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.

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

The village's customs weren't as strict as those in the large households, but they still valued propriety, honor, and hierarchy.

Besides, Huo Dagou had come for the important matter of a younger relative's marriage.

Even if he hadn't been allowed inside, he hadn't complained, which technically put him in the right side.

Liang Hongyu openly disregarded the elders and even insulted them in front of everyone.

If word got out, not only would she be criticized, but the village's reputation would also suffer.

Now, it wasn't just Huo Dagou feeling embarrassed and angry.

The older generation, who were more concerned with the village's long-term reputation also disapproved with Liang Hongyu's behavior.

The two elders from the Huo family who had accompanied Huo Dagou were furious and their faces turned red with anger.

The eldest elder pointed at Liang Hongyu and shouted, "Such disrespect for your elders! The Huo family has produced a disgraceful and ruinous junior like you. You must go to the family hall to learn some manners!"

"I think it's best to lock her up for ten days to make her learn! Otherwise, she'll just bring more disgrace!" added another elder harshly.

Huo Tianzhou's heart tightened, and he quickly turned around to look at Liang Hongyu.

The village's major families all had ancestral halls.

Usually, the women involved in severe disputes would be sent there for discipline.

Being locked inside for a few days without seeing anyone would humbled even the most unruly person.

However, no one had ever suggested sending someone there to learn manners since long times.

If Liang Hongyu were locked up there, it would be a shameful things for her, that even the children in the village would mock her.

As the crowd discussed this heatedly, Liang Hongyu remained indifferent and glancing at the speakers with disdain

She completely ignoring the two old men, which only made them more angrier.

Huo Dagou was the first one to recover, saying, "I am Tianzhou's uncle. Since you married him, you should call me uncle too. If you refuse to acknowledge your place in the Huo family, then you should move out and stop clinging to us."

Huo Tianzhou marrying a woman who is abandoned by her family is an absolute disgrace to the Huo family, and Huo Dagou's disdain for him and Liang Hongyu is now impossible to hide.

"You're eating our family's rice and living in our house. If you claim to have no relationship with us, then pack up and move out. Save us the trouble of kicking you out!"

Mrs. Yang seized the opportunity and her eyes gleaming with greedy delight as she looked at the house.

Wanting everything without considering if you can swallowing it.

"My Mother-in-law and Father-in-law doesn't asking anything when they split up from the family. You agreed to let us have this house just to stop people from gossiping. But the truth is the house was actually bought from you by my Father-in-law's money, and the deed was clearly states this in black and white. You took the money and now you want to deny it? Do you think the world works that way?"
