A Wealthy Family's Rise: The Luxurious Life of a Country Girl

In her previous life, Tang Guo was the legitimate daughter of the Tang clan, a woman who loved money more than life and was famously known as the “Little Money-Hungry Pig.” Then one day, she transmigrates. Looking at the scene before her, the woman twitches her mouth and is left utterly bewildered. What on earth is going on? A skinny little bun is wailing for his big sister, rain is pouring through the melon hut, there's a three-legged stool, an old wooden bucket full of holes, a chipped porcelain bowl... Her hand trembles, her eyes roll back, and she faints spectacularly. When she wakes up again and sees the melon hut is still the same old melon hut, she lets out a long sigh. Why couldn't I just die and go back? After sighing three times, she remembers that she's still alive, and figures she can get by anywhere. Only then does she decisively accept the fact that she's transmigrated. With an empty stomach, she lies spread-eagled on the haystack and rummages through her memories... The Chenxing Dynasty, the sixth year of Emperor Chen Sheng's reign, the third day of the third month. Tang Family Village. Tang Guo is still called Tang Guo. Her parents have both passed away, leaving her a poor little farm girl, alone with her younger brother. They live without enough clothes to cover themselves or enough food to fill their stomachs. She has a terrible uncle on her father's side and a shameless younger uncle. They drove her parents to their deaths, seized her family's property, and even schemed to kill the two little orphans. The Little Money-Hungry Pig is furious. She'll show no mercy: those scumbags have gone too far. The Little Money-Hungry Pig points angrily at the sky. “I'm going to make money! I'm going to make lots and lots of money, and bury those heartless scumbags in it!” One day, the Little Money-Hungry Pig flies into a rage: With one hand she swings her fist at the villains, while with the other she holds up a little abacus made of pure gold, from who knows where. As it clacks away, she hums, “Give back what you took from me, spit out what you ate, pay back what you owe, and hand over what you stole...” With her clever mind and ruthless money-making schemes, the Little Money-Hungry Pig accidentally becomes the richest person of her generation. The more silver she has, the more villains appear, and even more suitors come swarming around. Scene One: Lin Baixiu points to the ten carts of gold, silver, jewelry, and fine silks behind him, his eyes sparkling. “Guo'er, marry me, and all of this will be yours.” The young woman twists her handkerchief and bites her lip, looking conflicted. Lin Baixiu's eyes light up, and he presses on. “A venerable monk told me our birth charts are a perfect match. You bring me good fortune, and I bring you good fortune. We're truly made for each other.” The young woman secretly scoffs. How could I not bring you good fortune? The money I've made at fifteen is already worth more than your whole family. But she puts on a shy smile and stammers, “I... I'm only fifteen.” Lin Baixiu smiles knowingly. “Some people already have children by the time they're fifteen.” The young woman is speechless. “Uncle, you're thirty-five.” “Uh, so you think I'm old?” Lin Baixiu is annoyed. “I'm handsome and charming. How am I an uncle? I don't look a day over thirty-five.” “Mm, you don't...” “Just a little older than my father...” “Pfft...” Everyone collapses in laughter. Hmph, picking a fight with me? I'll laugh you to death. Scene Two: Dongfang Qi gazes at Tang Guo with infatuation and says arrogantly, “Guo'er, I'll grant you the position of secondary consort. Will you marry me, the Crown Prince?” “No.” The young woman answers without a second thought. “Hmph, you have to, whether you agree or not. There's nothing I, the Crown Prince, can't get.” He snorts, certain of victory, then waves to the two guards waiting nearby. “Take her back!” Before the guards can move, a gust of cold wind blows by. The young woman is already holding a dagger to the neck of the arrogant pig, playing with it. “You dare attempt to murder the Crown Prince? I'll have you...” The young woman snorts with disdain. “Say one more word, and I'll have your blood spilling all over the ground in an instant.” Scene Three: Dongfang Mo asks, “Guoguo, when are we getting married?” Hmph. Thinking of how this enchanting man has been pretending to be a fool all along, the young woman feels like crying. Oh, heavens, what did I do to deserve such an outrageous fool? I only accidentally kicked him so hard he nearly died, and when he woke up, he was a fool. But haven't I been feeding him well and giving him everything he needs? What more does he want, what more... “What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours. You'll have money, power, and a man. That's three wins in one. What do you say?”
