With an Encyclopedia in Hand, I Farm My Way to Fortune During the Famine

Song Zhaodi accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a man. Her fiance, who already had a lover, seized the opportunity to break off their engagement and even demanded the return of the betrothal gifts.

Grandma beat her chest and stamped her feet. "I told you girls were money sinks! I'll never be able to hold my head up again."

Song Zhaodi went berserk on the spot. "You old money sink, if you can't hold your head up, stick it between your legs. What's the big deal? And forget this damn name Zhaodi. I don't want it. From now on, I'm Song Xingchen."

Everyone said, "The eldest daughter of the Song family has water in her brain. She's gone mad!"

Her fake best friend challenged her. "It takes two to tango." Song Xingchen immediately slapped her. "How about now? Did that make a sound?" The meek little sheep who used to put up with everything had turned into a shrew. She could argue even when she was in the wrong, and when she was right, she would never let anyone off the hook.

Her motto in life: None of your business, none of mine! Get rich, spot fake nice girls, and crush scumbags.

A relative sneered at her. "Your reputation is so awful. Why don't you hurry up and get married?"

Song Xingchen rolled her eyes. "You're so old. Why don't you hurry up and die?"

The next day, the village bully came to propose to Song Xingchen.

Everyone thought Song Xingchen was in for a miserable life. They all waited to see her beaten and scolded by the bully, then cast aside.

They waited and waited. They watched Song Xingchen go from never having enough to eat to enjoying fish and meat at every meal, from a leaky thatched hut to a house with gray-brick walls. They even saw the bully, Shen Che, kneeling with his head down while Song Xingchen twisted his ear and lectured him.

Even crazier, the bully Shen Che became a great general, while the shrew Song Xingchen was granted a First-Rank Lady's title!

Everyone said the heavens had handed Song Xingchen a living.

Song Xingchen: Of course! With my lucky-koi constitution and my encyclopedia golden finger, isn't it only right that I live a good life?
