Synopsis

Alternate world + no romance + a native of ancient times + no transmigration or rebirth + life in the wilderness + everyday farming

Early on, she escapes while being exiled.

Later, she gathers herbs, hunts, and farms deep in the mountains.

When Qiu Shuang was seven, her own father and stepmother sold her into slavery, intending to send her far away.

But luck was on her side. Just after the slave broker brought her to the agency, a wet nurse from the marquis’s household arrived to select young maids.

Qiu Shuang seized her chance and entered the marquis’s household. She grew close to Nanny Zhuang, who had purchased her, and at twelve, thanks to Nanny Zhuang’s connections, she was assigned to the eldest young lady’s courtyard.

Two years later, she was promoted to first-class maid in the young lady’s courtyard.

She eagerly hoped each day would bring a better life, and that one day she might become a stewardess, gaining the influence she needed to avenge her mother.

Unfortunately, her good days did not last long. The Yongyi Marquis’s household, where she served, was convicted of a crime.

And, as ill luck would have it, her name was added to the exile register.

Qiu Shuang thought the eldest young lady had chosen her to continue serving her on the road to exile because she trusted her.

But the truth was quite different.

It turned out the wet nurse by the eldest young lady’s side had been eyeing her for a long time...

I never imagined that even natives could have such a clever and unblemished female protagonist. Despite her humble origins, she wasn't completely subservient and dared to fight for her life and freedom! "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" After reading this story, I truly believe that such a statement could have been made in ancient times. Go, strong and unyielding heroine! As for men, it doesn't matter whether they're there or not!

It's realistic and enjoyable. Unlike previous works where the female lead has a special ability or superpowers, as if being reborn or transmigrating makes her an omnipotent immortal.

It's great! Keep up the good work, author! I'd prefer it to be a no-romance story... I just want to see the female lead grow strong on her own!

It's a great show. The female lead is very intelligent and is a native of ancient times, not a time traveler!

It's a very good read. The author's writing is delicate, their thinking meticulous, their knowledge extensive, and their values sound. Keep it up! The author went crazy later.

I also want a place like that, where I can live by myself!

It's incredibly good, with strong logic. I was on the edge of my seat when the female lead ran away. There was no male lead; the female lead is very brave and intelligent. There are no dramatic face-slapping moments; it's a story about a girl and three wolves.

The female lead is very intelligent, has a clear understanding of things, and acts decisively.

This book is so good! It really moved me. The female lead's resilience and self-reliance were so touching. I felt sorry for her but also so proud of her. Her immediate action to protect herself when faced with difficulties was amazing. And the little wolf was great too!

It's so good! I hope there's no male lead. The female lead is brave and resourceful; she'll live a peaceful, rural life.
