Mu Ziyan's soul travels back to ancient times. When she opens her eyes, she's at the bottom of a deep pit in the mountains.
Naturally timid, she bursts into tears from fright, but her instinct to survive forces her to fight for her life.
On her way home after escaping, she even rescues someone along the way.
At long last, she makes it home, thinking she's finally found a place to settle down. But the state of her family is a headache: a grandmother bent on selling her, a cold and taciturn grandfather, weak-willed, honest parents, and an uncle who leeches off them.
Mu Ziyan sighs to herself. Surviving here is going to be so difficult!
But being timid doesn't mean being weak.
She keeps a low profile, plays the pig to eat the tiger, and plots her way forward step by step. Together with her honest parents and two older brothers, she carves out a broad road to success.
