Traveling Between Past and Present, a Child and Her Mother Thrive in a Chaotic Age

Ancient-to-modern, cross-world trading, farming, strong heroine, empress

After Gu Yunluo's father, Gu Qingzhou, passes the scholar examination, he throws six-year-old Gu Yunluo and his pregnant first wife, Li Chunxia, out of the Gu family so he can marry the woman he loves.

With nowhere else to go, mother and daughter spend the bitter winter in a mountain shack. Then, after an accident, Gu Yunluo awakens the ability to travel to modern-day Huaxia.

While the outside world starves and struggles for survival amid constant natural disasters and a rising tide of rebels, Gu Yunluo uses the high-tech supplies she buys in Huaxia to give Li Chunxia and her younger siblings a wonderful life in the mountains, with meat at every meal and movies to watch.

Later, the rebel leader says, “Hand over whatever lets you travel to another world. I want this land to submit to me completely. Refuse, and your family is finished.”

Gu Yunluo: “All right.”

Huaxia: “Who knew there was a world so rich in supplies and energy? Gu Yunluo, you’re our most dependable source of logistical support. From now on, you’re the empress of this world, in charge of everything here.”

Everyone: “The empress is such a good person. She defeated the rebels, unified the land, and gave us a peaceful life with enough food to eat.”

Gu Qingzhou: “Yunluo, it’s your father. Do you remember me?”

Gu Yunluo: “Of course. How could I ever forget you? Guards, send him to the north to grow wheat. If he dares to slack off, give him a good whipping.”
