Gu Yundong's sudden arrival in ancient times from the apocalypse leaves her no time to adjust before she finds herself fleeing famine with desperate refugees. When her grandparents cast out her entire family in front of the merciless masses, Gu Yundong must fend for herself with an absent father, a mentally broken mother, and starving siblings depending on her survival. Refusing to surrender to despair, Gu Yundong seizes opportunity after opportunity—trading goods, establishing her own shop, claiming productive farmland. Her resourcefulness transforms her circumstances into prosperity, and soon her talents begin to reshape her family's fate. Yet her growing success draws unwanted attention from suitors seeking to claim her as a bride, threatening the independence she's fought so hard to build.
