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

Every encounter with the Huo second family always brought her trouble.

Once this matter was settled, she would make sure they paid for it.

Liang Hongyu scanned the crowd of onlookers and sneered, "Inviting a matchmaker and making such a fuss—what? Are you afraid that people won't know how much you spent money on your nephew, and now you want the whole village to know?"

Mrs. Yang couldn't hold back any longer and was about to curse when Huo Dagou shot her a warning look.

She swallowed her words and changed her tone, "You're wronging us. Tianzhou needs to get married eventually. If no one else is concerned, we have to make plans for him."

She put on a pretentious expression of doing it all for their good, "It's true we haven't been close for long time, and he might resent us for it. We understand, but how can you drive away an important guest? If you care about him, you should persuade him."

"For over ten years, you never cared, and now suddenly you invite a matchmaker under the pretense of doing it for his good?" Liang Hongyu's sharp gaze bore into them, "People don't act without benefit. Who knows what your real intentions are?"

Mrs. Yang felt a pang of guilt under her scrutiny, "We brought the matchmaker, didn't we? If we didn't care about Tianzhou, would we go through the trouble?"

Huo Dagou, who had maintained a facade of dignity, finally lost his composure and scolded Liang Hongyu, "You return and don't greet us? I overlook it considering your situation. Can't you see the clan uncles are here? Don't forget your current status—you married into the Huo family. In the Huo family, you must follow our rules and respect your elders—"

"Does your family lack elders for you to lord over? Or do you think it's easier to be an elder in someone else's family?"

Huo Dagou often used his seniority to manipulate people, but Liang Hongyu couldn't stand his nonsense and cut him off, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "Rushing to claim a younger relative—did you bring the recognition money? You dare come out and make a scene without money, aren't you ashamed of disgracing the Huo family?"

Huo Tianzhou had been staring dazedly at the person who is standing protectively in front of him.

Having just returned from the mountains, her shoes were covered in mud, her coarse clothes torn by branches, and one sleeve unraveling and hanging down.

In the past, Liang Hongyu had returned from the mountains in even worse conditions.

But as he recalled, she always had endless work and never seemed as she did now.

Even standing there casually, speaking lightly, and doing nothing, she still exuded an intimidating aura.

Wu Erlang was momentarily stunned by Liang Hongyu's words, unsure with her intentions.

Then he realized he didn't need to do anything, as she could handle it herself.

He retracted his hoe and stood to the side.

The villagers whose watching this scene were also taken aback by Liang Hongyu's remarks and whispering among themselves.
