Cheng Xin had strange dreams every night. In them, she was a highly paid professional in the 21st century who had transmigrated into a story set in a bygone era. She became the short-lived first wife of a future business tycoon, dying in childbirth after he cheated on her.

But in reality, she was a country girl who hadn't even finished junior high.

That was until the tycoon from her dreams stepped into reality and became her blind date.

In her dreams, the tycoon wore a sharp suit. Here, he had his trousers rolled up as he dug irrigation channels in her family's rice paddy. His military-green rubber boots sank into the mud, and his body was covered in grime and sweat. He looked every bit the farmer.

Thinking of how her story ended in the book, she finally couldn't hold back and asked,

"Comrade Geng, don't you want to go out and start a business?"

Geng Yunye straightened up and stopped cutting rice. "Wherever home is, that's where I'll be." The setting sun cast a golden glow over him, bringing back the image of him in her dream, brimming with confidence as he signed a million-yuan contract.

Geng Yunye was reborn to the time just after he left the army. Back then, everything was still normal. He hadn't left his hometown to start a business, and his wife wasn't suffering from severe depression.

Whenever his wife's cousin came near him, he sensed an unwelcome, prying gaze and felt a surge of revulsion. In this life, he wouldn't agree to let the cousin stay with them just because his wife cared about her.

In the agony of a car accident, Chen Ying heard a cold, mechanical voice: "Life force at zero. Conditions for parasitic luck appropriation met."

In a mud-brick house in 1982, she opened her eyes to see golden numbers floating above her cousin Cheng Xin's head: Luck Value: 100%. She had transmigrated into the cousin of the beloved heroine of a story set in a bygone era. The heroine had been cherished since childhood and enjoyed a happy marriage, while Chen Ying's current body had been neglected in favor of boys and was to be married off in exchange for her older brother's bride price.

With the System's help, she stole the heroine's luck. On the night she finally brought the heroine's Luck Value down to 10%, time suddenly returned to ten years earlier.

A little extra:

Cheng Xin began to question her life.

In her dreams, Geng Yunye was supposed to leave the village and make it big. Instead, he suddenly changed his mind and opened a factory in the village. In her dreams, she was a star lecturer at a foreign-language training center. In reality, she could read, but not write.

The village brigade was starting a literacy class, and Cheng Xin was appointed the teacher. When a student suddenly asked her a question, her hand trembled around the chalk, and she nearly made a fool of herself.

Late at night, Geng Yunye held her close. The small of her back pressed against the edge of the hard wooden table, and the heat rising from his chest warmed her. His hot breath swept over her sweat-dampened ear as he took her wrist and guided her hand to write bold strokes in the practice grid. "Don't cry. I'll teach you."

A few warnings:

1. The female lead is the protagonist. The memories aren't her own experiences. The transmigration into a book and the affair belong to the transmigrator's life.

2. The male lead is reborn. In both lives, the female lead is his only wife. They are each other's first love, and both are sexually inexperienced.

3. If you come across a plot point that seems questionable, trust that the author is a devoted romantic and loves her characters.

Theme: Live your own life well.
