Synopsis
Academic prodigy heroine versus reborn characters. (Synopsis at the end.)
Meng Yuan, who was constantly bogged down by performance reviews, closed her eyes and opened them again to find her dream had come true! A house, land, and a spacious courtyard. No overtime, no evaluations, no business dinners.
Surprised? Delighted? Happy?
Just as she was imagining a wonderful life of picking mushrooms in the mountains and catching fish in the river, she suddenly discovered that her family was the cautionary tale in a period novel:
A notorious family of lazy, poor peasants who were good for nothing but eating.
Compared to the lucky heroine and the highly educated male lead, her family had become the village's unanimously agreed-upon "mud that can't be made to stick to the wall."
In this era, when the winds of reform were sweeping across the land, who said her family couldn't become the pride of Daying Village?
Meng Yuan clenched her little fists, brimming with determination. The first step toward changing things was cleaning up their home!
Faced with a courtyard covered in chicken droppings and swarming with flies and mosquitoes, Meng Yuan, who had always been a clean freak, couldn't help taking a step back.
Was she really going to chicken out and give up?
No! She still had the strongest golden finger in history!
Looking at the tall figure sweeping the courtyard, Meng Yuan smiled until her eyes narrowed.
Whether in the twenty-first century or the 1980s, Li Qing'an was her "invincible golden finger."
Watch as the two of them work hand in hand and build a prosperous life!
Strong and Self-Reliant in the Nineties, ongoing
As an undisputed prodigy of the 1990s,
prospective college student Yu Qing'an is clever, hardworking, filial, and sensible,
the very picture of the "other people's child" everyone praises.
Her life should have gone smoothly, but why has it become so full of twists and turns?
Her cousin, who was reborn, has her eye on Yu Qing'an's future child's father and his limitless prospects.
After he rejects her, she decides Yu Qing'an is in her way and schemes in every possible way to ruin her.
Her senior schoolmate, also reborn, is determined to replace her as a rising star in scientific research.
But lacking talent, he resorts to all kinds of emotional manipulation and promises of kindness to make her do what he wants.
With a reborn cousin in front of her and a reborn senior schoolmate behind her,
Yu Qing'an, fed up with the trouble, can't understand it.
They could achieve success through their own hard work,
so why do they insist on climbing over other people to get ahead?
Who says she has to follow their wishes and give everything of herself to others?
A true academic star never bows to fate!

After finishing the story, I led the new readers into the alleyway. Author: "Come here, I've got a real treasure for you~" The readers obediently followed, waiting with curiosity. She furtively pulled a book from her pocket: "Striving for Self-Improvement in the 1990s". Author: "This is a story I'm currently serializing, a different flavor within the same series! You'll definitely add it to your collection, right? Right, right~" The reader nodded trustingly. Author: "Could you at least click the author's follow button?" (A stern threat) Reader: "... No way!" Author: "Waaah, please just accept one~" (He lunges, slides, kneels, and hugs her thigh in one fluid motion)
I'm curious, after they wore those clothes... Did they engage in any sexual activity together?
The male lead's body type, even without fat covering his muscles, is likely to regain its shape (I saw this while watching a video).
Hooray! The new story is also super good!
You can bookmark this completed story and read it later!
Mutton Sauerkraut My mouth is watering, I'm so hungry!
I feel like sauerkraut can be used to stew any kind of meat, and it tastes delicious no matter what; the broth is even good for mixing with rice!
Finally, an update! I've been waiting forever!
I was too scared to bite into Jinliwang because I felt like I'd hurt my teeth.
I glanced at the update date. See you again someday. It's so tough being a fan!
