A Spoonful of Republican-Era Life

Zhang Niannian used all the savings from the first half of her life to support her ex-husband as he started a livestreaming company. Little did she know he was a scumbag who had hooked up with one of the company's young streamers. Depressed and worn down, she finally decided to divorce him and posted proof in a breakup-and-divorce group on a certain bean-themed site: If I ever get involved with that scumbag again, may I be torn to pieces!

She couldn't keep her word, and the oath came true.

She went hiking on Mount Hua with the scumbag on Tomb-Sweeping Day and fell off the mountain.

She transmigrated by accident to the Republican era, when Jiangsu and Zhejiang were fighting over Shanghai and the first war broke out. The world was in chaos, and her life was in danger at every turn...

Burdened with the 200 silver dollars her missing mother had left unpaid, she arrived in Shanghai and stumbled into show business.

She ended up sharing a room with a C-list star who couldn't go a day without stirring up trouble.

Then she met a handsome, gentlemanly, worldly and wise man who kept finding ways to give her money and was so good to her he'd gladly give his life for her. She thought Heaven was making up for the heartache she'd suffered before she transmigrated. Just as she was about to tear through the veil of ambiguity and confess her feelings, he revealed his identity, scaring her half to death. She came to a conclusion:

There is no man in this world who would "love me as much as he loves his own life."

Unless he's...
