A Second-Generation Transmigrant's Everyday Life of Getting Rich Through Demolition [1990s]

[Tentatively scheduled to begin posting at the end of October]

Also known as: The Happy, Gossipy Daily Life of a Second-Generation Transmigrator and Her Parents from the Apocalypse After They Get Rich from Relocation Compensation

Everyone said Zhao Family Village was going to be demolished. By the fifth year, the news finally came.

The good news: The village is being demolished.

The bad news: It's Chengxing Village next door.

Zhao Family Village fell silent, while Chengxing Village erupted in celebration.

Demolition! We're rich!

When Cheng Jinan learned her home was going to be demolished, she felt no joy, only confusion. Who could tell her what the golden character [Fortune] floating in front of her meant? Colorful streamers were drifting down around it, accompanied by the sound of jingling bells.

Even more terrifying, she was the only one who could see and hear it.

Cheng Jinan screamed and raced home to find her mother.

"Mom! Mom! Mom! I'm going crazy!"

Her mother beamed. "After twenty-one years, you've finally awakened your superpower."

Cheng Jinan: "Huh?"

Her father was thrilled. "Sweetheart, you're so talented! You awakened a superpower without even being in the apocalypse!"

Cheng Jinan: "Huh??"

Superpowers? The apocalypse?

The good news: She's probably not going crazy.

The bad news: Her parents are weird, and she's one of those second-generation transmigrators!

Before the demolition news arrived, Cheng Jinan had just been through her company going under. Unable to pay rent, she'd been kicked out of her apartment, and her future looked bleak.

After the demolition news arrived, Cheng Jinan promptly returned home and began the ultimate lie-flat life.

A lie-flat life needs no explanation: she could snack, watch the show, sip tea, and use her superpower to dodge trouble.

The neighbor uncle divorces his wife for love? She watches the drama with a cup of tea!

An old lady gets scammed out of a million yuan? She munches on duck neck and is grateful her power helped her avoid a huge pitfall.

Her distant cousin gambles away his entire demolition payout? The character [Misfortune] hangs over his head, so she waves an ice pop and shouts, "Back, back, back!"

Someone comes to pay rent on an entire building? Oh, oh, come on in!

Life was already wonderful, collecting rent and enjoying the gossip, but Cheng Jinan never imagined it could get even better. Somehow, her abandoned dream had come true!

She twisted open a bottle of ice-cold cola. Listening to the bubbles burst and fizz, all she wanted to say was one word

Awesome!

Reader's Guide:

1. This story is set in a semi-fictional world. The demolition process differs from reality.

2. Her parents aren't apocalypse powerhouses. Their powers are pretty useless and can only be used in daily life.

3. The heroine doesn't transmigrate. This is a feel-good story about everyday gossip and watching the show, with a career plotline.

4. There is a male lead, but the romance comes later and he doesn't have much of a presence.
