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

Given that she had just recovered from a serious illness, bringing back a significant haul might arouse jealousy or unwanted questions from others in the village, which she preferred to avoid.

Her main goal now was to familiarize herself with the mountain paths and look for signs of the black bear.

She had been wandering for quite some time, and as the sun began to set, she decided it was time to head back.

Along the way, she managed to gather two handfuls of mushrooms.

Returning to the traps she had set earlier, she was pleasantly surprised to find a sizable wild rabbit caught in one of them.

Weighing it in her hands, she felt its substantial heft.

She tied up the rabbit and tossed it into her basket before starting her descent.

Although there was still some time left before nightfall, and she could have stayed longer, Liang Hongyu was worried about leaving Huo Tianzhou alone at home.

Remembering the scene she had left earlier, she decided to head back without delay.

The return journey was quicker than the climb, and she soon reached the foot of the mountain thanks to her brisk pace.

As she approached the fork in the path leading into the mountain, she noticed someone running along a nearby trail, carrying a hoe and covered in mud.

The urgency of his steps left no time for him to clean his feet.

The person looked familiar, and Liang Hongyu soon recognized him as Aunt Wu's youngest son, who was the same age as her.

Wu Erlang looked up and saw her, he waving his hands frantically and shouting from a distance, "Liang Hongyu! Hurry up!"

"Quick, go back! The Huo family is here again!"

"You go and ask around. In all the villages within ten miles, I've successfully arranged hundreds of marriages. Every single one of them has been harmonious!"

The plump woman in a bright red dress stood with her hands on her hips while arrogantly glaring at Huo Tianzhou.

"Others beg me to come and treat them nicely, but not you. You won't even let me in the front door! In my twenty-plus years as a matchmaker, I've never been treated like this. From now on, your village doesn't need to come looking for me to arrange marriages. I don't want to deal with you!"

Beside her was Mrs. Yang who hurriedly pulled her back and put a smile on her face.

They had paid her to come, and if she left like this, it would be a big loss for them.

"He hasn't been taught well at home, so he doesn't know how to behave. Please, sister, be more understanding."

"Understand him? I traveled all this way and didn't even get a drop of water. In this heat, who's going to understand me?"

She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief.

After wiping away her sweet, the makeup she had applied before leaving almost gone, leaving her both annoyed and heartbroken at the sight.
