The Little Widow and the Blacksmith

Ye Zi, a modern middle school Chinese teacher, suffered from marital betrayal. After the desperate tragedy, her soul traveled to the Zhou Dynasty and became a 19-year-old widow Yang Youniang. Her husband and parents-in-law have long since died, and the family is destitute, leaving her eight-year-old uncle Wu Gang and five-year-old sister-in-law Ping'er to raise alone. In order to survive, Yang Youniang relied on modern thinking to weave colorful knots, organize banquets, open restaurants, and jointly build a sauce factory, building a family business with her hands. There were many hardships on the road to survival: the greedy Wu clan coveted her land and industry. They threatened her many times and even came to her house to kidnap her into marriage, hoping to appropriate all the fruits of her labor. By chance, she met Qiu Jing, a blacksmith who had retired from the battlefield and was deeply involved in the past of the Salt Gang. The two protect each other in crisis after crisis, and develop a secret love for each other. Qiu Jing broke away from the shackles of the salt gang, accepted the cruel gang rules in exchange for freedom, was not afraid of secular rumors, and was determined to reveal that the matchmaker was marrying Yang Youniang. Together, the two faced clan revenge and the entanglement of the remnants of the Salt Gang, and worked hard to convince their families and children to accept this relationship. After overcoming many obstacles, the two finally got married. After marriage, Yang Youniang continued to run the restaurant sauce factory, while Qiu Jing used his blacksmith skills to support and protect the family. Wu Gang studied hard to gain fame, while Ping'er broke away from the shackles of the times and chose to travel around. After going through ups and downs, this reorganized family has experienced peace and stability. Yang Youniang has also put aside the pain of her past life and has a happy destination of her own.
