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

Liang Hongyu' sarcasm left Mrs. Yang stunned, especially after she criticized her harshly.

There were several young men in the Huo family who were about to get married, and one was currently engaged.

If her actions ruined the marriage, she would become the family's villain.

She anxiously tried to explain herself to the people outside.

The Huo family elder, shaking with anger, exclaimed, "You have no respect for your elders and bring shame to the Huo family!"

He pointed at Liang Hongyu and shouted to those outside, "You! Come here! Take her to the ancestral hall for punishment!"

The elders of the family held some authority, and as soon as he spoke, the people outside began to approach.

Liang Hongyu's patience had run out.

"What about me? Huo Dagou comes here with ill intentions and letting people criticize the younger generation, and you say nothing. Mrs. Yang calls me an outsider and meddles in our family affairs, and you say nothing. You abuse your seniority to oppress others and threatening to drag people to the ancestral hall. It seems the Huo family has no one left. If I were you, I'd be too ashamed to face my ancestors and would jump into the river before reaching the village gate."

Each accusation hit the elders hard, and their faces turned pale.

Their chests were rising and falling violently, struggling to catch their breath and nearly collapsing from the stress.

Liang Hongyu's sharp voice continued, "What are you staring at? If you don't leave immediately, I'll report you to the authorities for trespassing."

Not only were Huo Dagou and the onlookers shocked, but even Wu Erlang was taken aback.

No one expected Liang Hongyu to be this fierce and showing no respect for the elders.

He Bingwen, who was used to dealing with various situations, couldn't hide his shock and surprise either.

Realizing the situation was escalating, he offered a way out.

"Uncle, since Tianzhou doesn't want to, I think we should let it go. He's been with Mrs. Gongsun since he was young... Now that she's gone, it's understandable that he's not ready to think about another marriage even though he doesn't have children now."

The Huo family elder, who hadn't faced such disrespect in decades, was caught off guard by being publicly challenged by someone who is younger than them.

Feeling humiliated, he huffed, turned on his heel, and left quickly, moving more briskly than ever before.

Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to slip away too, terrified by the threat of involving the authorities.

She vowed never to take on such a task again, no matter how much money was offered.

He Bingwen glanced at the still disgruntled Huo Dagou and his group.

He walked over and dispersed the crowd, "Alright, everyone, let's get back to work. Don't you have fields to tend to and dinner to prepare?"

The villagers gradually dispersed and they're chatting animatedly about the events as they went back to their homes.
