A hell-mode start? The whole family's temper is flaring!
When she opens her eyes again, Li Shasha, an overachiever at an agricultural science academy, discovers that her entire family has been transported into the bodies of exiled officials sentenced to death in a torrential downpour.
Her father gives an impromptu lesson on quickly building an earthquake-resistant shelter. Her mother teaches wilderness first aid and disease prevention. Her eldest brother predicts a landslide with pinpoint accuracy, while her second brother cobbles together tools and turns into a human excavator.
And, by the way... they dig a handsome young man with rosy lips and pearly teeth out of a mudslide.
Crown Prince Xia Jingrui: "You kissed me, young lady. You have to take responsibility."
Li Shasha: "Your mouth was covered in mud. I was giving you CPR!"
The blushing crown prince offers her a gold bangle: "A betrothal gift."
Li Shasha weighs it in her hand. "Pretty pure. We could melt it down and make a pair of good hoes."
When the wild frontier has grown into a modern city of high-rises and glittering lights, the old emperor sends an urgent message: "My son, return at once and inherit the throne!"
The Crown Prince sends back a city plan instead: "Father, abdicate and come enjoy your retirement here. The Wi-Fi is fast, everyone's covered by health insurance, and there's no shortage of vegetables!"
