Sang Zhaozhao, a female warrior from the apocalypse, transmigrated into a story set in a bygone era and became a not-too-bright, twenty-year-old country girl.
She was stupid and poor, with two leech-like younger brothers brought by her stepmother and a younger sister who served as her foil.
She worked herself to the bone to earn money for her brothers' weddings, but they treated her like a servant and beat and berated her every day.
When she finally got the chance to be helped into a factory job, her younger sister stole it, along with the man she liked.
Even the village children made up a song to mock her: "Meow, meow, find Zhaozhao. Zhaozhao's not home, she's a big fool!"
As if that weren't enough, she was eventually going to be tricked by a jerk into becoming his money-making tool???
Sang Zhaozhao: Hmm... Sounds great. At least I'll have food!
From then on, the Sang family had a lazy young woman who slept until noon every day, then sat in the doorway sunning herself with a foxtail grass stem in her mouth after meals.
Work? Look after the younger kids? Be the family's servant?
Not happening! When Empress Zhen Huan Sang Zhaozhao didn't feel like moving, even Zhen Huan herself couldn't make her.
That was until she nearly drove the whole family mad. Her stepmother resorted to her final trick: marrying her off to the team leader's son, who was on his deathbed, to bring him good luck.
Sang Zhaozhao thought about it. Hmm... Sounds great. At least I'll get meat!
On their wedding night, the man who was supposed to have breathed his last suddenly sat up. "Hello, Sang Zhaozhao!"
Sang Zhaozhao, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, nearly choked to death. "Are you a person or a ghost?"
Gu Shaohan snatched her chicken leg and took a bite. "I'm tired and want to lie flat with you. You don't mind, do you?"
After that, the Sang family discovered:
Sang Zhaozhao and her husband were kicked out and made to live in a thatched hut... Happy √
Sang Zhaozhao and her husband turned the thatched hut into a gorgeous garden cottage... Not happy ×
Sang Zhaozhao and her husband bought the village's first bicycle, sewing machine, and television... Not happy ×
