Fleeing Famine in the Countryside, Our Whole Family Has Transmigrated

The moment Yu Xiangling opened her eyes, she was in ancient times. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a big sofa: she could forget all that! She was suddenly more than ten years younger, and all those long legs and slim waist she’d grown before went to waste. She was so upset she could cry! How was a liberal arts graduate supposed to survive in this unfamiliar dynasty? Thank goodness her parents and little brother had transmigrated too! She wiped her face and got on with it. Life still had to be lived. But what was going on? They’d only just arrived, and now they had to flee a famine. Pack up and hit the road, quick. Staying alive came first! At last they found a stable place to settle, but their home was bare, the roof leaked, and the village headman made things difficult for them. Fine, they’d start from scratch. Her father, a poor student, would take the imperial exams and change their family’s lot. Her nimble-fingered mother would make silk flowers and weave rugs to earn a fortune. And her greedy little brother’s tofu shop would thrive. Yu Xiangling was competitive and refused to lie flat and let others carry her. She was going to make it big, too! “Dad, Mom, stop scraping every last penny together! I’ve brought home a wonderful son-in-law for you. His family is rich and powerful, so we can lie flat and retire early!”
