Su Xiao, a post-2000s web-novel author, stays up all night and transmigrates into the period novel she wrote. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself on a barren island, face-to-face with Lu Ye, the young male lead who is destined to see his entire family die, along with his two younger sisters and his ailing, disabled mother.
With a head full of knowledge about fishing, hunting, and farming on islands, Su Xiao immediately decides to rewrite their tragic fate. She gathers sea cucumbers from the shore and expands the beach to build an aquaculture base, turning a family of four who could barely afford to eat into the island's richest family. Along the way, she pampers Lu Ye, the cool and reserved young male lead, who is three years younger than her, until he becomes her very own dependable protector.
