During a devastating drought, refugees filled the roads, and Wen Qiao joined her family on a journey to escape the famine.

They braved the elements and went hungry along the way. Everyone struggled just to stay alive.

While others dug up roots and chewed tree bark, Wen Qiao used her knowledge of ancient papermaking to find materials, pound pulp, and produce fine paper.

A single sheet of paper became her family's lifeline.

Along the way, she met Lu Shi'an, a scholar fallen on hard times. He was good with numbers and skilled at planning. The two joined forces, supporting each other and making a living together.

With no pocket dimension and no heaven-sent golden finger, they relied on their skills and perseverance to build a home and livelihood amid the chaos, gradually making a stable and prosperous life for themselves.
