I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

Yet beneath the diamond-studded surface, Wei discovers unexpected warmth. His sisters—though fiercely overprotective—teach him to embrace his worth, whether he’s coding with the scientist, surviving a couture makeover with the fashionista, or learning self-respect from the soldier.

Among them is 19-year-old Ivianna (Ivy) Reyna, whose life has been marked by cruelty and betrayal. At 15, Ivy ended her life, only to be reborn as a Semi-Immortal, cursed to live on with a past that haunts her and a resurrection she never wanted. Her life changes when she meets Violet, a transgender girl whose own experiences with rejection and trauma mirror her own. Violet’s warmth and understanding become a lifeline for Ivy, offering her the connection she craves. As their bond grows, Ivy learns from the Whitehorse Agency that she is not just any Semi-Immortal but a rare Wildling, with powers tied to her death and childhood. This revelation thrusts Ivy into the heart of the conflict between the Crossed Clan and the Whitehorse Agency, forcing her to confront her identity and the responsibilities her powers demand. "Semi-Immortal" is a powerful tale of survival, identity, and the search for belonging in a world that fears what it cannot understand.
