Through the Famine, I Travel the World with My Eldest Brother

After losing both her parents, Ming Ling’s soul transmigrates in a dream to the Xia Kingdom, where she inhabits the body of a baby girl named Xu Ningfang, who shares her surname. In a strange way, Ming Ling grows up alongside her, learning and experiencing the Xia Kingdom’s landscapes and customs. Surrounded by the calls of her older brother and younger siblings, Ming Ling finally feels that she is going home.

She says goodbye to Ningfang, and the two part with heavy hearts. Then, by chance, Ming Ling activates an interworld trading System and begins trading between worlds. She had hoped this would be her path to the pinnacle of success, but instead…

They flee famine, settle in a new home, and raise the younger siblings. Her eldest brother studies diligently, but hesitates to set out on the travels he ought to take. Ming Ling urges him to go and takes it upon herself to manage the household and care for the younger ones.

She raises pheasants and rabbits and buys shops to rent out. Who would guess that this ordinary little farmhouse is running a business that doesn’t exist anywhere in the Eastern Yue capital?

After returning from two years of travel, her eldest brother sets off with his younger siblings to study in the capital.

They can’t afford a house in the capital, so they rent a small courtyard on the outskirts. Then a young servant arrives to guide them, carrying a request from Ming Hao’s mentor, and leads them to settle into a private courtyard within the capital’s inner city.

“Where exactly is your home?” Ming Ling hesitates when the young shopkeeper who used to deliver meat and vegetables to them in the county town shows up. This man is clearly no ordinary person.

“Just use it. Don’t overthink it!”

Later, he simply leaves things in the courtyard and walks off without even saying hello. The quality keeps getting better, and his actions grow more and more discreet.

“What exactly are you trying to do? This isn’t right.”

“Don’t be shy, darling. I’ve set my heart on you, and you can’t get away. Your big brother needs good food to study, and your younger siblings need proper nourishment as they grow. Darling, I have to go. They’re coming after me!”
