Transmigrated 20 Years Later as a Landlady of 300 Buildings

Xia Zhi is a twenty-five-year-old event planner at Wenyue Group, enduring grueling overtime and harassment from her manager, Zheng Wei, who exploits female employees and embezzles company funds. After a heated confrontation where she exposes his discriminatory remarks and threatens to report his corruption, she enters an elevator with the company CEO, Wen Shihan. The elevator malfunctions catastrophically, and both lose consciousness. Xia Zhi awakens in a hospital bed surrounded by four children who call her mother. She initially believes they have mistaken her for someone else, but Wen Shihan, lying in the adjacent bed, also suffers from amnesia and does not recognize the children as his own. The children, led by their eldest son Wen Yu, insist that Xia Zhi and Wen Shihan are their parents.

As the couple processes this impossibility, they discover a calendar indicating the year is 2042, revealing they have traveled twenty years into the future. Xia Zhi is now forty-five years old, and Wen Shihan is fifty. Despite their confusion, they are presented with a marriage certificate dated September 9, 2022, and a family photo album documenting two decades of shared life. The evidence is irrefutable: they are married, and the four children are their offspring. Xia Zhi, who previously feared Wen Shihan as an intimidating boss, is now bound to him by marriage and motherhood. Wen Shihan, equally bewildered, remains composed but is clearly unsettled by the revelation that he married a low-level employee.

The couple is discharged from the hospital and taken to the Wen family estate, a sprawling property featuring a private amusement park, a swimming pool, and a five-story villa. Inside, Xia Zhi discovers a room filled with property ownership certificates for three hundred buildings worldwide, fulfilling her youthful dream of becoming a landlord. She learns that in this future, she is incredibly wealthy and has managed her investments with a philosophy of fairness toward tenants, never raising rents arbitrarily. The children are exceptionally talented, with awards in mathematics, swimming, piano, and hosting, reflecting the privileged upbringing they received.

Despite the luxurious surroundings, Xia Zhi struggles with her identity and her relationship with Wen Shihan. She retains her memories from twenty years ago, including her fear of her boss and her unresolved conflict with Zheng Wei. Wen Shihan, however, seems to have adapted to his role as a husband and father, showing gentleness toward the children that contrasts with his cold corporate persona. He reminds Xia Zhi of her original plan to report Zheng Wei’s embezzlement, suggesting that the past corruption case may still be relevant in the present timeline. The story ends with Xia Zhi navigating this new reality, balancing her shock at her transformed life with the practical need to understand how she and Wen Shihan became the couple depicted in the photos.

The narrative explores the contrast between Xia Zhi’s past struggles with poverty and overtime and her current status as a wealthy matriarch. Her interactions with the children reveal a warm, loving family dynamic that she never experienced before. Wen Yi, the youngest daughter, forms an immediate bond with Xia Zhi, while Wen Yu and Wen Lun display maturity and protectiveness. Wen Shihan’s amnesia creates a unique dynamic where he and Xia Zhi must rebuild their relationship from scratch, despite having twenty years of shared history. The story sets the stage for Xia Zhi to uncover the truth about her future self and the events that led to this point, while also addressing the lingering threat of Zheng Wei’s corruption.
