Shen Baoxian transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder female character in a martial arts novel. In the book, she is raised to be naive and sheltered from the ways of the world. In the end, her husband, who married into her family, takes everything she owns, leaving her with a tragic fate that makes readers sigh with pity.
To avoid following the same path as in the book, Shen Baoxian refuses to remain a pampered young lady confined to the rear courtyard. She tries to take a hand in the family business, but her status as a woman holds her back at every turn. The clan puts pressure on her father to adopt a male heir from within the clan to inherit the family business, and to marry her off.
One rainy night, she accidentally saves a young man dressed in Miao-style clothing.
Shen Baoxian has just recognized the Miao youth as the book's main villain when she hears him, feverish and unconscious, mumbling, “Hungry... So hungry... I really want fried chicken and cola... Boohoo... I want air conditioning...”
Shen Baoxian: “...A fellow traveler?”
Hua Qingya comes from a Miao village in modern-day Yunnan and is the only inheritor of the village's “ancient art” of raising venomous insects.
In his third year of college, he wants to return to his village for an internship, but his grandmother drives him out of the mountains and tells him to make a living down below. An accident transmigrates him to ancient times, where he knows no one and doesn't speak the language. To make matters worse, he runs into bad people and nearly dies in a strange world.
Just as he's on the brink of death, a rosy-cheeked little girl saves him. He's about to thank her when she looks at him with a complicated expression and says, “A bottle of palace jade liquor...”
Hua Qingya: “...One hundred and eighty yuan a glass.”
P.S. The male and female leads both transmigrate. They find comfort in one another in another world and save each other.
Theme: Facing hardships together and supporting one another.
