Lin Shuqin, a modern nutritionist, transmigrates unexpectedly into the body of Granny Wang, who is fleeing famine in ancient times. Locusts and drought have devoured their home, and the specter of families eating their own children looms closer by the day. With her frail son, daughter-in-law, and young granddaughter, she sets out south in desperation.
Fortunately, she brought a “home” with her when she transmigrated: a space she can enter and leave at will. Milk and vegetables from the fridge, rice, flour, and grains from the pantry, and common medicines from the first-aid kit give her family the means to survive. From sheltering in ruined temples to fleeing hungry refugees and traversing treacherous mountain roads, she repeatedly uses the supplies in her space to escape danger, drawing on modern knowledge to improve her family’s diet and health.
After reaching Cloud Mountain Stronghold, this secretive “granny” does not stop there. She earns the stronghold’s respect with her knowledge of medicinal herbs and uses angelica from her space to treat patients in the herb clinic. She leads her family in reclaiming wasteland, quietly planting seeds from her space and sowing hope. She teaches the villagers to identify medicinal herbs and improve their farming, bringing modern survival skills to this barren land.
From a refugee fleeing the hungry masses to the indispensable “Doctor Wang” of the stronghold, Lin Shuqin uses the tiny space in her possession to give her family shelter amid the chaos. As the hardships of flight from famine meet modern survival supplies, and an unfamiliar ancient grandmother finds herself bound by the warmth of family, the flowers she grows in the face of despair are not just blossoms of hope, but the beginning of a new life across time.
