Lin Yiran, daughter of Lin Jianguo, the village chief of Lotus Village, was known far and wide as the local village beauty.

One day, she suddenly fainted. When she woke up, she realized she had actually transmigrated into a novel.

In the story, the male lead, Xiao Ziyi, was a top-notch scientific researcher. Responding to the nation’s call, he went to the countryside for a year before being transferred back to the Academy of Sciences. His groundbreaking research became world-famous, and his popularity soared.

Because of this overwhelming popularity, even fanfiction was written where a female supporting character was reborn.

But in every version of the story, she—Lin Yiran—was nothing more than a background character, the female lead’s contrast. Like the heroine, she also pursued free love, but ended up deceived by a man brought by her relatives. Her tragic fate was to die in a foreign land, her family broken and destroyed.

Lin Yiran felt a headache coming on. Exactly which version of the novel had she transmigrated into?

Regardless, she had only one goal: stay away from her awful uncle’s family and protect her own life.

But before she could even sever ties with those heartless relatives, Lin Yiran discovered that the male lead had already set his sights on her—and even confessed his feelings.

Xiao Ziyi had been raised in a prestigious compound. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence and a natural talent for research, he responded to the nation’s call during that special period and went to the countryside.

At first glance, when he met Lin Yiran, her bright, clear eyes stirred his heart.

After Lin Yiran celebrated her seventeenth birthday, matchmakers practically trampled the threshold of her house.

Afraid that Lin Yiran—who had only just agreed to be with him—might change her mind, Xiao Ziyi hurried overnight to town to buy gifts.

The next morning, when Lin Jianguo opened the courtyard gate, he saw Xiao Ziyi standing there with his arms full of presents.

“Uncle,” Xiao Ziyi said earnestly, “I want to marry Yiran. I’ve already informed my parents. I hope you’ll consider me.”

Lin Jianguo glanced inside the house, where his obedient daughter was secretly peeking their way, and immediately understood.

That very day, the entire village learned that the remarkable educated youth, Xiao Ziyi, had come to formally propose to the village chief’s daughter.
