After enduring yet another beating from her husband, Lin Xi finally gave up on her hopes for her good-for-nothing husband and impossible in-laws. She wanted a divorce. To keep her child by her side, she even put up with taking on her ex-husband's debts. But of course, her shameless ex wouldn't let go of a pretty, convenient wife who had always looked after him so well. At last, Lin Xi was ready to say goodbye to this world. Perhaps even Heaven took pity on her: a rift in time and space caused by an accident sent her transmigrating to an era she couldn't make sense of. From then on, she raised her child as a single mother.
Farming, raising a child, starting a business, taking the imperial exams: she did it all. In a distant otherworld, she made a thriving life for herself.
Chen Yan was drawn to this tough, resilient woman. He admired and cherished her, and even wanted to marry her and build her a sanctuary where she could stay home and focus on her husband and child.
Lin Xi: To hell with that! I've already transmigrated. Who's going to be a housewife now?
