Zhi Yi was originally a minor character in a book who had died twice. She wanted to make something of herself and take her mother away from her abusive father.
Instead, she transmigrated into the future mother-in-law of the male lead in the 1980s!
Whoever wants to be this mother-in-law can have the job. All Zhi Yi wants is to find her mother while she's still a little girl, and swear to pamper her like a princess.
So she left the glittering, decadent city of Lan and came to Ping'an Village, the poorest place around and her mother's hometown.
She knew the village's poverty would only be temporary. One day, it would become a wealthy village envied by the whole country, and a retirement haven for powerful figures.
So, while the entire village looked at her like she was a fool, Zhi Yi opened a Western restaurant and adopted the village's most pitiful little girl at a high price, spoiling her rotten.
Some people coveted the wealth she let show. Others lusted after her ravishing beauty. In the end, they all disappeared.
Just as rumors spread through the village that she was a jinx, a few good deeds she'd done on a whim landed her in the newspaper, and she became famous.
The girl student she'd sponsored passed the imperial exam and became its top graduate. The old woman she'd helped up and sent to the hospital was the mayor's mother. The couple whose business she'd encouraged became rich overnight. Even the reporter who interviewed her fell and ended up in the hospital on the way home, where she discovered she was the long-lost daughter of the richest man in a neighboring province.
In no time, she went from a mysterious seductress to a lucky star everyone respected. First, a table at her Western restaurant became worth a fortune. Later, whenever she went out, the roads she passed were littered with people trying to fake accidents for money. Young men of talent and distinction came calling to ask for her hand in marriage, one after another.
Zhi Yi began to worry that the jealous man in her family would lose his mind. She heard he'd recently bought a plot of land and planned to start a funeral business.
As for who he wanted to bury, Zhi Yi figured that as long as it wasn't her, she'd be fine.
A friendly warning:
1. There is a male lead, a lovesick, possessive puppy.
2. The heroine has been poor for too long. All she wants is to make money and raise her mother's little girl.
