Li Qiaomu, a top student in the twenty-first century, works herself to death while rushing to finish her thesis.
One day, she is reborn in the body of another Li Qiaomu in the 1980s.
Her enviable figure is gone, replaced by a skinny, flat body.
Before she can even wrap her head around being reborn, she discovers that she has ended up inside a book.
In the story, her new family are awful relatives who make the heroine’s life difficult.
And, of course, none of them get a happy ending.
Looking at their grim fate, Li Qiaomu is terrified.
Fortunately, Heaven hasn’t been entirely heartless: it has given her a golden finger.
Her man’s leg is injured? No problem. One drop of her spring water and it will heal right away.
Looking at their bare, empty home, Li Qiaomu puts her golden finger to use. She starts a farm, grows vegetables, and sells them across the country, becoming one of the first ten-thousand-yuan households of the 1980s.
