I Went Back to the Village to Retire After Leaving the Wealthy Family, and Became a Hit

Yun Shu transmigrates into a wealthy family's adopted daughter in a novel.

The female lead is about to return, and Yun Shu will go from a rich young lady to a country bumpkin, becoming the foil who exists to make the female lead look better.

In her previous life, she was so busy making money that she died before she could enjoy any of it. In this life, all she wants is a leisurely retirement.

Without hesitation, she packs her bags and returns to the countryside, to a fishing village by the sea.

There, she happily lies flat by the shore, enjoying the sea breeze and sunshine every day.

One day, she finds an injured, unconscious man on the beach.

He is as handsome as a prince stepped out of a comic, with cool, pale skin and wet black hair. Several streaks of blood mark the defined lines of his waist and abdomen, his beauty dazzling and decadent.

Yun Shu looks him over for a while, then carries him home.

A production crew comes to the seaside and rents the villa next door to Yun Shu's, planning to film a dating reality show there.

The guests include celebrities as well as successful professionals from all walks of life. Among them are the female lead, who has returned to the wealthy family, and Yun Shu's former fiance. The female lead arrives arm in arm with her fiance to stake her claim and laugh at Yun Shu for being kicked out of the family.

At someone's direction, the production crew specially adds a segment featuring ordinary people, inviting Yun Shu and the man she found to appear on the show.

Yun Shu: ? I even came all the way to the countryside to avoid this kind of foil plot. Why can't I escape it?

When filming begins, Yun Shu and the man face the cameras, one expressionless and the other awkwardly nervous.

Production crew: Please introduce your ages and occupations.

Man: ... I-I raise fish.

Yun Shu: ... I'm retired.

Man: I'm over ten thousand years old.

Yun Shu: Forever eighteen.

Netizens: What the heck???

Outdoor fishing segment:

The other guests work themselves to the bone and fail to catch a single fish. Meanwhile, the man beside Yun Shu casually casts a net and hauls in a boatload of rare deep-sea fish.

Cooking segment:

The other couples all have the female guests cook for the male guests. Yun Shu, on the other hand, lounges in the courtyard, sunbathing while the male guest cooks for her in an apron.

Talent-show segment:

The popular young male stars strain to sing in fake high voices, flipping their bangs and posing with greasy swagger. Across from Yun Shu, the man sings softly and gently, his heavenly voice astounding the whole crowd from the first note.

Gift-exchange segment:

Yun Shu hands him a shell she picked up on a whim.
