Blurb: [Dedicated Farming + Rural Life in the 1970s + Golden Finger + Getting Even]

Story highlights:

1. There will be plenty of farming and agricultural details, including clearing uncultivated hillsides, plowing and sowing, harvesting rice, drying grain in the summer, and weaving bamboo baskets.

2. The golden finger won’t be too powerful. It will only provide a little help, and the male and female leads will create wealth mainly through their own hard work.

3. The story will take a close look at rural life and the day-to-day interactions between neighbors, including the riverside washing spots that serve as the village’s “gossip hotline,” the production team office where work points are recorded, the fiery tempers of rural women, and villages fighting over their borders.

4. While farming, she’ll take fierce revenge on the scumbags who made her life miserable in her past life. And there’s more than one of them.

5. Neither the male nor the female lead is perfect.

When her father is promoted, Zhao Xiuwen thinks moving with her family to the city will bring her a wonderful life. Instead, it marks the beginning of a tragic fate... Her family goes from being envied city folk to public enemies, and she loses her life as a result.

Only after death, when she becomes a ghost, does she discover that the mastermind behind everything was her dear best friend, Lu Xiufen.

Lu Xiufen envied her for having loving parents, for being beautiful, and for getting to move to the city and live like a young lady... So after Zhao Xiuwen moved to the city, Lu Xiufen faked a marriage with Zhao Xiuwen’s former fiance and snatched the “golden finger” from her former mother-in-law. Using the “golden finger,” Lu Xiufen made connections with a wealthy family in the provincial capital, became the wife of an official, and ruined Zhao Xiuwen’s family.

When Zhao Xiuwen opens her eyes again, she has been reborn on the eve of moving to the city. Lu Xiufen is doing her best to persuade her to give up her childhood engagement to Liu Runjun, enthusiastically painting a picture of the wonderful life waiting for her in the city... At this point, the “golden finger” is still in the hands of her future mother-in-law, while Lu Xiufen is just a pitiful girl whose father doesn’t care about her and whose mother doesn’t love her, and who has to live at Zhao Xiuwen’s home.

Fine. Since she’s been reborn, she’ll settle every score and take revenge on everyone who wronged her!

And she’ll win back the fiance who loved her his whole life in her last life, and was even willing to let his soul be obliterated for her!

After getting the golden finger with ease...

Why does she have to steal cow dung to make it work?

Steal cow dung?! Not even a dog would do that!

No, no, no! I’ll do it!

She has a golden finger, so why does she still have to clear land? Why do her palms get blisters after just a couple of swings of the hoe? Why do the bean sprouts she spent half a month planting get ruined by a single downpour? Why are the field mice bigger than cats?

This is infuriating! When will she finally be able to make her fortune?!

Coming soon: 1. I’m the Female Dorm Supervisor in a Sports School Boys’ Dorm, a sweet older-woman-younger-man romance. Please add it to your favorites!

2. She Transmigrates to Shenzhen in the 1990s to Work on an Assembly Line. Please add it to your favorites!

[A selfish female landlord who only wants to make a fortune and buy land at first, then gets a government job and lies flat VS a shy technical worker who has no ambitions at first and only follows his parents’ orders, but later dares to break free of his shackles and follows the heroine’s lead]

Ren Di, an older single woman, transmigrates back to the 1990s and becomes Ren Laidi. From the start, she faces being forced into marriage by her extremely sexist parents. The reason? Chunchun, the butcher’s stupid son, has taken a liking to her. He’s willing to pay a generous bride price and even agrees to get her younger brother an urban household registration. When she refuses, they lock her in a cowshed and tie her to a tree outside, where Chunchun is free to grope her...

The Qing Dynasty has been gone for ages. How can parents this infuriating still exist?

They’re not even her real parents, anyway!

Ren Di pretends to give in, finds out where her family hides its money and household registration book, then persuades the original host’s mother to demand an even bigger bride price from Chunchun the butcher. Then she takes all the money in the house and runs off to Shenzhen, where business opportunities abound, to work on an assembly line.

A great old man has drawn a circle around Shenzhen and penned a new chapter in the city’s history. It’s the perfect time to make a name for herself. Thinking about what housing prices in Shenzhen will be like in the future... The real Ren Di could never afford a home and would have to squeeze into a cramped urban village where the sun barely shines. Now that life has given her a rare chance to start over, she has to work hard!

With her past experience as a summer temp, working on an assembly line should be a piece of cake, right?

She gets up early and works late, doing the work of two people on her own. She pesters the line supervisor for extra piecework to boost her income, uses her old memories to develop new toys and earn bonuses, and learns to operate a sewing machine for better pay... Plenty of older women get jealous of her high wages and complain about her to the workshop manager. They even try to frame her and get her fired. So she’ll just broadcast every story about them stealing toys, fabric, needles, and thread from the factory, along with the indecent scenes they put on in the dorms, workshops, and cafeteria, over the factory loudspeakers.

When people hear she’s working herself to the bone to buy land, they all say she’s crazy.

Only the shy older guy who repairs the assembly line comes to ask her every day, blushing bright red, whether she needs to borrow money. He says he’s saved up quite a bit for his future wife.

Big brother, since you’re so kind, generous, and clever, I’ll take you along on my journey to success. As it happens, I need someone to tutor me in math.

She works hard to earn money, buy land, and build tall buildings, studies seriously for the college entrance exam, and goes to university and takes the civil service exam... In the course of striving for success, she discovers that the shy technician, who turns out to be very good at cursing, is a pitiable “brother-supporting demon.” Behind him stands a selfish, biased, mean, and unreasonable mother who drives him to give up a good job at home and leave his hometown.

Just as she thinks her revolutionary friendship with the shy guy is about to blossom into romance, her awful future mother-in-law starts throwing her weight around under the pretense of being sick, demanding that she hand over her entire salary! She even wants to take over the apartment building Ren built to fulfill her dream of becoming a landlord and give it to her eldest son!

People live long enough, and they’ll keep running into awful people!

What a load of delusional nonsense!
