Transmigration: Fishing with Spiritual Eye Brings Wealth and Fortune to Her Family

Li Suisui, an eighteen-year-old woman from the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the body of a poor fishing girl of the same name after dying in a stampede. She awakens on a swaying wooden boat in Shigang Village, a coastal settlement where her new family lives in extreme poverty. Her biological mother, Wang Xiulian, is heavily pregnant and appears older than her thirty years due to hardship. Li Suisui’s father, Li Erzhu, and younger sister, Li Niannian, are away fishing when a sudden storm had previously claimed the original girl’s life. Initially mourning her mundane transmigration, Li Suisui gradually warms to the genuine affection shown by her new parents, deciding to embrace her new life and protect the family she has gained.

Tragedy strikes shortly after her arrival when a messenger announces that Li Erzhu has been trampled by a mad horse in town, suffering a severe leg fracture. The family faces an immediate crisis: they must sell their only asset, the fishing boat, to cover medical expenses. The boat is sold to Song Da, a neighbor, for ten taels of silver. Despite this, the family remains in debt after paying for treatment and rent for two dilapidated stone houses provided by Li Suisui’s grandmother, Lin Guiying. The household splits, with Li Erzhu’s family moving into the empty, damp stone structures while the rest of the clan remains in the main compound. Li Suisui observes the complex family dynamics, noting her grandmother’s cold exterior, her eldest aunt’s kindness, and her third aunt’s pettiness and greed.

With her father injured and her mother pregnant, twelve-year-old Li Suisui assumes the role of provider. She begins gathering seafood on the tidal flats to support the family. During one early morning trip, she discovers a strange ability: her vision sharpens dramatically, allowing her to spot stranded seafood from hundreds of meters away. This advantage enables her to catch a large grouper, which she sells in Yugang Town. There, she encounters Xie Guiyuan, the Fifth Master of the influential Xie family, who intervenes when a waiter insults her. Impressed by her resilience, Xie Guiyuan has his attendant, Xie Hong, help her sell the fish at a fair price and establishes a supply relationship for her future catches.

Li Suisui continues to navigate the dangers of the town, facing harassment from a sharp-eyed widow named Kang who attempts to steal her goods. Li Suisui cleverly uses the presence of local constables and her connection to Lord Xie to force compensation from the woman. She uses her earnings to buy grain, pork, and seasonings, improving her family’s diet and strengthening bonds with her relatives. Her grandmother, though stern, secretly provides support, and her cousins offer small gestures of kindness. Li Suisui’s spiritual eye ability expands, allowing her to see through obstacles and locate valuable resources like wild fruits and game on nearby mountains.

As she establishes a routine of foraging and selling high-value seafood to the Xie family, Li Suisui secures a stable income for her household. She purchases additional supplies, including pork and cooking ingredients, and plans to install doors and windows in their stone house. Her relationship with her family deepens as she balances filial piety with her modern sensibilities. The story follows her adaptation to this new world, her economic survival strategies, and her growing influence through her connection with the powerful Xie family, setting the stage for further developments in her new life.
