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.

He put down the cleaver and juggled the egg between his hands to avoid the heat.

Just as Liang Hongyu was about to turn away, she saw this scene and paused.

Standing beside him, she looked down at Huo Tianzhou, but she hesitated to speak.

Huo Tianzhou, despite the burning sensation in his hand, stopped moving.

He raised his head and looked up at Liang Hongyu, his eyes carrying an unexpected intensity, feeling slightly indignant from her unspoken meaning.

The eggs from the family's chickens were usually saved and sold to pay off debts.

They could gather about one egg every other day, but sometimes there would be a break time for the hens until they lay eggs again.

Now that the hens had started laying again, Liang Hongyu needed the eggs more than Huo Tianzhou.

Thinking of this, Huo Tianzhou handed the egg back to her.

Liang Hongyu looked at his stubborn, clear, and pure eyes.

For a moment, she instinctively wanted to reach for the short arrow at her waist.

However, she quickly shook her head, reminding herself that this wasn't the apocalypse.

"You should eat it. I'm not used to eating eggs. I'll find something else to eat in the mountains," Liang Hongyu said casually, then turned around and picked up the bamboo basket.

Huo Tianzhou was taken aback, his gaze darkening as he tightened his grip on the egg.

He had always heard similar words at home before.

While he was lost in thought, Liang Hongyu had already walked away.

After a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "Remember to latch the door after I leave."

Huo Tianzhou felt it wasn't necessary, but seeing the egg that began to cool down in his hand, he still got up and followed her order.

It took almost half an hour to reach the mountain entrance from home.

By the time people started climbing, the sun had already risen, and the mountain mist hadn't completely cleared.

The morning dew was heavy, and soon, Liang Hongyu's pant legs were damp.

She first checked the traps from yesterday.

Both of the traps had caught wild rabbits, there are three in total, although they were smaller than the ones she caught yesterday, each weighing no more than five pounds.

Looking listless from being trapped overnight, Liang Hongyu tied the rabbits together and placed them in her bamboo basket.

Then, she picked a few wild fruits to eat, drank some water, and rested for a while.

Seeing the dew had lessened, she went to the grass from yesterday and, using the same method, caught a few pheasants.

After tying them up and putting them in the basket, the morning mist had completely cleared, and the sun was blazing.

The basket wasn't very large and was almost full of rabbits and pheasants, making it inconvenient to carry them further into the mountains.

This area near the outer mountains generally didn't have large animals that were coming for food.
