Lin Xiaoman, a modern corporate slave, dies from overwork and wakes up in her 17-year-old self in a 2000 high school classroom—that year, she dropped out due to poverty and lost her mother to untreated illness, her biggest regret. To earn medical fees, she secretly sells greeting cards on the street but is extorted by thugs. She’s saved by Zhou Jianguo, the stern,中山装-wearing director of a machinery plant.

Moonlight Over Jingze

Su Wan accidentally travels into an ancient romance world, where the system orders her to "become a universally hated person" to return to reality. To go home, she forces herself to act as an arrogant, prickly troublemaker—snatching noble ladies' hairpins at banquets, publicly confronting the male lead's white moonlight, and even crushing the Marquis's rare orchids. But Gu Zhao, the young master of Jingze Marquis Mansion, doesn't buy her act: when she snatches a hairpin, he hands her a box of jewels; when she confronts the white moonlight, he adds, "Her tea flavor is stronger than stale tea"; when she steps on the orchid, he picks up a petal, tucks it into her hair, and smiles, "Broken flowers suit your pretend-annoying look perfectly." Until one day, when she tries to cause trouble again, Gu Zhao suddenly pins her against the corridor wall. His warm breath brushes her ear as he says, "Your acting of being annoying can't even fool a cat—want to try being someone I like?" Su Wan panics: how did her pretended "universal hatred" make her fall into Gu Zhao's gentle trap instead? Between the path home and the man in front of her, which one will she choose?
