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

"I'm fully recovered. I wouldn't dare come out if I wasn't. There's someone at home to take care of," Liang Hongyu replied, feeling both amused and touched by her concern.

She mentioned Huo Tianzhou to reassure her.

Seeing that Liang Hongyu looked much better than before, Aunt Wu knew she couldn't persuade her, so she said, "Don't go too deep into the mountains. Come to my house for dinner tonight. Two extra mouths won't eat much."

The Wu family's eldest son had joined the army years ago, and her daughter was married.

She and her husband were busy with the farm and taking care of their grandchildren.

The only other able-bodied workers at home were her eldest daughter-in-law and her younger son, who had just married last year.

Their conditions weren't that great, yet they still took care of them.

Liang Hongyu didn't know how to respond.

If she argued, Aunt Wu would get really angry, to the point of wanting to teach her a lesson with a sieve.

"There's nothing troublesome about lending a hand! Your mother helped out my two sons and daughter plenty when they were little..."

Seeing her granddaughter about to run over out of curiosity, Liang Hongyu had to agree, planning to repay the favor in some other way in the future.

The area behind the mountain was vast and lush, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Even the most experienced hunters wouldn't venture alone into the dangerous depths of the mountains.

The villagers who come here to play would only explore the outskirts, never daring to go too far.

The well-trodden paths near the mountain entrance showed no signs of wildlife.

As Liang Hongyu walked along, she found no traces of animals.

The forest breeze felt refreshing, and Liang Hongyu, after walking for a while, thought that going into the mountains to hunt had been a good decision.

After just a short time, she felt much more at ease, and the unfamiliarity of the place seemed to lessen.

Perhaps it was the aftermath of living through the apocalypse era—after years of constant tension and suddenly relaxing made her want to do nothing.

She even fancifully thought about building a house on the mountain and living in seclusion.

Back at home, there's a young man who is burdened with debt from her medical expenses and on the brink of starvation was waiting for her to support him.

Liang Hongyu hadn't been walking for long when she encountered a hunter who had gone into the mountains early that morning.

Judging by the weight of the bamboo basket on his back, he had a good haul, but he looked rather disheveled, with muddy clothes and torn sleeves and pant legs.

The original Liang Hongyu occasionally ran into him in the mountains.

She knew his surname was Hong, and he lived at the east end of the village.

He was one of the best hunters in the area.

"Uncle Hong, you're heading back already," Liang Hongyu greeted him.
