Office drone Gu Yexi is busy as a dog all day long.
One morning, she wakes up sleeping on the legendary heated earthen bed of Northeast China.
She hasn't been reborn or transmigrated into a book, and she has no memories of the original owner's background.
The moment Gu Yexi opens her eyes:
Her nephew asks her to go dragonfly-catching with him.
Her mother tells her to buy two jin of maiden fruit.
Her father calls her "the youngest one."
A southern girl born and raised in the south, Gu Yexi is close to tears. "Can you all please speak normally?"
Having no idea where the story is headed, Gu Yexi prepares to be a pitiful punching bag.
To her surprise, the original owner was her parents' darling, adored by her older siblings and spoiled rotten by her family.
Her parents had previously found her a suitable family to marry into, but Gu Yexi didn't like the match. Her parents personally went to break it off and serve up a full-on face-slapping.
Gu Yexi picks up a mop, ready to do the housework.
Her eldest brother snatches it away. "Women don't have much strength. Go rest. This little bit of work will take me no time at all."
Where else could she find a life this good? Gu Yexi decides to lie flat and cause no trouble.
No job, cooking delicious food, growing flowers and plants, and turning her hobbies into a career.
The neighbors: The Gu family spoils their daughter rotten. Their youngest girl doesn't even have a proper job. Let's see who'll marry her.
The next day, eligible young men crowd the Gu family's doorstep, arriving with gifts to propose. "Comrade Gu Yexi, you're hardworking, clever, and innovative, and you've helped laid-off workers find new jobs. Please marry me. I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."
The neighbors: Damn, she gets all the good things in life.
Theme: Face adversity and live positively.
