After Exile, I Emptied My Belongings and Took My Family Out to Travel

Yan Huan, a modern woman, transmigrates into the body of a fifteen-year-old noble lady in the Tianxin Kingdom moments before her family is raided. The original owner, unable to bear the shame of her father, the Crown Prince’s tutor, being implicated in a political coup, had attempted suicide. Yan Huan inherits a family on the brink of destruction: her father and brothers are arrested, her mother is emotionally fragile, and a treacherous concubine has fled with the household keys. Armed with a spatial dimension that allows her to store and retrieve objects at will, Yan Huan immediately takes charge. She systematically empties the family’s storerooms, boudoir, and kitchen, hoarding food, medicine, clothing, and valuable items to ensure survival during the impending exile to the remote and chaotic region of Ganzhou.

As the confiscation proceeds, Yan Huan manages the chaos with cold pragmatism, dismissing the naive optimism of her mother and the incompetence of the remaining servants. She retains only loyal and capable staff, preparing for the hardships of the journey. During the imprisonment in the Dali Temple, she encounters Jiang Duo’er, her best friend from her previous life, who has also transmigrated into the body of a neighboring military family’s daughter. The reunion reveals that the Jiang family is also facing extermination due to the alleged treason of their eldest brother, General Jiang Lingqi. The two women bond over their shared fate and modern memories, finding solace in their alliance.

Tensions rise when a corrupt jailer, seeking revenge for a past grievance involving the Yan family, brutally beats Yan Huan’s brothers and attempts to humiliate the women. Yan Huan fights back, inciting a riot among the imprisoned officials’ families. Her bold defiance draws the attention of Yu Yiran, a nobleman with connections to the Yan family, and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Although the riot is quelled, Yan Huan’s actions expose the corruption and danger awaiting them on the road. The group is sentenced to exile rather than execution, a small mercy that Yan Huan accepts as a chance to survive.

On the road to Ganzhou, the convoy faces increasing hardship as they move away from the capital. The north is in turmoil, with rumors of war between the Tianxin Kingdom and the northern Majin Kingdom. Yan Huan uses her spatial abilities to secretly provide food and medicine for her family and the Jiang family, maintaining a low profile while ensuring their well-being. She also discovers that her space contains a computer that activates a system, hinting at further powers or tasks to come. Along the way, she reunites with her maternal Xu family, who provide her with silver and medical supplies, deepening her sense of responsibility toward her relatives.

Conflict arises within the Yan family itself when a concubine from the fourth branch complains about the food distribution, causing a rift between the branches. Yan Huan firmly asserts her authority, separating her branch from the others to avoid further drama. As they travel deeper into hostile territory, Yan Huan and Jiang Duo’er venture into the woods to hunt and gather, utilizing Yan Huan’s space to store live animals and crops. The story follows their struggle to adapt to a brutal new world, relying on their modern knowledge, spatial advantages, and mutual support to navigate political intrigue, family discord, and the looming threat of war.
