Volume One, Chapter One: Ye Laoer, You Shameless Scoundrel, Sneaking a Peek at Women Bathing

Baiyun Village.

On a bright and sunny afternoon, the sunlight bathed this tranquil seaside fishing village, and a warm breeze blew softly. Everything seemed so beautiful and harmonious.

“Ye Er, you little scoundrel, come out here! Peeping on me while I’m bathing in broad daylight—have you no shame? You wicked, smoky devil! If you keep spying on women bathing, you might grow styes in your eyes.”

“I know you’re in there. Got the nerve to look but no nerve to open the door? If you’re so capable, open up! Let me see what kind of dog you are, sneaking over my wall all the way to my house. You think I’m a widow easy to bully? Don’t you even know who I am?”

“Let me tell you, I’ve seen more hair on my body than you have on your head.”

Outside a shabby courtyard, the house door rattled from repeated kicks.

Ye Cheng sat inside the room, expression blank, listening to the woman’s tirade outside.

As a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company, after a month of nonstop overtime, he finally got a rare day off and took a nap, only to die suddenly in his sleep.

When he awoke, he found himself transmigrated—turned into a stranger living in 2002.

Ye Cheng, 22 years old, a native of Baiyun Village in Donghai City.

Baiyun Village was a small seaside village. Though technically part of Donghai City, it lay over twenty kilometers from the urban center. Its people lived off the sea, hardly a place of wealth.

The Ye family had two children; Ye Cheng had an elder brother, Ye Guowei, 30 years old, eight years his senior.

Ye Cheng was the younger son. Pampered by his parents since childhood, he was careless with his studies. After finishing high school, he failed to enter university and drifted around the village.

He had a history of petty theft, sneaking into houses, and even kicking the door of the widow Zhang’s house.

After his parents died, unwilling to live with his brother Ye Guowei, he moved into the old family home.

Without his brother and sister-in-law’s supervision, he let himself run wild—stirring up trouble over small matters and becoming the village’s most despised troublemaker.

He never held a proper job. If not for his elder brother’s occasional support, he would have starved long ago.

The woman yelling outside was the village widow, Zhang. According to Ye Cheng’s former memories, today he had intended to steal a chicken from her house, but unexpectedly ran into her just after she finished bathing, wrapped only in a nightgown.

They exchanged a glance before Widow Zhang screamed, accusing him of spying on her while she bathed.

She chased him all the way back to his home, where, after returning, Ye Cheng suddenly had a heart attack and died. Now, this was the moment he had awakened again.

---

In his previous life as a company executive, although he had scolded many people, after assessing Widow Zhang’s ferocity, Ye Cheng decided against going outside.

Let her curse—words don’t cost meat.

Besides, he was there to steal a chicken, not to spy.

TuningI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
