Synopsis

[Reclaiming Wasteland + Gathering and Farming + Food + Business + Everyday Family Life + Building Wealth + Ensemble Cast + No Golden Finger]

When Lin Xiaotao opened her eyes, she found that she had transmigrated to ancient times. She was now part of a land-reclamation team, heading south with them to clear the wilderness.

From the start, she was on the road. She had no pocket dimension and no golden finger, and her whole family had been sent to the mountains to reclaim wasteland.

Their house and land had all been sold, and her father and eldest brother had gone missing. The only family members with her were her pregnant sister-in-law, her grandmother in her sixties, and her young siblings.

Even worse, the last of the family's emergency money had been swindled by a neighbor.

Even a couch potato has to get moving.

A malicious neighbor tries to extort her? She turns around and reports them, making them cough up every last coin.

The wasteland is hard to farm? She uses science to reclaim and develop it, turning barren hills into fertile fields.

From starving, freezing refugees to a great landlord with wealth to rival a kingdom, watch a modern office worker tackle the challenge of reclaiming wasteland in ancient times, turning the mountains and wilderness into the granary of Guanzhong with her whole family.

But why does the village hunter, who blushes whenever he speaks, look at her so strangely?

As a pioneer of her generation, Lin Xiaotao never became the richest person under heaven or the most powerful official in the land. All she has is a hoe in her hands and seemingly endless energy.

She clears wasteland, grows some grain, raises a few chickens and ducks, and gathers wild vegetables and catches little fish and shrimp in her spare time. When winter comes and heavy snow seals off the mountains, she stokes the stove, cooks up a pot of delicious food, and counts their remaining money as they celebrate the New Year.
