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.

It turned around and locked eyes with her.

Irritated by the interruption, the bear swiftly climbed down and charged at her with ferocious speed.

Liang Hongyu was less than ten meters away from the bear.

As she retreated, she grabbed the slingshot hanging from her waist and, with her other hand, she retrieved a stone she had picked up on her way into the mountains.

She had found the slingshot in the woodshed, it was covered in dust.

Although it hadn't been used in a long time, it was still functional when she tested it that morning.

She placed the stone in the slingshot, pulled it back fully, and aimed for the bear's eye.

Liang Hongyu clicked her tongue in annoyance.

It's just a few days without practice, and her skills have declined.

With a roar and a rush of wind, the bear was nearly upon her.

She sidestepped and rolled twice on the ground, narrowly avoiding the bear's powerful swipe.

The black bear, due to its charging momentum, crashed into a nearby tree trunk.

The impact was so strong that the massive tree roots shook.

As the bear got up, its eyes turned blood-red with rage, and it roared as it charged again.

Liang Hongyu steadied herself after standing up and quickly loaded one of the bamboo spikes she had sharpened that morning onto her slingshot.

She aimed at the raging bear and released the spike with precision.

The spike hit the target dead center.

With enough force behind the shot, the bamboo spike pierced the bear's eye, causing blood to gush out.

The bear roared in pain, breathing heavily and collapsing to the ground.

The fallen leaves were scattered by its thrashing.

Liang Hongyu pulled out another bamboo spike and reloaded her slingshot, maintaining her aim.

Unlike wild boars, which would attack mindlessly when enraged, the black bear realized it couldn't win against this invader.

It wisely retreated, dragging its injured eye, and quickly disappeared from Liang Hongyu's sight.

Only then did Liang Hongyu lower her slingshot and brush off the dried grass and leaves that had stuck to her clothes when she rolled on the ground.

Noticing the blood the bear had left behind, she stepped out and covered it with dirt to prevent other wild animals from being attracted by it.

Bees were still buzzing around the tree hole.

Liang Hongyu gathered some wood chips and dry grass, forming a bundle, and fixed it together.

She started a fire and, using a stick, carried the burning bundle to the entrance of the hole.

After the bees were smoked out and only a few scattered ones remained, Liang Hongyu climbed up.

Many of the bee larvae had been eaten by the black bear and fallen outside the hole entrance.

The other side of the honeycomb was also damaged.

She took out the still intact honeycomb and wrapped it in her outer garment.

Liang Hongyu descended the mountain and returned home.

The front door was locked from the outside, and Huo Tianzhou was nowhere to be seen.
