I’m 8 Million Poor

In the cliché romance novel, “I‘ve been in love with you for a thousand years”, Jiang Baiwan, a second generation rich female villainess, committed su*cide after her family went bankrupt. When she died, all she had left was a bank card with 8 million in it and a small villa in her name… The white-collar worker Jiang Baiwan woke up to find herself transmigrated as that rich second generation who had just began to swallow sleeping pills! And when she checked the number in the bank card, the newly transmigrated bankrupt rich girl almost fainted with excitement… Heavens! Eight Million! I’m rich! As the big BOSS who controls the lifeline of the global economy, Ji Chen felt that life was not challenging. He watched on with indifference as the Jiang family went bankrupt. He could even watch his former fiancée Jiang Baiwan, whom he had never met, live on the streets because of the bankruptcy and it wouldn’t cause any ripples in his cold heart. Until one day, Ji Chen saw his former fiancée walking down the street, treating a designer bag as a fish basket while chewing on a pancake in her hand. ……How can this woman be so leisurely!

## My Thoughts on I’m 8 Million Poor "I’m 8 Million Poor" is a web novel that I dove into with a mix of curiosity and caution, given the somewhat polarized opinions surrounding it. It's a story about a woman who transmigrates into a novel she only skimmed, suddenly finding herself with a villa and eight million yuan. What follows is her attempt to navigate this new life, determined to live happily and avoid the original novel's plot. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. A female lead waking up with a fortune and deciding to open a snack shop instead of chasing fame? That's the kind of refreshing subversion I can get behind. The early chapters promised a light, fluffy read with a comedic edge, and I was eager to see where it would go. ### What Works Well One of the strongest aspects of this novel, for me, was the main character, Jiang Baiwan. She's portrayed as a practical, optimistic, and independent woman who isn't easily swayed by the typical tropes. I appreciated that she had her own goals and wasn't solely defined by her relationship with the male lead. Her friendship with Tan Mi also stood out as a genuine and enjoyable part of the story. I also enjoyed that the FL wasn't a Mary Sue and made mistakes along the way, such as when she started her Malatang shop and had to hire a cook because her cooking wasn't great. ### Areas of Concern However, I can also see why some readers found the story lacking. The plot can feel a bit simple, and the pacing isn't always consistent. Some found the male lead, Ji Chen, to be a bit bland or even off-putting, especially in his initial interactions with Jiang Baiwan. Some readers found the "money obsessed" MC to be annoying and that the title drop was an unsuccessful joke. The constant focus on money can get repetitive. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers found the original protagonists of the novel to be pathetic and ridiculous. The original female lead, in particular, was criticized for being overly dramatic and constantly crying. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I’m 8 Million Poor" is a light and fluffy read that's best enjoyed if you're not looking for deep character development or a complex plot. It's a fun, easygoing story with a likable female lead, but it does have its flaws. If you're in the mood for a comedic romance with minimal drama and a focus on enjoying life's simple pleasures, this might be worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
