Background / History

Xu Han awakens in the body of Qiao Wanqing, a heavily pregnant woman in a novel. She learns that Qiao Wanqing’s unborn son is destined to become a villain and that his biological father is the wealthy, emotionally distant Gu Yanqing. Knowing that the original Qiao Wanqing abused her son, exploited his Gu-family parentage, and was ultimately killed by him, Xu Han resolves to raise the child differently and alter their fate 1.

Unlike the original Qiao Wanqing, Xu rejects status-seeking and begins repairing the harm done within the household. Her kindness toward Grandma Qiao—previously treated as a servant—establishes their domestic partnership and gives Xu a stable base in the countryside 2.

After Koukou is born, Xu chooses rural self-sufficiency over dependence on Gu Yanqing. She develops the family garden, discovers that Koukou’s urine dramatically accelerates plant growth, and turns the resulting high-quality produce into a livelihood 6 7. Her farming expands from household food to school deliveries, restaurant supply, dried produce, e-commerce training, and plans for a vegetarian restaurant 16 51 53 179.

Appearance

In Qiao Wanqing’s body, Xu is consistently described as exceptionally beautiful even without makeup or formal styling; strangers are often visibly startled by her appearance 2 10.

• Naturally striking features and an alluring presence 2 23
• Maintains a polished appearance despite living and working in the countryside 27
• Later presents herself confidently in formal wear alongside Gu Yanqing at a company event 152

Personality

Xu is practical, independent, and deeply resistant to being controlled through wealth or social status. She repeatedly refuses Gu Yanqing’s financial support when she believes accepting it could expose Koukou to the original novel’s dangerous power struggles, preferring to build a life through farming and business 14 38 51.

Her strongest motivation is protecting Koukou. She initially sees herself as an accidental substitute mother, but his serious fever makes her realize that she loves him as her own child and fears losing him 18. This protectiveness later extends to guarding his inheritance, parentage, safety, and future from the original plot’s conflicts 40 55 179.

Xu is also witty and mischievous. She uses sarcasm to unsettle Gu Yanqing, invents convincing stories to deflect unwanted questions, and teases both Koukou and Yellow Immortal in everyday domestic life 14 41 52.

Abilities & Skills

Agricultural Knowledge and Cultivation

Xu applies her bioengineering background and practical experimentation to farming, though she conceals Koukou’s supernatural contribution by attributing unusual crop growth to cultivation methods 6 7.

• Develops rapidly growing vegetable plots using diluted “Spirit Urine” fertilizer from Koukou’s diapers 7
• Experiments with off-season cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and other crops 11
• Reclaims family land through its ownership certificate and expands cultivation 11 14
• Builds regular supply arrangements with Dongyang Elementary School and farmhouse restaurants 16 46

Cooking and Food Development

Xu is a capable home cook who turns her produce into higher-value foods and uses meals to build relationships.

• Makes traditional rice noodle rolls from stone-ground rice slurry and homemade sauce 12
• Produces dried fruit and vegetable snacks, including crisp okra, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, apples, and bananas 26
• Develops vegetarian-restaurant plans centered on her own vegetables and packaged dried products 53
• Adapts meals for Koukou’s age and health, including vegetable purées and soft broth-based food 52

Business and Negotiation

Xu develops from an inexperienced vegetable grower into a more strategic entrepreneur.

• Secures a one-year school supply contract worth approximately 4,000 yuan per month 16
• Learns pricing, marketing, and customer-retention strategy from Tan Yue after mishandling an early negotiation 26
• Evaluates the risks of e-commerce before committing to online sales 38
• Completes e-commerce training with distinction after helping operate six Taobao stores and achieving nearly 2,000 orders for dried sweet potatoes 179

Crisis Management

Xu prefers evidence, restraint, and formal channels over impulsive retaliation.

