Summary

Xu Ying'er, a modern woman, transmigrates into the body of a simpleminded girl in Xinghua Village during the Daliang Dynasty. The original owner of the body was struck by a stone thrown by a mischievous relative's child, Pei Xiaolei, and drowned, allowing her to take over the body and be reborn. Facing a home with nothing but bare walls and bullying from village brats like Lu Zigang, she relies on memories from her past life and a portable space to gradually establish herself, starting with catching and protecting fish, then farming and doing business, catching ghosts and exorcising evil, dealing with white lotuses and green tea bitches, and gaining love and growth through rural life. Ultimately, she lives out her life and returns to modern times, where she reunites with Xiao Chen, who shares the same name and appearance.

Editor's review

A typical female-lead transmigration farming wish-fulfillment story, with a brisk pace and humorous language; the space element is combined with farming and exorcism threads, suiting readers looking for light stress relief. Drawbacks: caricatured villains and obvious formulaic plot beats may feel thin to readers seeking rigorous logic and a weighty sense of history.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy ancient-setting farming fiction
Readers who prefer light, humorous wish-fulfillment stories
Readers who like transmigrating heroines overcoming adversity

Not a good fit for

Readers seeking rigorous historical research
Readers who dislike formulaic villains and overpowered setups

Reading tips

In the early part, note how the heroine uses her space and modern thinking to solve farm-family dilemmas
Note that the conflict between the Pei and Ying families is one of the main plot drivers
The ending's return to the modern era can be read as an epilogue-like closure; no need to force it to fit the main story's worldbuilding

About the author

Jizi Author

Jizi is an online-fiction author about whom little public information is available; two works are known, Jintian and The Emperor and Empress's Art of the Heart. Judging from the common categories, Jizi's writing centers on women's fiction and ancient romance, and the works are often grouped among premium ancient romance and premium fiction titles, suggesting a certain level of recognition among readers and on the platform. The titles themselves point in different directions: Jintian suggests a pastoral, everyday flavor, while The Emperor and Empress's Art of the Heart indicates palace intrigue and the relationship between emperor and empress, showing that the author is skilled at developing emotions and character entanglements against ancient settings. Since birth and death dates, nationality, and specific experiences have not been made public, biographical details remain unknown, and readers can only come to know the author's writing through these two works.
