Zhao Nuan died unexpectedly during flood relief efforts. When she opened her eyes again, her soul had transmigrated into the body of a Zhao Nuan from an ancient, fictional dynasty.

This ancient Zhao Nuan had also just encountered a catastrophic flood, which wiped out her entire family, leaving only her and her infant daughter.

Having narrowly escaped death, Zhao Nuan, carrying the original host's baby daughter, followed other refugees toward the capital. Along the way, she witnessed fields littered with corpses and refugees disappearing without a trace. Determined to survive, she decided to sell herself into service as a wet nurse in the household of the Marquis of Wu'an.

Just when she thought her days would settle into peace, the Marquis's household was suddenly struck by a great calamity, resulting in the entire family being exiled.

Before their departure, the Marchioness entrusted her youngest son to Zhao Nuan's care, asking the boy to recognize Zhao Nuan as his birth mother.

To evade pursuit, Zhao Nuan relied on her cautious and resourceful nature, journeying north with her daughter and the young master.

After enduring countless hardships, she arrived at the bitter, cold exile settlement ahead of the rest of the marquis's family.

To repay the kindness of their initial shelter, Zhao Nuan began reclaiming wasteland for farming, raising chickens, and herding sheep before the exiled family arrived.

What should have been a harsh life of exile turned, under Zhao Nuan's lead, into something resembling a sandbox farming game for the marquis's household.

Selling mountain goods, opening a food stall, establishing workshops—their endeavors buzzed with fervent activity.

Talented individuals from all directions came to join them, and strategists from far and wide extended invitations for grand plans.

The marquis's household had one response: a polite refusal.

Then one day, an urgent decree arrived from the imperial city, summoning Wet Nurse Zhao Nuan for an audience with the Emperor.

Zhao Nuan: ...I politely decline.

The marquis's household declared: You can exile us, but you cannot take our wet nurse.

Weren't you the talented individuals? Weren't you the strategists?

Come, let's discuss how to start a rebellion.
