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

Huo Tianzhou's eyes were red and his fists trembled with rage.

He had never hated his inability to speak more than anyone in this moment.

Liang Hongyu sneered and turned her gaze to Huo Dagou, "Whether it's slander or not, Huo Dagou knows better than anyone."

Liang Hongyu didn't know the exact details of what happened back then.

The villagers had various opinions about this matter, and she could only guess based on what she had learned from the original owner memories.

Father Hio would rather bear the accusations of being unfilial than staying with the Huo family.

How could he possibly risk his life by provoking those ruthless gamblers?

As expected, Huo Dagou's guilty conscience was evident as his face changed color, "If you keep slandering me, don't blame me for being ruthless. The magistrate in the Yamen is a man who uphold justice the most. If we can't resolve this here, we'll let him decide!"

"People like her don't deserve any leniency. We should report this to the authorities and have her thrown in jail. Let's see if she dares to slander us again!" Mrs. Yang said viciously.

Huo Dagou thought threatening Liang Hongyu with the authorities would make her back down.

But to his surprise, she showed no fear and even urged him to take action.

"If you want to report this, do it now. Why waste time? I want to see who ends up in jail."

Liang Hongyu's gaze swept over them one by one, "Do you really think that just because many years have passed, the truth can't be uncovered?"

Her tone was light, almost indifferent, but it carried a chilling undertone, making everyone uneasy.

Huo Dagou and Mrs. Yang were both intimidated by her sudden display of confidence and didn't dare to speak for a moment.

When civil disputes escalate to the magistrate's court, regardless of who is right or wrong, everyone gets thirty lashes.

Ordinary people are terrified of government officials.

This year's punishment has been intensified, and several people have already been flogged to death.

Just the thought of it makes one's legs weak.

Earlier, when they saw Huo Dagou bringing the Huo family elders, some villagers went to fetch the village chief.

The village chief had just hurried over.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense.

He Bingwen approached and asked the two family elders, "Uncles, what's going on? Why did you come all the way here?"

The older elder snorted and pointed at Liang Hongyu, "Ask her!"

These elders held some status in the village and often relied on their age to assert authority.

Given their seniority, He Bingwen had to show respect to them.

He turned to Liang Hongyu for an explanation.

Liang Hongyu said, "Village Chief, you might want to ask Huo Dagou why he brought people to barge into my house."

He Bingwen, in his forties and having been the village chief of Qingshan Village for nearly twenty years, knew the villagers 's temperaments very well.
