The sky was broken, strange beasts were rampant, the Dayin Dynasty fell apart, and the Central Plains became a wasteland. Shen Xiaoyao, who was born in a scholarly family, was forced to marry into the Su family, which was famous for its strength in troubled times, because of his family's decline. He became a "soft-income son-in-law" that everyone ridiculed. Others are fighting for survival and competing for resources in the apocalypse, but he just wants to sit on the stove, drink some wine, and live a peaceful life without fighting against the world.
But his fierce wife Su Qingyuan is a ruthless and enterprising character, determined to gather the refugees, build a fortress, and carve out a world in the wasteland. Shen Xiaoyao was forced to "work for love". Unexpectedly, he seemed to be a good-for-nothing, but he actually hid his ancestral survival secrets and business talents - cooking a bowl of broth can attract strange beasts to bow down, calculating accounts can revitalize the entire stronghold, quarreling people can make enemies doubt their lives, and all they need to appease the refugees is a bowl of hot porridge.
As a result, a strange scene appeared in the wasteland: while others were fighting, killing and grabbing supplies, he took his fierce wife and a group of "weird" refugees to open restaurants, build schools, and engage in trade, turning the desperate situation into a paradise. Along the way, he had to deal with ferocious beasts, tease the hypocritical survivor leader, and comfort his beautiful and sassy wife. In his ridiculous daily life, he unknowingly became the most eye-catching existence in the wasteland, writing an absurd and romantic apocalyptic legend.
