The Blessed Girl Works the Fields, and Her Family Regrets It to the Core

The moment she opens her eyes, she’s back from the apocalypse.

Given a second life, Su Yanyan doesn’t want to repeat the path she took before. When her mother tries the same old trick of making her give her “good match” to her cousin from another branch of the family, she chooses to expose her affair with her uncle outright.

Then she swiftly cuts ties with her family and chooses her own destination: the Zhao household, where she’ll be a child bride.

Only, the Zhao family is even poorer than she imagined.

Her father-in-law has disappeared, her mother-in-law is all bluster and no substance, and her husband is good for nothing but his looks. On top of that, there’s a whole gaggle of hungry little brothers- and sisters-in-law.

To keep the family fed, she has to return to her old ways.

She grabs a woodcutter’s knife and heads into the mountains, then rolls up her trousers and wades into the river.

That’s when she realizes the family isn’t quite like the one she’d heard about.

Her husband isn’t nearly as useless as people said, and her mother-in-law isn’t as shrewish as they made her out to be. She’s even a wonderful cook.

Her young brothers- and sisters-in-law are all obedient and sensible, and they respect her as their eldest sister-in-law.

As the family’s fortunes improve, she even gets her unruly husband into the academy to study for the civil service exams.

The old rumors that she was a jinx collapse on their own, and everyone says she’s the Zhao family’s lucky star.
