The Time-Traveling Belle in Ancient Famine and Cold

share time: 2025-12-15 00:31:09

Modern corporate slave Su Xiao was burning the midnight oil revising a proposal when she suddenly traveled to an ancient village battered by icy winds and crippling famine. Bound to a “Survival Counterattack System,” her only way home is to help the entire village survive the winter. Using her stamina as a food delivery rider, she braves the cold to forage for wild vegetables; with her PPT logic, she maps out potato cultivation; she even brews “cold-fighting chili sauce” from hot pot base—only to clash with Gu Yuan, the cold-faced general sent to distribute relief: “How dare a woman hoard grain?” But when Gu Yuan sees her squatting in the snow handing out hot congee to refugees, the frost in his eyes thaws: “Are you a celestial being or a trouble magnet?” As the system’s tasks grow harder, their interactions sweeten: Su Xiao teaches Gu Yuan to use “SWOT analysis” for relief points, while Gu Yuan shields her from bandit knives. When starving refugees try to storm the village for food, Gu Yuan clutches her hand: “I’ll guard you, and you’ll guard the village.” But then the system drops a final task—“Stay in ancient times, or return to modern?” Looking at Gu Yuan and the blooming potato fields, Su Xiao realizes: the sweetest counterattack isn’t just surviving—it’s turning despair into a home.
