A modern female college student, Li Qingyi, wakes up to find herself transmigrated into a terrible old woman during a famine year. Right at the start, she is about to sell her own granddaughter in exchange for food, while the whole family is so starved they are chewing on tree bark. She binds the 'Drawing Cakes to Satisfy Hunger' system, where whatever she puts down with her brush comes true—sugar cakes, eggs, whole chickens and ducks appear out of thin air! She leads her family in making salt, reclaiming wasteland, and planting grain. From Zhaojia Village to Yimin County, from Yimin Prefecture to Yimin Province, she fights human traffickers, battles corrupt officials, suppresses rebellions, and opens up the Western Regions along the way, turning a desolate village into the number one province in the world. With no romance plot, the entire show is about building a career, feeding one hundred and fifty thousand people, and teaching the young emperor how to farm military colonies. From a barren year of exile to the granary of the world, she uses her own hands to draw a golden age of peace and prosperity.
