The protagonist. A modern overworked corporate drone from Beijing who saved enough to buy and renovate a second-hand apartment. She transmigrated into the body of a 26-year-old woman also named Ye Xiaoyu in 1992 in a parallel universe version of China. The original owner was a kind, hardworking, introverted woman who worked at a motor factory, was married to Yang Ligang, and had a five-year-old son named Lele. After discovering the original owner died by gas poisoning due to her husband's abuse and infidelity, the modern Ye Xiaoyu survived, confronted gossiping neighbors, and sought medical checkups. She is determined to live a better life this time around.
