In her previous life, Liu Yiqing was a “milk tea-shaking machine” at a bubble tea shop. On Valentine’s Day, she had to make three hundred drinks during a rush. Near collapse, she grumbled, “I’d be better off going back to my hometown to farm!”
She never imagined her words would come true. After an earthquake, she transmigrated to the Yue Dynasty, a matriarchal kingdom, and became Liu Yiqing, a woman with the same name.
The good news: Women rule society, so she doesn’t have to bind her feet or obey the rules of womanly virtue.
The bad news: The original Liu Yiqing was a lazy, greedy scoundrel who had married three husbands, all of them so hungry they were gaunt. She had even sold her own son for five taels of silver, planning to use the money to redeem a male courtesan.
The worse news: Her three husbands had reached their limit and joined forces to knock her out and tie her up.
When Liu Yiqing woke up to this mess, she didn’t cry or make a scene. She simply said, “Give me back my money. I’m going to redeem my son.”
She called off the redemption, brought her son back, slung a hoe over her shoulder, and headed for the fields.
From shaking milk tea to gripping a hoe, from modern office drone to farmer in a matriarchal world, this time she’ll use her own hands to sow hope in her broken home.
