Her reborn cousin looks down on the chaotic courtyard life, focusing solely on marrying up to become a wealthy lady.
Her uncle, with his honeyed words and a venomous heart, deceived the original Lin Yao with promises of a hefty dowry, using her to replace his own daughter in marriage.
In the 1950s, when food and clothing were scarce, Lin Yao, who ended up in the crowded courtyard by a twist of fate, was actually delighted.
Her father-in-law is a Level 5 machinist earning sixty-five yuan a month, her mother-in-law is an advanced worker at a state-owned pig farm, her sister-in-law is the head of a supply and marketing cooperative, and her husband, who’s serving in the army, isn’t home. The entire family genuinely cherishes Lin Yao, treating her like their own daughter.
Moreover, Lin Yao has a space supermarket at her disposal. Every day, she enjoys red-braised pork and bone broth—her life is practically heavenly.
When her husband returns home from the army, Lin Yao finds herself facing a cold, handsome soldier with sharp features...
Face-loving Lin Yao: "Yes, I can definitely work with this!!!"

Lin Hongna has been reborn. In her previous life, she married into the crowded courtyard and spent her whole life envying her cousin.
Despite her cousin's timid personality, she managed to marry into a good family thanks to her pretty face. After the reforms, her cousin's husband went into business and became a wealthy merchant, allowing her cousin, with her average skills, to live a life of luxury.
But Lin Hongna married Gu Shi'an, a soldier from the courtyard, and couldn’t bear the loneliness, eventually finding a lover. This led to her being kicked out and living a miserable life.
Upon rebirth, Lin Hongna seizes the opportunity. After throwing tantrums and threatening su*cide, she finally convinces her family to have her cousin marry into the courtyard in her place.
She then successfully pursues the man who was her cousin's husband in her past life.
As she eagerly anticipates becoming a wealthy lady and watching her cousin suffer, she instead witnesses her cousin leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard. Gu Shi'an, now the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, looks tenderly at her cousin while squatting in the courtyard, washing a pile of floral skirts.
And as for herself, all her efforts have been for nothing.
An enraged Lin Hongna: "What?!!"
