Tian Yueshui transmigrates into a poor family in a fictionalized version of the 1980s. Only after living there for a while does she realize this is the world of a feel-good historical novel she's read.
The sinister and volatile tycoon in the original story, who has severe self-destructive tendencies, is the cheap son this family bought to carry on their family line.
The big shot, Fang Chengye, refuses to accept his lot. After recovering his memories, he escapes this poor backwater and uses his brilliant mind and ruthless methods to turn his life around, becoming a wealthy and famous businessman.
After seeing the truth of her fate, Tian Yueshui silently glances at her own frail little body, malnourished from years of not getting enough to eat...
On one side is a promising future tycoon who will turn into a dragon when the storm comes. On the other are heartless parents who might sell her to an old bachelor for food at any moment. Even a fool knows which to choose!
So she begins secretly watching the big shot's every move.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, Tian Yueshui stuffs two ears of corn she'd hidden away into her pockets and happily follows the lean figure as he slips out...

Fang Chengye escapes Tianjia Village at night, unaware that a sneaky little shadow is following him.
He sleeps outdoors along the way. When he feels a warm presence beside him in his sleep, he wakes with a start and discovers a thin, yellow-haired little girl in his arms.
The little girl blinks her big, black eyes and timidly pulls two roasted ears of corn out of her arms. "They're warm... Big brother, eat."
"..."
Amid a warmth he hasn't felt in ages, Fang Chengye frowns coldly. "Tsk. What a nuisance."
But Fang Chengye, who has always been cold-hearted and gone his own way, never expected that this frail little girl would stay by his side all the way from a life of hardship to one of comfort and plenty.
His feelings gradually shift from dislike to longing. It's just like that damp, dim night years ago. He was ready to wake up frozen, but unexpectedly found himself holding someone warm. After that, he could never let go.
This is a sweet and satisfying story about a little girl in need and a big shot who depend on each other, going from having nothing to having everything.
The male and female leads are not related by blood and are not registered in the same household. They are five years apart in age, and the romance is strictly one-on-one.
This is a fictionalized historical setting, and everything serves the plot, so some details may differ from real history. Please understand.
