Overworked employee Su Ying died from continuous overtime and transmigrated to the second year of Zhenguan in the Great Tang dynasty. She became Su Ying, the eldest daughter of Su Buchang, the Chang'an county magistrate who was banished to Lingnan.
Lingnan was a wild, desolate land, surrounded by mountains and teeming with wild beasts. With a large family, penniless, and only enough meager rations and seeds to stay alive, how would they survive?
Without relying on others, the family worked together, laboring collectively to change their living environment. They cleared land, farmed, processed mountain goods, and strived to take root and flourish in the barren soil.
They interacted with the indigenous people, spreading advanced agricultural and cultural knowledge, improving local infrastructure, and raising the quality of life. Su Ying felt that living in Lingnan wasn't bad at all.
With the family's hard work, they grew into a new prominent family in Lingnan, content to stay in their corner, far from the political center, ensuring their descendants would live in peace and safety. Everything was developing according to plan, when suddenly the entire family was pardoned and ordered to return to Chang'an!
She had thought she would live a peaceful life, but ultimately became embroiled in political struggles.
