Li Qiao died with cracked hands and an empty stomach. In her previous life, she had survived abandonment, flood years, drought years and the quiet cruelty of poverty in a forgotten mountain village. She never married. Never trusted anyone enough. Never believed life would soften for her. When she opens her eyes again, she becomes Su Wan - a young married woman in the ancient Dahe Village, tucked between dry fields and stubborn hills. Her husband, Shen Liang, is an escort agent who spends more time on dangerous roads than at home. The Shen family is poor but tightly knit. Grain jars are nearly empty. The northern prefectures whisper of famine. And though Su Wan remembers the future, she quickly learns that knowledge alone cannot fill hungry stomachs. What changes everything is not genius. It is patience. It is family. It is learning how to build a home before the world falls apart.
