Liang Hongyu, a resilient survivor from a post-apocalyptic world, finds herself reborn in the body of a woman in the Great Yuan Dynasty—a fictional era not recorded in Chinese history. The original owner of her new body had died from a cold caught in the mountains, giving Liang Hongyu a second chance at life.

As she awakens, Liang Hongyu, now living in a modest yellow mud-tiled house, begins to process the memories of her body's former owner and the era she now inhabits. She learns about her new life and the people in it, particularly her "husband," Huo Tianzhou, a mute young man of 18 years who had been taking care of her during her illness.

Liang Hongyu's new existence is fraught with challenges. The original owner of her body, also named Liang Hongyu, had married into Huo Tianzhou's family out of gratitude and necessity. After the deaths of both her mother-in-law and her father-in-law, the household fell into debt, and their land and house were constantly coveted by greedy relatives.

Determined to survive and fulfill her promise to her mother-in-law, Liang Hongyu decides to repay the debts and find a new way to support the household. She quickly realizes that their immediate need is food, and despite Huo Tianzhou's silent objections, she plans to return to the mountains to gather resources.

Throughout her journey, Liang Hongyu is struck by the stark differences between her past life and her new one, as well as the unexpected resilience and determination of Huo Tianzhou. Despite his frail appearance and inability to speak, he shows a surprising strength of character.

As Liang Hongyu navigates her new reality, she faces the daunting task of balancing her sense of duty to her new family with her desire for independence and survival skills honed in the apocalypse. Her story is one of resilience, adaptation, and the pursuit of a better life in an unfamiliar world.

Married And Getting Rich In Ancient Times

Huo Tianzhou's room had two beds, but given her constant state of alertness and readiness to defend herself, Liang Hongyu feared she might react violently in her sleep and mistakenly think someone had entered the room.

With Huo Tianzhou's frail frame, he wouldn't stand a chance against such a reaction.

To prevent any misunderstanding, Liang Hongyu added, "I will help pay off the family's debt."

Huo Tianzhou did not look up for a long time after hearing this.

In the post-apocalyptic world, dangers lurked everywhere, and even the air could be deadly.

For her, a peaceful and stable life was destined to be an unattainable dream.

But now, she had confirmed the safety of her current environment, perhaps because her constantly tense nerves were finally relaxing, Liang Hongyu didn't want to do anything at the moment.

There was actually no need to rush to earn money and repay the debts.

The money that was saved by the original owner would be enough for Liang Hongyu to cope with it for a while.

As for herself, the mountains behind their home were a vast treasure trove.

The people here were living from cultivating the land to do farming and had access to water for drinking, so they would never go hungry.

Liang Hongyu didn't waste any more words and got up to fetch a stool from the kitchen.

Huo Tianzhou also stood up as well and gave her a direct look before turning around and walking into the house.

It looked like he had something to tell her.

Not long after that, he came back while holding a box in her hands, which she handed it over to him.

It was the money box where the original owner had kept her savings.

Huo Tianzhou stood in front of her with her head tilted slightly up as he met her gaze.

Although his face showed signs of illness, he had bright and determined eyes that looked like someone who refused to admit defeat.

Liang Hongyu had thought that he might not be able to accept the sudden request for separation, but it seemed he not only accepted it well but also knew that their separation would involve dividing their assets, hence bringing the money box.

Taking a moment to reconsider her hasty judgment, Liang Hongyu raised her hand to take the money box and opened it

As it turned out, he had been mistaken.

When the original owner was still in the Liang family, all the money she earned was given over to that family.

She hadn't been able to save any money throughout the year.

After "marrying" Huo Tianzhou, she could keep the money for herself, but at that time, Mother Huo was seriously ill, and they had used up all the money for her treatment and leaving them in debt.

They had been paying it back every year, but they hadn't cleared it by this year.
