Blurb:

Leng Zixi transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the good-for-nothing legitimate third daughter of the Jingnan Marquis's household. All she wanted was to live a lazy, carefree life.

The third young lady had a father who was useful as a tool, a gentle mother, and a sickly younger brother. On top of that, the System kept urging her to grow “crops.” Third Young Lady: Looks like I can't be a lazy fish after all.

What to do? Roll up her sleeves and get to work!

She had a golden finger. Plant a medicinal herb on a whim, and it could beautify her, worth a fortune.

Plant a pumpkin casually, and one planting would yield pumpkins for the rest of her life. The pumpkins could even cure illnesses.

Plant a fruit tree, and it would bear fruit twelve times a year. She could eat as much as she wanted every day and sell the leftovers at the fruit shop.

Life couldn't be more delightful!

But what's the deal with the young heir of the Duke of Ying?

Why does he keep coming over? Does he want her medicinal herbs or her pumpkins?

Little scene:

Young Heir: The Third Young Lady likes making money, so I'll hand over my little treasury.

Young Heir's Father: Guard against fire, thieves, and your own son. Save up the family fortune to hand over to your future daughter-in-law.

This story is also known as The Max-Level Expert Transmigrates into a Good-for-Nothing Legitimate Daughter.

She Xiaoguo, an economics PhD, woke up in the 1980s. From the start, her sexist grandmother wanted to sell the school admission she had worked so hard for years to earn, using the money to get a wife for her useless cousin, a man with delusions of grandeur and no ability.

The original owner was timid and easy to bully. Though furious inside, she could do nothing and was about to agree, half crying and half giving in.

She Xiaoguo, who had just transmigrated: ???

No way. Not even a chance.

In the 1980s, computers were not yet common and the IT industry had not taken off. The prospects for growth were excellent.

She Xiaoguo gazed at the fertile, undeveloped land before her, her eyes shining.

She Xiaoguo, kicking one awful relative after another: It's my turn to put on a show.jpg

Everyone noticed that She Xiaoguo, the one in the She family whom anyone could poke or scold, had changed. She suddenly switched into top-student mode, skipped grades and got recommended for admission. Before she even graduated, she began conducting scientific research, setting off a wave of technological advances and forging a bright future through her own efforts. One research breakthrough after another...

Everyone: ???

A golden phoenix had flown out of a rural backwater. She Xiaoguo's outrageous relatives were dumbfounded. The people who had once looked down on her now smiled until their faces were like chrysanthemums whenever they saw her, doing everything they could to curry favor and hoping she would give their families a hand.

Grandmother ordered: Find your cousin a job too, one just like yours. Sitting in an office every day, not tiring, and still getting paid.

Her parents asked for money, saying her little brother needed to go to school and needed living expenses.

Even distant relatives with no real connection to her brazenly came asking for favors.

Facing a whole crowd of distant relatives looking for handouts and outrageous family members, She Xiaoguo said, “My recommendation is that you start dreaming. It'll be quicker.”

Seeing that She Xiaoguo was determined to cut ties with her family, the She family panicked:

“You're still one of us. Where would you be today without us?”

“It was my motherland that raised me.” Faced with their emotional blackmail, She Xiaoguo remained unmoved.

“I am willing to devote my life to serving my country.”
