After waking up, Lin Xiaqing finds herself a village girl in the 1980s. Her biological father left to help develop Xinjiang and disappeared years ago, while her hardworking mother has become a free blood bank for their huge family.
Lin Xiaqing earns money while studying for the university entrance exam, determined to seize the opportunities of the times. A comfortable, modestly prosperous life sounds pretty good to her.
Who would have guessed that one day her maternal grandmother would come knocking? It turns out her mother is the daughter of a distinguished family who was lost to them. Lin Xiaqing moves back with her grandmother to a little red house on a historic street and becomes the heir to a villa.
Lin Xiaqing gets into Jing University. One day, a renowned research expert is hired from Xinjiang to a neighboring department. He is said to be a pillar of the nation with countless patents to his name, and in reality, he is incredibly wealthy.
When Lin Xiaqing sees the handsome, middle-aged man stepping out of a Hongqi sedan, she is stunned. Why does he look exactly like her?
Not long afterward, Lin Xiaqing solves the mystery. The new research expert at Jing University is her biological father, who disappeared twenty years ago. He has lost his memory and has no recollection of ever having a wife or daughter.
Meanwhile, her mother has recently reunited with her childhood sweetheart and is considering finding her a stepfather...
When Jin Yang meets Lin Xiaqing, he's driving an imported Crown 122 he brought back from Hainan. His car gets rear-ended, and a local gangster beats him badly enough to land him in the hospital.
A young man from a prominent Beijing family has gotten into trouble in Hexian County. The county's bigwigs are all on edge.
Jin Yang thinks the mother and daughter in the next hospital bed are a real feast for the eyes, like something out of a painting.
The young woman in the next bed cares for her hospitalized mother, and also helps him bathe, cuts his hair, buys him comic books, and makes him Russian soup.
After he is discharged, Jin Yang realizes he can't stop thinking about her...
Jin Yang's family pressures him to go on a blind date. His prospective match is said to come from a distinguished family and be exceptionally talented and beautiful. She's the stepdaughter his uncle's old army buddy just gained.
Jin Yang immediately comes clean: he's already fallen for someone, so there's no way he's going on that blind date!
His family frowns when they hear the girl is from the countryside. When they learn she grew up without a father, they frown even more deeply.
Jin Yang sweeps a hand out, pushing aside the photo of the prospective match his family offers him.
Wait, why does the girl in the photo look exactly like Lin Xiaqing?

Theme: Finding happiness in this world
Ah, I paid for the full subscription (it should be full subscription, otherwise there is an anti-theft stamp), and the ending is a bit anticlimactic. The problem of the original father, which has been laid out for a long time, is summarized in a few hundred words. It should be a fun one, but it doesn't work on the idea... The branch line is not very developed. I don't know if there is an extra chapter that can wrap up the story, but I still feel that the extra chapter is not as comfortable as the main text. Alas... It's just so-so. I'll see if there are extra chapters then. Alas.
I didn't feel happy, I just felt embarrassed. There were so many people, and I couldn't hold down one person. Let her keep slandering the heroines. Those who knew how to do things would have been kicked out and raped her family members.
The heroine in these chapters has really fallen short of her standard. She has to have means but no means, she has not enough eloquence, and she has not enough heart. She is not like the strong woman in her previous life who was very clever in means.
Let them live miserable lives for the rest of their lives to atone for the sins of the original owner, mother and daughter.
It doesn't matter if you take leave, your body is important, but! ! ! What does it mean that there are only a few chapters left to finish? Why do I feel like I just started
The ending is too hasty and a lot of things could be explained in detail in just a few sentences. It is completed for the sake of completion, which affects the sense of reading.
[Orange Candy] I got it, so Daddy Zha and Bai gave birth to a daughter.
No. . . Does her biological father only care about his wife and children being separated? Where is his mother, father and sister? It's nothing to lose contact with your loved ones for 20 years, right? Moreover, his father left and he was never seen for the last time. . .
The wedding has been messed up like this because she wants to become someone else's talking point. I hate this eldest sister so much.
Will it be over when Xiaoxia goes to college? You can write more, don't rush to finish it.
