After transmigrating, Shen Luxi, a PhD in agriculture, becomes a poor woman abandoned by her in-laws while fleeing famine, with a pair of newborn twins in her arms.
Her mother-in-law thinks she's bad luck and brought about her husband's death. Her sisters-in-law steal her last rations, and her brother-in-law kicks her off the ox cart. “Take those two money pits and go die somewhere!”
Shen Luxi sneers.
Die? Not only will she live, she'll live better than anyone!
She awakens a portable space containing a hundred mu of fertile fields, a life-giving spirit spring, and a storehouse full of supplies.
While others chew bark and drink muddy water, she stews meat and cooks porridge to nourish her babies.
While others shiver in rags, she wraps herself up snugly in a fur cloak.
Along the road, she saves refugees, recruits helpers, and evades bandits, farming as she goes and building up her wealth.
Once they find a place to settle, she has a thousand mu of fertile land, row upon row of shops, and servants by the dozens. Her two children grow up clever and as pretty as little dolls.
Her former in-laws come back, kneeling and begging: “Luxi, we're still family...”
Shen Luxi takes her children by the hand. Behind her stands the cold-faced general who holds power over the region. She gives a faint smile.
