Life in the Fields

A fat woman from the twenty-first century transmigrates into the body of a hefty widow in ancient times. She has a father-in-law and mother-in-law above her, and two little children below her. Her parents' bodies are frail with age, her children look at her with desperate, hungry eyes, and her neighbors offer sympathy to her face while laughing at her behind her back. Their bleak situation, along with their advice that a woman in her twenties marry the sixty-something Wang the Hunchback, finally spurs her to pull herself together. Watch her thrive both in the drawing room and in the kitchen! Raise silkworms and reel silk? No problem! Hoe weeds in the fields? No problem! Take care of the elderly and children? No problem! Handle relationships? No problem! Go out to trade with a small set of scales? No problem! Open a teahouse and restaurant? No problem! Watch a rural woman, dismissed by everyone as lazy and gluttonous, fat and stupid, grow into a remarkable figure who outshines all her neighbors. Watch how the fat woman of the past fills her belly not with fatty meat, but with knowledge and learning. Watch how a widow who once attracted no suitors wins the man of her dreams through her own charm. Watch her smile with the strength and radiance of a lotus in the mountain village lanes and fields!
