Tong Jiayue to eat.
Her grandpa cursed the parents who abused her, sold grain to pay her tuition, and put her through college.
After she started earning money, even buying her grandpa something small earned her a scolding. He'd say she was wasting money and didn't know how to save. That was the only time he'd ever scold her.
Tong Jiayue wanted to earn more money so she could take good care of her grandpa, but he suddenly passed away before she could see him one last time.
Her second uncle said that when Grandpa died, he was clutching a bankbook. It was the money Tong Jiayue had sent him. He hadn't spent a single cent and had saved it all for her.
But Tong Jiayue didn't want that money. She only wanted her grandpa to be alive.
In a daze, Tong Jiayue found herself back in the 1980s.
Her young grandpa stood beside her in worn-out clothes, holding half a bowl of cicada nymphs. "Jiayue, eat them while they're hot."
Dedicated to my beloved grandpa, whom I can never see again.
Theme: Work hard and strive forward
It has nothing to do with Jiayang, I just think Wen Yuhua is really disgusting. Even the Tong family members are sick. I think he is the only one who is sick. This kind of man is still in a high position and his morals are not worthy of his position.
I know Jiayang is sorry for Jiayue, but Jiayang's husband is too disgusting. I think her ending can be bad, but there is no need for this... Ugh, it's so uncomfortable to watch.
It was really painful to watch. The main culprit for what happened to the heroine when she was a child was her father and her grandparents. Her uncle and aunt are not good people either! When you don't have children, you want other people's children. When you have children, you send other people's children back. And when the heroine was being beaten, none of the five adults, including grandparents, uncles, aunts and fathers, could stop her? Especially the heroine's father, who doesn't dare to stop you and holds the heroine in his arms, so why does he let the heroine suffer so much alone? In the end, the heroine's mother regretted it to death, and everyone scolded her. Although the heroine's father also regretted it to death, everyone including the heroine's grandfather also felt sorry for him for failing to teach his daughter well. How come these grandparents, uncles and aunts can still live a good life, and live a good life by making money from the heroine!
(???) If the heroine finds out that Wen Yuhua is like this, she will be so heartbroken that she will die.
It's so disgusting, Tong Jiayang actually married Wen Yuhua
You deserve it. Those with vested interests should stop pretending to be innocent. Jia Yue was so miserable in her last life.
Jiayang is really pitiful. She is also a child. It is understandable that she does not dare to stand up for her sister. Why give her such an embarrassing ending?
Ah? Is this the end of Jiayang?
Hey, if you don't like the heroine's sister, why didn't you say a word to her sister at that time? How can a person like this live so well? Why? It's so annoying to watch. I'm really spending money to be angry.
If you follow your father's surname Wen, why can't you follow your mother's surname Tong? [Rolls eyes] It's my mother's Tong but not my grandfather's Tong. Isn't this the same truth? I'm so speechless.
