Flowers Bloom in Every Season

Some say that everyone is given a fixed amount of blessings by Heaven. Use them all up at once, and there’ll be none left for later. They say the same goes for luck: everyone gets a set amount, and the more you use now, the less you’ll have in the future. Shan Xiaokui has lived two lifetimes without good fortune or good luck. She prays to Heaven that this time, her life will be like the flower garden outside her house: plum blossoms in winter, lotuses in summer, orchids in spring, and chrysanthemums in autumn. Flowers in every season, always in bloom, with spring in every season. P.S. This is the story of a modern fruit grower and amateur flower farmer who struggles to make a life for herself after being reborn as a poor orphan in ancient times.
