After transmigrating into the body of an abandoned woman who became pregnant before marriage, Ji Wan just wants to coast through life.
She improves farm tools so she can slack off, writes stories to build up her retirement fund, and raises an adorable, soft-hearted son. Perfect.
The amnesiac younger brother she happened to take in is obedient and capable, and even passes the civil service exam to become Minister of Works.
Just as her savings start growing exponentially, disaster strikes:
Her son, whose father is "unknown," turns out to be a key bargaining chip in a power struggle among the elite.
Her devoted younger brother’s past is connected to a secret from the previous dynasty.
Ji Wan sighs and sets down the bellows design in her hands.

Later, the powerful families of the capital discover in alarm that food, cloth, information, and public support are all quietly flowing toward a place they had never once deigned to notice.
