Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons Novel

Reborn in the 1980s after a bizarre lightning strike, Tong Yao finds herself the spoilt wife of a brilliant doctor from the future. Her new life is anything but ordinary, as she's soon entangled in accusations of eloping and theft, reacting with typical dramatic outbursts. Amidst these troubles, Tong Yao discovers a remarkable ability: understanding animal language. While others focus on accumulating wealth, she prefers to observe the unfolding drama around her, relaying juicy gossip overheard from the local fauna. Reports detail a deputy director accepting bribes, the Dean's discomfort, and marital strife within a prominent family, painting Tong Yao as a subject of much speculation for her own alleged clandestine meetings. Her eavesdropping takes a personal turn when a stray cat reveals her doctor husband is meeting a nurse. Arriving to confront them, Tong Yao discovers the meeting is professional, only to be cornered by her husband, who questions her motives. The narrative concludes with Tong Yao realizing her own indiscretions have finally caught up to her.
