Gu Jiuyi's accidental descent into ancient times becomes a brutal test when famine devastates the land. Clinging to her young benefactor for survival, she transforms desperation into strategy through a system space and ten remarkable abilities. She conquers every obstacle—starvation, plague, savage beasts, and ruthless enemies—methodically guiding her people toward prosperity. By the time she claims her hard-earned independence as a wealthy, unmarried woman, peace finally settles around her. Then Xie Zhan corners her against the wall with a tempting yet terrifying ultimatum: become his palace consort and abandon everything she's built. Palace politics and court intrigue represent precisely the battles Gu Jiuyi fought to escape. Now she faces an impossible choice: surrender her freedom for romance, or defy the man whose sacrifice launched her entire journey.
