[Ancient Times to Modern Day] [Farming and Raising Children] [Fleeing Famine] [Wife-Chasing Crematorium]
[Your cousin is pregnant. The baby is mine.]
When a flash flood hits, the farmer Xu Chunmiao races home to save her husband, Jiang Shifeng, and their three children, only to be stunned by what she sees. Her husband of six years is holding her cousin and has taken all the food in the house, preparing to flee the famine.
Jiang Shifeng looks utterly unmoved, not offering even a single grain of rice.
[Pregnancy is hard. Let your cousin have the food for now. You and the children can just hang in there.]
With lives at stake, Jiang Shifeng is still so cold and cruel. He actually intends to starve her and their three children to death on the road.
Filled with hatred, Xu Chunmiao forces Jiang Shifeng to write a divorce agreement.
She grits her teeth and rescues her three children from the flood, but goes without a bite of food on the journey. A cold autumn snowfall proves too much for her, and she dies in a ruined temple.
When she wakes again, Xu Chunmiao discovers that she's in another world.
The person whose body she's taken over is currently lining up to do some kind of [daily-wage work].
After finishing her shift, Xu Chunmiao uses the [wages] her foreman gave her to hastily buy a huge pile of food. When she wakes in the ruined temple, she finally realizes that Heaven has given her a way to survive!
She and her three unfortunate children are saved at last!
She takes factory odd jobs, delivers food, and does daily-wage work.
Despite all the difficulties, Xu Chunmiao grits her teeth, pretends to be someone from [the future], and works herself to the bone. Back in ancient times, she manages to keep her three children fed as they flee the famine.
As the Xu family prospers, Jiang Shifeng finally notices the wealth and comfort he missed out on.
He decides to forgive Xu Chunmiao and give her a chance to come back and be his wife again...
