The Whole Family Transmigrated! I Achieved Godhood on the Road to Exile During a Famine

Xin Nian, a Nine-Tier Peak Dual-Type Ability User who survived fourteen years in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, dies during a battle against a Two-Headed Zombie King and transmigrates into the body of the Sixth Young Lady of the Xin State Duke Mansion. She awakens in a filthy prison cell where her family has been imprisoned following the confiscation of their estate. The Marquis of Lin'an's mansion is formally breaking off an engagement with the Xin family, using the pretext that the Sixth Young Lady is too young and the marriage would hinder the young master's future. The original owner was known as a weak, indecisive crybaby, but Xin Nian immediately adopts a pragmatic demeanor, accepting the broken engagement and the meager supplies left by the Marquis's household without complaint. She secures food and medicine, recognizing their value for the exile journey ahead.

As the family prepares for exile, Xin Nian discovers that her parents and older brother have also transmigrated into the bodies of the fourth branch family members. Using a secret family code, they confirm their identities and realize they are together despite being in new, weaker bodies. Her father, Xin Wenyuan, inhabits the body of a notorious profligate, while her mother, Xie Ninglan, is in the body of a woman who had a turbulent marriage with the original host. Her older brother, Xin Mochen, lies unconscious with a persistent fever, having been injured during the raid. The entire clan, numbering over twenty people, is sentenced to exile in the extreme northern ice fields, a journey of nearly five thousand li that is expected to be fatal for many.

The journey begins under brutal conditions. The exiles are forced to wear heavy cangues and iron chains, walking long distances under the whip of corrupt escorts. Xin Nian quickly begins absorbing natural energy, which is far more abundant in this world than in the apocalypse, and starts recovering her supernatural powers. She uses her healing ability to treat her family's injuries and fatigue while maintaining a facade of innocence and weakness to avoid drawing unwanted attention. When the Old Madam collapses from exhaustion and her third sister, Xin Ruoyu, is whipped while protecting her, Xin Nian uses a subtle spatial distortion to make an escort's whip rebound onto his own face, teaching the guards a lesson without revealing her true strength.

During a rest stop, Xie Ninglan is visited by her mother, the former Minister of Personnel's wife, who brings a cart of supplies and gold. The Minister's wife is furious that her daughter chose to marry the wastrel Xin Wenyuan instead of returning home, but she provides essential resources to help the family survive. Xin Nian uses the opportunity to request medical supplies and herbs. As the group continues, tensions rise within the clan. The third branch, led by the pedantic Xin Wenan and his wife Zhuang Shi, resents the fourth branch's perceived special treatment and hoarding of food. When Xin Ruoyu falls ill with a fever from her wound, the family argues over how to care for her. Xin Nian negotiates with Zhao Xun, the daughter of a Dragon-Tiger Stronghold leader, to carry the sick girl for five days in exchange for food and a waterskin, showcasing her ability to navigate dangerous social dynamics.

The story follows the family's struggle to survive the harsh exile journey while Xin Nian works to restore her powers. She faces internal conflict from jealous relatives and external threats from the brutal escorts and other exiled criminals. The narrative highlights the contrast between the pampered noblewomen and the hardened survivors of the apocalypse as they adapt to the unforgiving environment. Xin Nian's dual abilities as a healer and spatial user become crucial for the family's survival, and she begins to plan for the future, knowing that their ultimate goal is to reach the north and rebuild their lives.
