After being publicly humiliated when her engagement was broken off, Li Jinxiu throws herself into a river in despair.
.
But the woman who opens her eyes afterward is Jinxiu, a soul from the 22nd century who has transmigrated into her body.
.
The moment she wakes up, she is forced to marry the man who supposedly ruined her reputation—but who, in truth, had once saved her life.
.
Her new family is in dire straits:
- Her mother-in-law is bedridden with paralysis.
- Her father-in-law has a broken leg.
- Her grandparents are old and frail.
- Her young sister-in-law is still a child.
.
The entire Xie family is filled with the sick, the disabled, the elderly, and the young.
.
As if that weren’t enough, they must also endure floods, famine, and devastating locust swarms…
.
Jinxiu isn’t worried.
.
She has a Points Exchange System.
.
Ding!
A Monstera deliciosa fruit is worth 4 points! Exchange it for 5 jin (about 2.5 kg) of rice!
.
Ding!
Elephantopus scaber (Niu Dali) is worth 20 points! Exchange it for 10 jin (about 5 kg) of premium wheat flour!
…
The villagers of Dalik Village all believe the Xie family is doomed to decline.
Yet after Li Jinxiu marries into the family, miracles begin to happen.
.
Her paralyzed mother-in-law recovers.
.
Her father-in-law’s broken leg is healed.
.
And her husband, Xie Jinnan, rises steadily through the ranks until, almost before anyone realizes it, he becomes the Grand Chancellor of Northern Yan.
.
As for the gentle and deeply devoted Grand Chancellor himself…
.
Watching his capable little wife—who can cook, manage the household, earn a fortune, and attract admiring glances wherever she goes—he wishes he could keep her by his side every second of the day, as if tucking her securely into his belt so no one else could steal her away.
