Blurb:

Lin Xiaoman, a plant-type ability user, survived for over a decade in the apocalypse, but eventually died in a zombie horde.

One day, she transmigrated into the body of a young widow from a farming family.

Her husband died on the way to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. Her parents-in-law were so devastated by the news that they fell ill and never recovered. Her sister-in-law, who had been a widow for three years, took the opportunity to steal all the family's money and elope with her lover. And her two young nephews were so neglected that they were starving and gaunt.

Lin Xiaoman: ...What a disastrous start!

Luckily, her mother-in-law had hidden away some private savings.

With one tael of silver invested by her mother-in-law, Lin Xiaoman strapped on a basket and headed into the mountains.

She filled a basket with mushrooms, rounded up a flock of ducks, and set up a stall in the county town. Her food business boomed, and she upgraded her stall into a restaurant.

But just as Lin Xiaoman and her whole family were building a better and better life, the man who was supposed to have died on the road to the capital suddenly appeared.

Lin Xiaoman, who had inexplicably gained a husband: ???

·

During the nearly six months he lay unconscious, Xie Heng dreamed that after his sister-in-law eloped with the family's money, his parents, his wife, and his elder brother's two children all died one after another.

At last he woke up. After having his sister-in-law arrested, Xie Heng made his way home with a heavy heart.

But before he even reached the door, he saw a smiling young woman come out.

Lin Xiaoman?

No, she wasn't Lin Xiaoman! Who was she?

A sweet and somewhat clueless but clear-headed beauty x a brooding, unhinged, lovesick powerful official

Su Yao was a well-to-do daughter of the Duke Dingguo's household, wanting for nothing, until one day she was told she was only an impostor.

In a single day, she lost her home and had her engagement called off.

Just when she had nowhere else to turn, Xie Yun, her former fiance's elder brother, suddenly appeared.

"Come with me, and I'll make sure you never want for food or clothing."

Su Yao thought he meant for her to be a maid who served tea and water. She never imagined he wanted more...

Well, it was better than starving and freezing outside.

And so Su Yao became Xie Yun's concubine.

There was no end to the rumors, but Su Yao never cared. Every day, all she did was make sure Xie Yun was well looked after, eat and drink to her heart's content, and work hard to save money, until she learned that Xie Yun planned to take a wife.

It was time to leave, Su Yao thought. She didn't want to make herself a nuisance.

But just after Su Yao settled down in Jiangnan, Xie Yun followed her scent and found her.

Su Yao: ...I miscalculated. I should have brought Wangcai with me when I ran.

·

Xie Yun was a master schemer who had never miscalculated, until Su Yao suddenly left him.

Why did she run?

Xie Yun didn't understand, and couldn't be bothered to.

He could always take her back, just like before.

·

Su Ke was reborn.

In this life, she swore to take back everything that belonged to her.

Using memories of her previous life, she smoothly drove Su Yao out of the Duke Dingguo's household, and even won over Xie Lin, the future Grand Secretary.

But someone, please tell her:

Why had Su Yao caught the eye of Xie Yun, the current Grand Secretary? Wasn't Xie Yun supposed to be cold-blooded and heartless, with no interest in romance?
