Summary

Modern woman Tian Ye wakes up reborn in the 1970s in Shanggang Brigade, Hebei, as an orphan whose parents both died and whom the villagers see as "hard-fated and kin-killing." She is born with extraordinary strength and is also bound to a game-like portable space. Her family has some modest property that the villagers covet; to protect it and find shelter, she schemes to take in Zhu Lao'er, a quick-witted young man from the same village, as a live-in son-in-law. After marriage, the two cleverly deal with village gossip and various schemes, support each other, and go from being marginalized to gradually establishing themselves in the village through hard work and wisdom, turning their days into what the villagers call a "family treasure."

Editor's review

This is a typical long rural rebirth power-fantasy novel. Its appeal lies in the authentic recreation of 1970s rural atmosphere, the thrill of the protagonist's reversal through super strength and a space, and the bickering daily life of Tian Ye and Zhu Lao'er, a "sharp-tongued wild girl paired with a scheming local man"; the family and neighborhood dramas are written vividly and lively. It suits readers who like slow-paced farming-life novels, rural backgrounds, and sharp-tongued, hilarious styles. The shortcomings are that it is extremely long with many trivial daily-life plots, the early pacing is slow, and readers seeking strong plot and fast pacing may drop it midway.

Reading tips

  1. Focus on Tian Ye's neighborhood interactions with the Zhu family; experience rural human warmth through the wall-listening episodes
  2. The first few dozen chapters have a lot of setup; read patiently through the opening before seeing how the protagonist takes in a live-in son-in-law and establishes the household
  3. Treat it as a daily companion read and read slowly at a chapter-by-chapter pace rather than trying to binge it all at once
