Transmigrating from the dark age of declining magic to ancient times, Chu Ci looked at her family, who were little better off than refugees: a gentle but strong-willed mother, an older sister being forced into marriage, younger siblings suffering from malnutrition, and a father who had been missing for three years. Barely clinging to life, Chu Ci felt her head ache. How was this situation any better than the dark age she'd come from? Fortunately, the pocket dimension she'd cultivated with her was still with her. Dividing the family property, buying land, building a house, doing business, and making a fortune: she couldn't let any of it slip by. She would lead her whole family to a thriving life! Just as their days were getting better and better, her useless father came back! And he'd brought along a... dangerous person.
When Chu Ci learned that Blacksmith Zhang planned to sneak into her home in the middle of the night and ruin her older sister's virtue, she stayed in the courtyard all night, ready to catch him and make an example of him. But she waited all night and he never showed.
The next day, Blacksmith Zhang was dumped at Chu Ci's doorstep, tied up like a bundle.
Chu Ci looked at the stern-faced man before her and asked, "Was that you?"
The man nodded, casting a deeply disdainful glance at the burly Blacksmith Zhang. "He's a bit heavy."
Of course he was! The man weighed over two hundred pounds, and you'd carried him over your shoulder like a pig. How could he not be heavy?
"Do you know I stayed up all night waiting for him to walk right into my trap?"
The man looked at her quietly for three seconds, then indicated that he understood.
That night, Blacksmith Zhang was held at knifepoint and ordered to climb over Chu Ci's wall.
Looking at Blacksmith Zhang, who had wet himself in fear beneath the cool moonlight, and the solemn man holding the knife, Chu Ci felt an unbearable headache.
