Wen Jia, the head of a publicly traded corporation, was treated with suspicion by her parents from childhood.
One day, she transmigrates and becomes the ill-fated supporting character who dies young in a story set in a bygone era.
The original owner had her assets stolen by awful relatives and was so thin she was barely recognizable. Her life was even more miserable than Wen Jia's.
Having been given a second life, Wen Jia plays the fool while secretly keeping her wits about her, leaving everyone in the village completely bewildered.
In an era when people don't even have enough to eat, she awakens a talent for farming.
Thanks to this talent, Wen Jia's savings grow by the day, and she gradually makes herself plump, fair, and radiant.
The villagers looked down on the Wen family, but then they suddenly discovered that the family had produced a top-tier beauty.
They couldn't sit still, and rushed to the house one after another to ask for matchmaking introductions.
The Wen elders counted the money, grinning from ear to ear, while the original story's heroine, Wen Jia's cousin, pointed out the richest drunkard and told Wen Jia to hurry up and marry him.
Wen Jia knew that if she did, she'd face domestic abuse and death.
No one expected the seemingly meek, delicate Wen Jia to put up no resistance at all.
She simply pulled out a bankbook without a care in the world--
The balance was greater than the savings of the entire village!
Wen Jia: Thanks, Cousin. If you like him, you can marry him yourself.

Song Xuting and Wen Li were the two men in their regiment everyone knew not to mess with.
One was a young master whose family connections were so powerful that even the highest-ranking officer in the regiment couldn't hope to match them. The other was the young master's sworn brother.
One day, the usually unruly Wen Li suddenly started bawling and asked for leave to go back to his hometown. When he returned to the regiment, he insisted on introducing Song Xuting to a woman for a blind date--
The girl, he said, was his long-lost younger sister, Wen Er Ya, and she was apparently very good at farming.
Seeing Wen Li acting like an unreliable, overprotective brother and hearing the old-fashioned name Wen Er Ya, Song Xuting firmly turned him down.
Much later, when the regiment's crops repeatedly failed and more than a thousand people couldn't get a single bite of vegetables, Wen Li brought over his sister, the one who was so good at farming.
Those withered seedlings came back to life right before their eyes in his sister's hands.
Even the political commissars above them were taken by surprise, and came in person to present the young woman with an award.
But the moment Song Xuting saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Wait...
Wasn't that Wen Jia, his fiancee from his previous life in the twenty-first century?!

Years later, a crowd of reporters competed to interview the owner of one of the country's leading listed fruit and vegetable companies.
Someone asked, "Ms. Wen, when you married into the Song family, was it their full support that helped you build your business?"
Wen Jia smiled and said nothing.
The Song family, young and old, were all beside themselves.
Before the doting husband Song Xuting could say a word, the Song family's famously stern old master gave an official response to the whole country at a conference thousands of miles away--
"What nonsense. We're the ones who owe all our success to our darling Jiajia."
