Transmigrated to a Famine Year: The Government Gave Me a Beautiful Wife

share time: 2025-11-15 06:01:06

Modern office worker Lin Chuan dies from overwork and wakes up as a penniless boy in a famine-stricken village at the end of the Ming Dynasty—he’s just choked on half a piece of tree bark when the village head shows up with a stunning girl in tattered clothes: "The government assigned you a wife—sign here!" Lin Chuan thinks he’s lucky, until the girl, Liu Yue, rummages through his bag that night. Turns out she volunteered to be a "government-assigned wife" to trade for grain and find her younger brother, who was taken by officials. Forced to coexist, Lin Chuan uses modern skills (planting potatoes, making relief porridge) to save the village, while Liu Yue secretly saves money to run away. But when officials return to seize grain—and Liu Yue as debt payment—Lin Chuan grabs a hoe and stands in front of her: "She’s my wife—you touch her, you die!" Amidst the famine’s harshness, two lonely hearts slowly warm each other with the warmth of ordinary life.
