Historical romance in an imagined setting | A slow, steady romance | Mutual salvation, one-on-one | Everyday child-rearing | (The early chapters focus on daily life; the scope widens later)
After an unexpected transmigration, Tan Xi becomes a child bride living in difficult circumstances in a village.
She has two young children to care for, and a gambling, hot-tempered husband to deal with. Life is a mess of petty troubles, and every day brings new hardships.
Unwilling to stay trapped in despair, she quietly plots her escape. Once the turmoil settles, she finally leaves her terrible past behind for good.
With no miraculous opportunities and no life of easy victories, she makes a steady living through her own efforts, tending to her life with care and slowly raising the children.
She plans to spend her days with the children, living a peaceful, ordinary life to the end.
Until someone burdened by their past and weighed down by worries quietly enters her unremarkable everyday life.
Both carry their own worries and regrets. Over the years, they slowly come to know and understand each other.
They meet in hardship, find healing in tenderness, and save each other.
