Blurb: Zhao Xiaorou is the daughter of the Zhao family and the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. She is gentle, considerate, virtuous, and capable. Everyone who knows her gives her a thumbs-up: "Xiaorou is such a good person!"
The kind Zhao Xiaorou fell into a river while washing the whole family's clothes in the middle of winter and fell ill. When she woke up, she'd lost her memory and gained a superpower: she could hear a narrator explaining what was happening!
Wait, what's a narrator? How does she know that the mechanical voice chattering in her ear is a narrator?
Never mind. That's not important.
What's important is that Zhao Xiaorou realizes there's something wrong with her.
Everyone says she's kind, and the narrator says she's selfless. But when she sees delicious food, she wants to eat it all herself. When she hears a child crying, she wants to kick them into the air. She wants to punch her husband, kick her in-laws, and throw her parents, younger brother, and younger sister into the river.
Zhao Xiaorou ponders: I must be sick.
I'm sick, so why won't you indulge me? Why won't you let me eat something nice? You're all being so unreasonable! I can't rest until I've beaten you up!
Husband and in-laws: Is that what you call eating something nice? You borrowed money to buy good food! You're up to your ears in debt!
They're so angry they want to give Zhao Xiaorou a good beating.
The good news: Zhao Xiaorou is incredibly good at fighting.
It's just like this: Her husband and in-laws wipe away their tears, begging Xiaorou to hurry up and leave. Her parents and siblings line up on their knees, afraid she'll lose her temper.
Later, everyone who knows Zhao Xiaorou says: "Ever since she fell into the river that day, Xiaorou's gone crazy! Not only does she love beating people up, she's also incredibly greedy!"
Zhao Xiaorou, whose memories have already returned: ...No, I just transmigrated into a collection of stories set in the old days. Come to think of it, there's so much delicious food here! I'm going to eat and eat and eat!
This is the story of a post-apocalyptic woman who loses her memory and transmigrates into the female lead of a period novel about a saintly, self-sacrificing woman. She enjoys good food and reforms her awful family members, who earn money to support her.
