After a horrific car accident, Su Xiaoxiao transmigrates to a remote village called Dahuang in the northwestern borderlands of the Great Liang Kingdom, where she becomes the daughter of Su Dafu, the village bully. Faced with a village this isolated and impoverished, Su Xiaoxiao, who only wants to lie flat, has no choice but to get up and work. A severe drought caused by three years without rain forces the entire village to flee famine, bound for the Great Xia Kingdom in the southwest.
Qin Yun is a ruthless doctor and the son of a fallen noble family, living incognito in Dahuang Village. His striking looks have made him the object of every woman’s affection. Unable to bear the attention, he spends his days pretending to be sick, his face caked in thick powder until he looks ghostly pale. Behind the scenes, however, he pressures Su Xiaoxiao into becoming his wife in name only.
Their flight from famine is filled with uproar and peril at every turn.
