A scoop of cold stove ash, two skeletons starved to death.
When Su Wanwan, a modern soul, opens her eyes, she finds herself in ancient times, in the body of a namesake orphan from the third branch of the Su family, who was bullied to death. Her dilapidated house is full of drafts, her younger siblings are barely clinging to life, and her cruel grandmother and wolfish relatives close in from all sides. They are even trying to take away the last bit of food that could keep them alive!
In this desperate moment, her timidity falls away. A cold glint flashes in her eyes as she grabs a broken bowl and fights for her life! Did she take a desperate gamble by accidentally eating “heartbreak grass,” or is this a brilliant plan for striking back from the brink? In this muddy, thorn-covered world, she is determined to carve out a path to survival for herself and her siblings!
Starting from nothing, she goes from surviving in the wilderness to filling the marketplace with delicious aromas. She seems to hold a secret that can turn stones into gold. Beneath the village's peaceful surface, undercurrents stir because of her: envy, schemes, and open and covert attacks come one after another. During a perilous trip into the mountains, she even comes across a blood-soaked man whose identity is a mystery...
Who is he? Why is someone hunting him under cover of night?
Can her “art of turning things to gold” shake this rigid hierarchy?
When the name of a lone girl from a farming family shakes the capital, earning the envy of noblewomen and the attention of powerful ministers...
The road ahead is sure to be perilous at every turn. See how this lost soul in another world wields wisdom like a blade and resilience like armor, dancing on the edge of a knife, until she finally finds a happy ending that will astonish the entire court!
Very very beautiful🤩
