The Seventh Daughter of the Li Family

Li Tanjun died of a heart attack at the age of twenty-four. When she opened her eyes again, she was in ancient times. Before she could celebrate being reborn, she realized she had become the seventh daughter of the poor Li family, tenant farmers with no land of their own.

The family had no house, no land, no grain, and no oil. Li Tanjun nearly starved to death on her first day there, and soon realized that poverty didn’t come without a reason.

Her frail mother was pregnant with a bug fetus. Hungry ghosts stole all the crops growing in their fields. A corpse’s floating grease filmed the village well. A mute peddler hawked his wares with a baby’s cries. The scarecrow meant to chase birds away concealed the headless corpse of someone who had died unjustly...

When people get hungry enough, they’ll even want to eat ghosts. To keep herself from starving, Li Tanjun picked peach branches by the village entrance, borrowed dog’s blood at the village’s far end, stole red thread from the embroidery shop, and mooched black ink at the bookshop, fiercely defending the little land they had left.

Monsters and demons, bring them on! She’d beat them one at a time, and if two came, she’d cut them both down. Anyone who stopped her from farming and eating her fill would end up planted in the ground themselves!

Later, the young master from an official’s family who had grown up with her invited Li Tanjun to live in the capital.

Lu Yanzhang: Marry me. We’ll go to the capital and get married. I’ll never let you work so hard again. Your money will be yours, and my money will also be yours.

Li Tanjun: How dare you try to derail my path to enlightenment! I’m going to ascend to immortality with my fields!

Lu Yanzhang: I have twenty estates and four hundred mu of farmland in the capital.

Li Tanjun: Actually, I quite like you. When are we leaving? (Instant change of expression.jpg)
