Xi Er, the Plump Farm Girl

In her first life, Fu Xier was an ugly duckling in an orphanage, growing up under the disdainful stares of others. Yet she always believed in the story of the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan. She lived to the age of twenty-eight with a face of incomparable ugliness, and had only just begun her first romance when she discovered that her boyfriend was a scumbag. After he cheated her out of her money and her virtue, leaving her with nothing, his cruel words shattered her completely. Only then did Fu Xier understand that storybooks were lies. An ugly duckling would always be an ugly duckling, no matter how much it changed. But just as she came to that realization, the scumbag ran her over and killed her. In her second life, Fu Xier became the beautiful swan of a mountain village. No one in the whole village could rival her beauty. Her family was poor, but their love made her feel like a princess. Seeking power and riches, she turned down the position of wife to a well-to-do man in the village and eagerly entered a marquis's household as a concubine. Only after entering did she learn what it meant to step through the gates of a marquis's mansion and find a sea of misery. How could a country girl raised in the countryside compete with a scheming white lotus who had grown up steeped in intrigue? Her sky-high ambitions led only to humiliation and a loss of dignity. In the end, the white lotus framed her, had her beaten thirty times, and drove her out of the estate. When Fu Xier returned home in disgrace, she learned that her family, who had always doted on her, had all died of plague in the second month after she became someone else's concubine. Even as they lay dying, they had never stopped thinking of her... Overcome with grief, Fu Xier took her family's memorial tablets, shaved her head, and spent the rest of her life as a nun in a Buddhist temple. But when she opened her eyes in her third life, she had returned to the day before she transmigrated into her previous life! Heaven had been kind to her, even granting her a pocket dimension and a spirit spring that could cure every illness and neutralize every poison. Now she no longer had to worry about her father's leg injury or her younger brother's congenital condition! Starting over, Fu Xier vowed to stay true to herself, keep away from scumbags and white lotuses, and live a quiet, honest life! Life just kept getting better, but she was still missing a husband... Hey, hey, hey, this young man is quite handsome. You, then! Run again and I'll force you to marry me! ... As she happily prepared for her wedding, her “ex-husband” from her previous life suddenly showed up again, intending to steal the bride! Fu Xier grabbed her grandfather's cane. “Take this, my Seventy-Two Forms of the Dog-Beating Staff!”
