Rich heiress Lin Yao transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era.

As for her, she's the notorious jinx of every village for miles around.

A jinx? Lin Yao flexes her slender wrists. No way. She's the ultimate luck goddess.

She digs up ginseng in the mountains, finds agarwood in the river, picks up imperial banquet recipes in the trash, and has fearsome mountain beasts as her underlings. The heroine's golden finger is useless against her.

Years later, whenever the villagers talk about the Lin family, all they feel is envy. The Lin family is full of remarkable people: a real estate tycoon, an imperial banquet chef, a military officer, a scientist. They're all way out of reach for the villagers.

Lin Yao: Sorry for making you jealous. I accidentally turned them all into big shots!

The villagers can't understand why Lin Yao broke off her engagement with the young man from the capital. His father is the director of a state-owned factory, and plenty of people would jump at the chance to marry into that family!

What's so great about that silly boy from the landlord's family? Later, they discover the boy isn't silly anymore. His mysterious biological father has taken him away, and he's become a renowned general.
