The Wei and Jin dynasties were a time of great romance and the Five Barbarian Tribes were about to wreak havoc on the Central Plains. This was the era Zhao Hanzhang had traveled to. Commoners and the poor suffered greatly, while the noble families could only dream of officialdom. To prevent the elite from fleeing south, to reduce the number of starving people, and to ensure that every common person has enough to eat, Zhao Hanzhang had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and get to work. There was no idle talk during the Wei and Jin dynasties; we, the common people, are just there to earn a living! This is a story about a couple who, during a chaotic world, strive to build a business and survive. It's also known as "I'm Building Infrastructure in a Chaotic World."

In this era of broken order and where etiquette and morality have been abandoned, there are still people who refuse to submit to fate, yearn for freedom, and strive optimistically.

Shu Yu transmigrated into a book and became a pitiful cannon fodder who was implicated by a female supporting character who courted death, only appeared twice, and was eventually exiled thousands of miles away. After realizing that she couldn't change the outcome, Shu Yu decided to just eat, drink, lie down, and wait. Before the exile arrived, she was suddenly told that she was not the daughter of the Shu family. Her biological parents were impoverished farmers who couldn't make ends meet and whose house was drafty. In order to cover up this stain on her reputation, the Shu family decided to eliminate her. Shu Yu: Come on, I'll beat you to death. Returning to her biological parents' side, Shu Yu looked at the plate of pickled vegetables and the bowl of porridge placed in front of her, and her parents' nervous and helpless expressions, and finally sighed. I can't lie down anymore, or I'll starve to death.