• Allows Qiao Xinde and Luo Yangxiu to damage crops before calling the police and producing the land certificate that proves ownership 14
• Attempts to seek legal advice and protect her family during the later assault-related case, even while facing pressure to settle 76
• Carefully verifies Qi Xing’s identity with Gu Yanqing before handing over confidential company documents 177

Equipment / Items

• Electric scooter — purchased for hospital trips and vegetable deliveries 16
• Pink two-seater stroller — sent by Gu Yanqing to make outings with Koukou easier 33
• Farmland near her home — rented to improve cultivation scale and transport efficiency 55
• Traditional stone mill — used to prepare rice slurry for rice noodle rolls 12

Relationships

• Gu Siqiao (“Koukou”) — her son and the future villain of the original novel. Xu raises him with affection and stability to prevent the fate she remembers; his “Spirit Urine” is central to her farming success 1 6 18.
• Gu Yanqing — Koukou’s biological father. Xu initially keeps him at a distance to protect Koukou from the original plot, but their relationship gradually becomes cooperative, affectionate, and publicly family-like 14 47 129 152.
• Grandma Qiao — Qiao Wanqing’s grandfather’s second wife and Xu’s only close elder relative after her parents’ deaths. Their relationship changes from fear and mistreatment to trust, shared work, and mutual care 2 11.
• Tan Yue — chairman of Shangfu Group and an early buyer of Xu’s vegetables. He identifies the commercial potential of her produce and becomes an important business adviser, though Xu later questions how much she can trust him 24 26 45.
• Tang Yueyue — Xu’s close friend, who supports her during city visits, childcare, and emotional uncertainty surrounding Gu Yanqing 27 33.
• Gu Mingyuan (“Yuan Yuan”) — Gu Yanqing’s adopted nephew and the original novel’s male lead. Xu treats him kindly and strategically hopes their positive relationship will protect Koukou from future hostility 28 31 179.
• Yellow Immortal — a weasel adopted by Xu’s household. He protects the vegetable field, is treated by villagers as a wish-granting “immortal,” and remains an unruly but valued companion 17 22 24.
• Zhong Xiumei and Lin Xinhua — Xu’s second aunt and uncle. She considers involving them in cultivation and delivery work because she views them as dependable relatives 52 55.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Altering the Villain’s Fate

Xu’s transmigration places her in the role of the future villain’s mother. Rather than repeat Qiao Wanqing’s abusive, status-obsessed parenting, she commits to giving Koukou an ordinary, loving upbringing away from Gu-family conflicts 1 9 14.

Building a Rural Livelihood

Koukou’s plant-accelerating urine allows Xu to grow vegetables at extraordinary speed and quality. She begins with household gardens, then supplies the village school, reclaims family farmland, and pursues restaurant customers to avoid wasting surplus crops 6 9 16 24.

Expanding into Food Entrepreneurship

With Tan Yue’s guidance, Xu learns to treat her vegetables as a premium product rather than cheap produce. She develops dried snacks, negotiates restaurant supply, studies online sales, and eventually forms a vegetarian-restaurant concept tied to tourism around Matchmaker Temple 26 38 51 53.

Re-entering Gu Yanqing’s World

Though Xu repeatedly tries to avoid Gu Yanqing and the original novel’s central cast, Koukou’s resemblance to him and Gu Yanqing’s persistence continually draw them together. Gu Yanqing becomes increasingly involved in Koukou’s care, Xu’s safety, and her business ambitions 28 45 47 80.

Public Family Recognition

Gu Yanqing gradually shifts from private support to publicly presenting Xu and Koukou as his family. He protects Xu’s dignity at elite social gatherings, gives Koukou a prominent role at the Lu family’s Full-Moon Banquet, and later appears with them at a company event as a family of three 129 152.

Entrepreneurial Growth

Xu later completes e-commerce training with distinction, helps run six Taobao stores, and achieves major sales with dried sweet potatoes. Her success gives her a path toward independent business ownership, though it also creates tension between work and time with Koukou 179.

Trivia

• Koukou’s formal name, Gu Siqiao, combines Gu Yanqing’s surname with characters associated with longing and Qiao Wanqing’s name; the explanation visibly unsettles Gu Yanqing 12.
• Xu’s photograph of Yellow Immortal wearing a pink baby dress becomes a popular online meme 52.
• Koukou’s urine is variously called “Spirit Urine” and “Divine Urine,” depending on the context of Xu’s farming experiments 7 11.
