Transmigrated as the Pampered Pet of the Ultimate Big Shot [60s]

Everyone in Ruyi Village had nothing to say about Bai Taotao except to envy, admire, and resent her:
— She was clearly a fool, yet she looked like a fairy!
— All the young men in the village adored her!
— She was spoiled by her family to the point she barely knew how to walk properly.
— Even a rich and handsome man who studied abroad insisted on marrying her!

But Bai Taoji herself was miserable—
She had been the esteemed Saintess of the Meizong Sect, only to fail her tribulation, get struck by lightning, and end up possessing the body of a fool?
This wretched place was spiritually barren and so poor it couldn’t even provide a proper meal!

Fortunately, her family pitied this clueless, barely articulate little fool and took great care of her, raising her into a delicate and fair beauty. However, their efforts attracted countless covetous eyes…

Just then, a tall and sturdy young man in a white shirt, carrying a heavy iron plow, passed by her.
Bai Taoji’s round, watery almond eyes widened—this man was brimming with spiritual energy and could cure her foolishness!

She ran up and tugged at the young man’s sleeve, taking a deep breath of his rich, fragrant spiritual aura. Then, in a sweet and trembling voice, she said, “B-blacksmith brother… so tasty!”

Song Zhi, the young man: ???
Clearly, this soft and sweet girl, as fresh and juicy as a ripe peach, looked far tastier!

Later on, the villagers grew even more jealous of Bai Taotao:
— She got smarter and even prettier!
— Everyone who tried to harm her ended up in miserable situations.
— Song Zhi became successful, and Bai Taotao’s entire family rose along with him.
— Twenty years later, Song Zhi became a household name as a renowned scientist and was even featured in textbooks as an outstanding figure.
— Forty years later, Song Zhi said on a television program, “I owe all my achievements to my wife. All the honors I have today belong to her.”

Rumor had it, according to villagers who went to visit, that every night Song Zhi would boil water for Bai Taotao’s foot baths. He not only carefully scrubbed her feet and dried them with a towel but also applied fragrant lotion by hand. Finally, he would select a bright, beautiful nail polish and patiently paint her toenails…

Male Lead’s Version:

Song Zhi never forgot—
When his teaching post was taken, forcing him to labor in the countryside, and when his chance to return to the city was stolen—
On the most hopeless night of his life, Bai Taotao searched for him in the rain with an umbrella, looking for him all night.

Soaked to the bone, pale-faced, and trembling as she cried, she asked, “Do you not want Taotao anymore?”

Song Zhi’s eyes reddened. Everyone had betrayed him, except this little fool, who never abandoned him.

Crawling out of the mud and into the clouds, he vowed to lead her to a life of admiration and success!

Song Zhi opened his notebook and wrote down his next steps:
