In an accident, Lin Xiuniang, a modern female college student, traveled to ancient times and became the wife of the village head of Chenjia Village. Before she could adapt to her new identity, she discovered that a greater crisis was approaching - a severe drought that had never happened in a century had lasted for half a year, and the shadow of famine shrouded the entire village.
Her husband Chen Dashan was injured and fell into coma while trying to save others. The hopes of the whole village rested on Lin Xiuniang's shoulders. Facing the upcoming three-year famine, she must make a choice: sit back and wait for death, or lead the whole village on a road of escape with a narrow escape?
From discovering that Guanyin soil can satisfy hunger, to organizing villagers to make simple tools; from persuading stubborn old people, to calming conflicts among villagers; from finding safe routes, to dealing with various crises on the way... Lin Xiuniang uses modern knowledge and extraordinary wisdom to lead the villagers to find hope in desperate situations.
However, the road to escape is surrounded by dangers: hungry refugees, ferocious bandits, terrible plagues... Every step is a test of life and death. What worries her even more is that her husband in a coma seems to be hiding a major secret about the famine.
When survival and morality conflict, and when human nature is tested in desperate situations, can Lin Xiuniang keep her heart and lead the whole village to find hope of life?
