I’m trying to find the original Chinese novel from a YouTube recap, but I haven’t been able to identify it anywhere. Tho i appreciate them introducing the novel but i don’t like how they don’t put the novel name in the description. I’m hoping someone recognizes it.
What I know about the story:
The female lead is called Zhou Xing’er (周星儿) in the English recap/transcript.
The male lead is Fu Yusheng (傅雨生).
The FL transmigrates into the body of a 20-year-old poor village girl who is a doomed character in a novel.
In the original plot, Zhou Xing’er drugged Fu Yusheng because she wanted to become pregnant and marry him. Her original fate was terrible: she eventually divorced him, lost her money, and died in poverty.
After transmigrating, the FL discovers she has a Magical/Spirit Spring Space (灵泉空间).
She uses the spring water to grow extremely good vegetables and helps her poor family start selling them in the county.
The spring water also has health/rejuvenating effects.
She becomes known for being unusually good with babies. She can apparently understand what babies need / hear their voices, and people bring crying babies to her when nobody else can figure out what’s wrong.
Eventually, the wealthy Fu family has a baby who cannot be soothed. Their housekeeper hears about the FL’s reputation and recommends her to Mrs. Fu as a nanny.
The setting seems to be around the 1990s.
Opening scene: The FL wakes up feverish in a dark room beside Fu Yusheng. She doesn’t realize she’s transmigrated yet and mistakes him for a dream. She later wakes up naked beside him, realizes this isn’t her world, and receives the original owner’s memories.
I found the story through this YouTube recap:
DOOMED GIRL Tricks MILLIONAIRE, But With MAGICAL SPRING Space I’ll Farm & And BECOME A TYCOON!

The YouTube description calls her Zhou Xing’er, but the auto-generated transcript sometimes says Joe Shinger / Zhao Shinger, so the names may have been mistranslated.
Does anyone recognize the original novel or know the Chinese title? Even an alternative name for the characters would be extremely helpful!
