For Shi Liu, a powerful dual-ability user born in the apocalypse, nothing matters more than staying alive. So when a bolt of lightning sends her to an ancient frontier, where she becomes Li Wuya, the daughter of a poor military household, she adapts just fine and quickly settles into life as an ancient person.
If you're going to live, you might as well have a few aspirations.
Clothes: Silks, brocades, jewelry, and accessories. That's not asking too much, is it?
Food: Bird's nest and shark fin, sea cucumber and abalone every day. That's not asking too much, is it?
A home: Pavilions and towers, terraces and covered walkways, a tranquil bamboo grove, birdsong and fragrant flowers. My home should be a scenic attraction. That's not asking too much, is it?
Getting around: A fine carriage and fine horses are a must. That's not asking too much, is it?
Money to spare, no need to work, and a loving husband and children waiting at home. This life... is perfect!
Life is hard, so you have to love yourself. Shi Liu is determined to experience everything she missed out on in the apocalypse.
Unfortunately, reality gives her a hard slap in the face.
The frontier is bitterly cold and plagued by years of war. Forget delicacies, even getting enough to eat is a struggle, and her life is constantly in danger.
Fine, then. Time to roll up her sleeves and fight!
Shi Liu lives by one rule: As long as you don't stand in my way, we can all get along. Otherwise...!!!!
If you want to secure your place in life, you've got to be bold. When life is good, enjoy yourself. Be a shallow, happy soul.
