When Zhu Xingliu woke up, he found that he was not traveling alone, but that he had brought his whole family - the scheming programmer husband Liu Zhan, the overachiever son Liu Jingxing, the shrewd and capable mother-in-law Zhou Aiju, and the taciturn but former eighth-level locksmith father-in-law Liu Biyi - to collectively travel into an ancient sadistic novel called "The Cinnabar Mole of a Powerful Minister".
They are not the protagonists, but a family of cannon-fodder farmers who only exist in the background in the book, and their entire family died in the famine! Starting location: "Kaishan Village", a border mountain village that is extremely poor. Time: In the second year of the drought, the family is bare, the rice tank is empty, and the village bully is forcing debts.
Facing the beginning of hell, the family of five held their first family meeting in a dilapidated thatched house. Zhou Aiju, the mother-in-law who was the director of the sub-district office, slapped her thigh: "What are you afraid of? Our family needs people and skills, so where can't we live our own lives?" With this, the family's ancient history of struggle began.
