[A gossip-loving "good kid" x a proud beauty who says one thing and means another: starts in the residential compound, later follows the army]
Lu Doudou thinks she's kind and friendly, and that she's the good kid praised by all the neighbors and relatives.
Until one day, when she goes to gossip with her cousin, she suddenly hears her cousin's thoughts.
[Why does this awful relative who comes here to mooch off us every day still not go to the countryside? So annoying!]
It turns out she's living in a book, as the female lead's awful relative: sharp-tongued, petty, and shameless!
Lu Doudou is confused. Lu Doudou is bewildered. Lu Doudou suddenly understands!
Go to the countryside? That sounds great! Answer the nation's call. Labor is glorious!
She packs up and waits to be sent to the countryside, only for her mother to give her a good beating and shove her into the factory's publicity department.
On her first day at work, she hears the thoughts of her usually hardworking coworker: What should I eat for lunch? What about dinner? And tomorrow? Yay, another day of slacking off is over.
On her second day, she hears the thoughts of the department head, a skilled writer: So annoying. Whoever wants to write this garbage publicity copy can do it.
On her third day, she hears the thoughts of the head of logistics next door: I've got this month's industrial coupons saved up again. Why doesn't anyone want them?
Lu Doudou perks up. Here comes the gossip!
And so...
Lu Doudou's draw-a-recipe menu becomes a godsend for people who can't make up their minds.
Lu Doudou's publicity copy is a huge hit and gets submitted to the provincial office.
Lu Doudou modifies a bicycle, making bicycles all the rage and industrial coupons impossible to find.
Lu Doudou...
Lu Doudou becomes the most popular darling at the machinery factory!
Lu Doudou: Of course everyone loves me.
Until she meets the son of Auntie Liang, who lives upstairs.
She hears his thoughts:
First thought: "That ugly girl still isn't married?"
Second thought: "Oh, maybe she's too ugly for anyone to want her."
Lu Doudou: ???
Major General Liang of the Fifth Military Region is famously hard to approach. He's handsome, capable, and has a bright future ahead of him. Plenty of people have already pegged him as their future husband or son-in-law, but after a trip home to visit his family, he returns with a wife.
Everyone assumes Major General Liang must have been forced into marriage, and waits to see him make a fool of himself.
But within days, all kinds of rumors are flying around:
Major General Liang rushes home from work every day to cook for his wife.
Major General Liang turns down all kinds of social engagements, saying his wife keeps him on a tight leash.
Major General Liang gives up a chance at promotion because he can't bear to leave his wife.
Major General Liang...
Everyone: ??? That vixen!!!!
Lu Doudou, branded a vixen, lies in bed with her aching waist and tears in her eyes: Handsome men are my downfall!
