Raising Seafood in the 1980s

Gu Ningxiu was a sea king.

A real sea king.

Because her family owned the rights to a small stretch of ocean.

Every year, the seafood harvested from her family's waters could circle the globe twice.

One day, on a whim, she wanted to show off her silver spoon to a clueless blind date, so she took her phone and headed to her family's fishery.

Trying to cultivate the image of "I'm so rich I look down on your family's measly assets," she slipped and was swept away by the waves at her own fishery...

When she opened her eyes, she discovered she hadn't drowned. Instead, she'd become a notorious old maid in a small fishing village in the 1980s.

Faced with a penniless family and younger siblings as thin as sticks, Gu Ningxiu looked at the boundless ocean outside.

It was time to show off a sea king's skills...

The Gu family's problem child had suddenly decided to start aquaculture, and the people of Sanshan Village, who had relied on the sea for generations, were all abuzz.

What a pipe dream!

Before long, Gu Ningxiu showed them what it meant to have "the skills to rule the world!"

Don't believe sea cucumbers can get that big? Then you clearly haven't seen Gu Ningxiu's fishery.

Looking for abalone with such a fine appearance? Just look for the Sanshan Village brand!

Never tried Sanshan pearls? Then your life is incomplete!

The people waiting for Gu Ningxiu to make a fool of herself: ???

Gu Ningxiu, who'd been slapped in the face so many times by the village Party secretary, a "fool" who'd been happily fooled from beginning to end, rubbed her hands.

"Come to the capital with me and see our home?"

Chen Wanli, a bridal coach for wealthy families, had always known that one day the heavens would strike her down.

She just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

One moment, she was helping a student deal with her cheating fiance and win back her freedom. The next, a bolt of lightning struck her and sent her into a period novel.

She became the heroine's half-sister, who shared the same father.

She was the sort of person the heroine couldn't stand, and was about to be set up and married off.

Would Chen Wanli, who had helped her students break up countless marriages, really let herself be married off to someone she didn't want?

What a joke!

She slapped her backside and walked off, putting plenty of distance between herself and trouble as she got to work doing what she did best:

"Listen, big sis, you're all part of the same family. Who says it has to be the woman who gets beaten?"

"Little sis, even if you're going to be sold, keep your eyes open and make sure you end up in the right family!"

"Auntie, who says you can't go to school just because you're old? Night classes are ready, and the halls of knowledge are waiting for you!"

The women now living warm, fulfilling lives gave her a thumbs-up: "Officer Xiao Chen is amazing!"

Those who'd had their plans ruined and were now grudgingly sent off for reform gritted their teeth. "What's so great about a women's director?"

As soon as the words left their mouths, someone put an arm around their shoulders.

Even in a formal suit, Lin Tan, the city's famous "reformed playboy," still looked like a good-for-nothing, his face full of menace. "My wife is amazing!"

Chen Wanli, who was fretting over a funding shortfall, saw him spreading rumors again and shot him a glare. "Who are you calling your wife?!"

Lin Tan held up this month's company revenue statement, hiding his smiling face behind it. "Then should I leave?"

"...Get back here!"
