Due to a drought in Shanhe County, the pregnant Jiang Ruanruan, led by Dashan, flees to Nan County with both sets of parents. For half a year, they evade ruthless bandits and survive a plague that leaves corpses strewn across the land. Lin Dashan almost loses his life several times trying to provide her with food. But as her due date approaches, Jiang Ruanruan, suffering from prolonged dehydration and lack of food, finally collapses. To make matters worse, bandits arrive and kill Dashan and her parents. Jiang Ruanruan wakes up to find herself transported to an ancient famine-stricken era in seven days. She activates her storage space in advance, but how can a salaried worker like her store goods? Out of desperation, she encountered the spirit cat Duoduo, who delivered a black card, leading her to frantically stockpile goods... Seven days later, Jiang Ruanruan successfully transmigrated. The night she woke up, her dilapidated thatched hut collapsed. Her father took her to beg her grandparents for shelter, but they were ruthlessly refused. Ultimately, she had no choice but to go to her fiancé Lin Dashan's house. Lin Dashan's family didn't distance themselves from or look down on the Jiang family; instead, they were considerate and attentive, arranging food and lodging, and even helping the Jiang family pay off their debts.

Seeing that there was still time, they started their plan to hide in the mountains ahead of schedule, finding a safe and secluded location, preparing food and supplies, and taking the elderly and a small account into the mountains to live a simple and unpretentious life...
