Transmigrating to an Ancient Fishing Village: The Daily Road to Prosperity

[Blurb]

Zheng Yu's husband ignored her pleas and went out to sea to fish. Who could have guessed a storm would really hit, and that he would never return?

After the storm passed, the villagers organized a search for two days. All they found was a badly wrecked boat, half capsized. Her husband was nowhere to be seen, dead or alive, so they could only work together to haul the boat back.

By the time Zheng Yu woke up, the world had already turned upside down. The woman whose body she now inhabited had died, leaving her a whole string of problems.

Two starving, scrawny children huddled by the bed, calling her Mother with tears in their eyes.

Her birth family came by and told her to get ready to marry again.

This life had a truly disastrous start.

Fortunately, she had a strong heart. Even better, her powerful golden finger, the Water-Repelling Pearl, had come along with her.

Better to rely on herself than anyone else. In her previous life, she had grown up by the sea. Orphaned young, she had used her family's ancestral Water-Repelling Pearl to breathe underwater as easily as on land. With her fishing skills on top of that, she had lived a life envied by everyone for miles around.

She might have to work hard in this life, but even if she couldn't become rich and powerful, at least she wouldn't have to worry about food or clothes!

Zheng Yu sent her birth family away, cleaned up the house, and made a meal for the two children. Then she patched up the fishing boat, climbed aboard the wreck,

and headed out to sea!

Shen Langping was the young master of Yongfu Restaurant. He personally inspected all the restaurant's ingredients, and his sharp tongue spared no one. He could always buy the fishermen's best seafood for rock-bottom prices.

Then he ran into Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu was even more ruthless than him when it came to bargaining.

So Shen Langping lost every time. Whenever he bought her catch, he ended up fuming, but her fish and shrimp really were large, fresh, and clean. The restaurant's business even improved thanks to them.

Shen Langping secretly vowed that one day he would get the better of her.

He could stew in his frustration all he liked. Zheng Yu didn't even notice.

Before he could come up with a way to win one back, he saw Zheng Yu arrive at his restaurant with two children. His heart skipped a beat. He was just about to ask if they were her younger siblings when the children called her Mother.

Well, not only had he failed to win even once, he had lost his heart too. She already had a family.

* The golden finger lets her breathe underwater

* A cozy, everyday story of gathering seafood, going out to sea, raising children, and cooking

* Female lead, no male-female romance; a story of someone falling for her on his own
