A PhD student delayed by her dissertation transmigrates in a panic, and accidentally binds her sworn rival as her husband.
Good news: PhD student Jiang Sui Sui is delayed in graduating, but transmigrates one day and never has to suffer through another dissertation.
Bad news: She lands in the middle of a devastating drought, where corpses litter the ground and staying alive is a struggle.
Even worse news: Transmigration comes with a binding mechanism, and she has dragged her sworn rival along with her. He's also the original owner's husband, Lin Hai.
Hell from the start!
The original owner only wanted to give a piece of mixed-grain bread to her starving sister-in-law, who was on the verge of death. Instead, the vicious Granny Lin beat her to death.
When they open their eyes again, Jiang Sui Sui and Lin Hai have transmigrated together.
In their previous lives, they were like fire and water, bickering whenever they met.
Now, to take on their biased, parasitic grandparents, their hypocritical and selfish eldest uncle, and their sinister, scheming youngest uncle, they have no choice but to join forces to survive.
Jiang Sui Sui has a wood-type superpower that lets her make crops grow even in barren land.
Lin Hai has a restaurant space stocked with every ingredient and cooking tool, and it can store food too.
They both keep their golden fingers tightly under wraps, suspecting each other and bickering all the time, yet secretly supporting one another.
They protect their honest parents and frail younger siblings, stand up to their awful grandparents, split from the family and flee, and frantically stockpile food.
While everyone else flees famine chewing tree bark and starves to the brink of death, they have plenty of rice and flour, eat their fill at every meal, and see their lives steadily improve.
Lin Hai is deeply puzzled: In his previous life, his business went smoothly. Why has he been dumped into a famine to suffer?
Whenever Jiang Sui Sui is asked why they transmigrated, she refuses to say a word.
She has to keep this secret at all costs.
If Lin Hai, who never forgives a grudge, finds out she forcibly bound him and brought him along when she transmigrated, she'll be in for a terrible time.
