After accidentally falling into a strange delta, Su Wanqing struggles to survive for months before narrowly escaping. When she opens her eyes, she has transmigrated straight into a poor farming family in ancient times. Their home is bare, the rice jar is almost empty, and they have no money to spare. Even the young man who is nominally her child bridegroom has had both legs broken by ruffians and lies in bed, as helpless as a cripple.
Looking at the mess around her, Su Wanqing goes from bewildered to clearheaded in an instant: no one can save her but herself! She rolls up her sleeves and gets to work, opening a general store and taking over a restaurant. With her modern knowledge, she makes money hand over fist, and life gets better by the day.
In her spare time, she urges her bedridden young husband to study hard and take the imperial exams. Once he makes the list of successful candidates and becomes an official with power, she’ll benefit too and finally escape this hard life!
It was only a casual expression of hope, but to her surprise, her young husband truly lives up to her expectations. He overcomes every obstacle, rises from a poor scholar to the top scorer in the exams, and becomes a renowned scholar celebrated throughout the realm.
Su Wanqing is overjoyed: making money really can’t beat waiting for your husband to make a name for himself! She used to work herself to the bone building a business, but now that her husband has risen to power, she can sit back and enjoy her easy, triumphant life.
