An Elderly Woman Flees Famine in Ancient Times, With a Golden Finger Leading Straight to a Modern Produce Market

Li Xiuxiu opened her eyes and found that she had gone from being a modern college girl to a sixty-year-old woman fleeing famine in ancient times. Worse, her two sons had sent her to a burial kiln to wait for death.

At her darkest moment, the jade bangle passed down through her family sent her to a grocery market in 2025.

She could travel between the two worlds for thirty minutes at a time, and had a storage space at her disposal. Steamed buns made from fine flour put her unfilial sons in their place, while a sack of rice steadied everyone's nerves.

The road to escape was full of treachery: selling daughters, scheming, and even trading children for food. Her heart turned to ice, and she decisively set off to find a new way to live with her daughter and daughters-in-law. Using modern knowledge, she grew sweet potatoes and transformed textile production, rising from a peasant woman at the bottom of society to a celebrated figure in the imperial court.
