Synopsis

The moment she opens her eyes, Su Xiaoyu is flung from an ancient world ravaged by war and famine into a modern film set.

While others transmigrate as princes and ministers, she transmigrates as an undocumented extra who can't even afford a boxed lunch.

In the past: her family has nothing, her grandmother is frail, her younger siblings are starving, and the whole village teeters on the brink of famine.

In the present: a dazzling world of phones, computers, and skyscrapers, where everyone has enough to eat, yet the roles she must play call for the “hunger” and “death” she knows all too well.

Clutching her only “cheat”: an old phone that connects the two worlds, though its signal often cuts out, she slings a broken basket over her back and begins her double life:

By day, she plays corpses and background extras on set, impresses directors with the look of someone who has truly starved, and uses her skills at castrating pigs and farming to land speaking roles. From a daily wage of eighty yuan, she earns enough to support her whole family.

By night, she brings cheap modern rice, food, medicine, and knowledge back to ancient times, gradually filling the family’s rice jar, curing her grandmother’s cough, and quietly sharing high-yield crops and survival skills with neighbors in dire straits.

Then one day, she soars through the air on wires while filming a xianxia drama, playing the male lead’s beloved first love. Meanwhile, back in ancient times, her “cassava life-saving method” catches the attention of the new local inspector, and her peaceful little village is quietly swept into the tide of history…

In either world, I’m just an ordinary person fighting to stay alive.

But even an ordinary person can carve out a place in the world with her own hands, and bring light to two worlds.

The Protagonist Is from Ancient Times! He Can Travel to the Modern Day and Back

I'd like something similar to "A Broken Hut Connects to the Modern World, and the Farm Girl Opens a Wholesale Market". The protagonist should be a native of ancient times. No modern soul transmigrating into the past, and no stories set in the Republican era 😭 Marketing accounts, get lost! I'll report you as soon as I see you!!!
