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

"Yes, yes, calm down first. I'll talk to him," Mrs. Yang reassured her.

Huo Tianzhou who had been standing in front of them since they came in, remained unmoved and watched them coldly.

Thinking about their purpose for coming, Mrs. Yang swallowed her pride and spoke earnestly, "Tianzhou, we are doing this for your own good. Other people at your age already have sons who can run around, and you don't even have anyone to talk to about marriage. We finally found someone suitable, and the other family has agreed. That's why we invited the matchmaker. No matter how much you disagree with us, you can't just drive the matchmaker away. If this ruins the chances for other unmarried boys in the village to find wives..."

Upon hearing that their own interests were at stake, the villagers whose also watching the scene couldn't stay silent and began to persuade him.

"Tianzhou, this is indeed your fault. No matter what, you can't just drive people away. You should apologize to the matchmaker."

"Your uncle and the others not only invited someone to arrange a marriage for you, but they also invited the village elders. They obviously take this matter seriously. It's unreasonable to stop them at the door. We don't want people to think our village treats guests like this."

"That's right. How can you let the elders stand outside? Hurry up and invite them in."

"Even though the Huo family is thoughtful. The Huo second family has been separated for so long, and they still care enough to help their nephew arrange a marriage..."

The two village elders werewas angry at being blocked outside by Huo Tianzhou, but they couldn't argue with a junior, especially since they were there to discuss a marriage proposal and there were outsiders present.

Now, hearing these words, their expressions softened a little bit.

Seeing Huo Tianzhou was surrounded by criticism, Mrs. Yang who saw this scene felt secretly pleased.

Knowing the momentum was about right, she pretended to intervene at the right moment.

"Sigh, it's actually our fault too. Even though the family separation was unpleasant, we are still family. There's nothing that can't be resolved within a family. We should have come earlier; the child wouldn't have grown so distant from us."

"He's already eighteen, he can't stay unmarried forever. That's why we took the initiative to bring someone over. We should have informed you in advance..."

Watching her hypocrite face, Huo Tianzhou's expression grew darker.

He clenched his first tightly beneath his sleeves.

"Tianzhou, listen to your Aunt's advice. You're not getting any younger; it's time to start a family. Look at your family's situation and your own circumstances. You should be grateful that someone is arranging a marriage for you. How can you be so ungrateful?"

"Listen to your aunt. If someone is willing to marry you, just agree. Otherwise, you'll end up like an old bachelor with no one to care for you if you fall ill."

Before coming over, they had only mentioned that this would be a little bit difficult.
