Li Wuyya, a five-year-old girl, transmigrated from the apocalypse into a military household at Tianling Village Post Station, a desolate outpost on the northwestern frontier of Great Chu. She was born as a twin with her brother Li Qilang, and they lived under harsh conditions of extreme heat, scarce water, and meager food. Her father, Li Changsen, was a squad leader in the garrison, and her mother, Jin Yue'e, worked in the post station's kitchen. The Li family was large, with many mouths to feed, making survival a daily challenge. Li Wuyya retained her spiritual power and healing ability from her previous life, but both were reset to zero; she could improve her spiritual power through meditation, but her healing ability remained dormant due to lack of medicinal herbs.The story begins with Li Wuyya and Li Qilang suffering from hunger and thirst in the woodshed. They had only two meals a day of dried flatbread and wild vegetable soup. To get extra food, Li Wuyya used her healing knowledge, learned from her mother, to treat a wounded worker named Li Erniu for the postmaster, earning four dried flatbreads. She showed remarkable maturity and calmness in treating the severe wound, impressing the postmaster. After eating, she planned to take the remaining flatbreads to her siblings.Suddenly, the post station was attacked. A group of about ten strong men, pursued by cavalry from Dieling Pass under Brigadier General Zhuang Yutang, stormed the station. They killed anyone who resisted and herded the staff into the main hall. Li Wuyya, sensing danger, quickly led Li Qilang into a secret tunnel she had discovered behind a disused stove in the kitchen. The tunnel had two entrances and was safe for hiding. From the tunnel, she used her spiritual power to observe the situation: the attackers held the people hostage, and the outside cavalry surrounded the station with bows ready.The attackers' leader, Hu Yanhe, a Northern Yan expert, threatened to kill the hostages if the cavalry approached. General Zhuang Yutang hesitated to attack directly, wanting to save the people inside. Deputy General Xu Chengkun urged immediate action, but Zhuang Yutang decided to wait until dark to infiltrate and rescue as many as possible. The story captures the tense standoff, highlighting the dangers of border life and the constant threat of violence.Li Wuyya's primary goal is survival for herself and her brother in this unforgiving environment. She uses her wits, spiritual power, and healing ability to navigate daily hardships and unexpected crises. The core conflict stems from the harsh living conditions, the large family's needs, and the external threats from bandits and warfare. Her ultimate aim is to overcome poverty and scarcity, aiming for a life with enough food and better prospects, as she teaches her brother to aspire beyond mere survival.The narrative establishes her resilience and adaptability, contrasting her inner maturity from her past life with her current childlike circumstances. The story ends on a cliffhanger with the siege, but it sets the stage for her ongoing struggle to protect her family and grow her abilities, facing both internal family dynamics and external dangers. Li Wuyya dreams of a better future, where meat replaces dried flatbread as a daily staple, but must first survive the immediate conflict at the post station.
