The heroine, a top modern geologist and agricultural scientist, unexpectedly transmigrates to an ancient fictional dynasty and becomes an orphan. As soon as she wakes, she predicts an approaching catastrophic “Little Ice Age” by observing the skies and unusual changes in plants and animals. When everyone accuses her of spreading superstitious nonsense, she resolutely draws on her knowledge, far ahead of its time, and leads the ostracized villagers away from their homeland in search of a new chance at life.
The central appeal of the story is that the heroine has “no golden finger, only knowledge.” She leads her team in surviving in the wilderness, building shelters, improving crops, smelting metal, making basic antibiotics, and establishing a new social order. The story follows her growth from a despised orphan into the undisputed leader of a power in the apocalypse. Amid the ultimate tests of human nature, political intrigue, and survival, she joins forces with the upright and sunny male lead to rekindle the flames of civilization.
