Office worker Fang Qingxue transmigrates into the body of a farmer's wife.
Her husband's seventh-day memorial hasn't even passed when her awful relatives try to seize the family's fields.
Seeing her sick mother-in-law and children still too young to support the household, Fang Qingxue grabs a shoulder pole and beats every last one of them out of the house.
Life as a widow is hard in a time of war, but she has a roof over her head and a small plot of land to keep them fed.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rise before dawn and work until dark, farming, growing vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, and selling food. At last, they save enough to move with the children out of Hanshan Village, where no one could sleep soundly at night.
Just as life is getting better and better for the whole family, her husband, who had died in battle, comes home.
Fang Qingxue: What now? I just want to stay a widow!
At the Battle of Yimeng, Jiang Dongxu lost his right arm while saving his commander.
His superior promised that, once he'd recovered, he could return home and take a post as the gate guard in Qingshan Town.
But when he arrived in the village, his cousin looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost. His wife, children, and widowed mother were nowhere to be found. Only after sending a letter to the authorities did he discover where his family was, and that his cousin had stolen all his military pay over the years.
Thinking of all the hardship his family had endured over the past five years, Jiang Dongxu stormed back to the village, murder in his eyes. Even with only one arm, he could beat those villains until they wished they were dead.
He was overcome with guilt. Even with his home right in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to knock. Just then, Fang Qingxue came home from picking up her youngest child from school.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, who are you?"
Jiang Dongxu, battered and worn, immediately fainted on the ground. He'd been away for five years, and now his wife and children didn't even recognize him. What was he supposed to do?
