[Farming + fleeing famine + everyday life + pocket dimension + heartwarming + not an overpowered heroine's power fantasy]
Mu Yun was a frail, orphaned woman in the modern world. After her parents died, she became a poor little soul nobody cared about.
At least, that's how other people saw it. Mu Yun herself loved her peaceful, solitary life. With the large house her parents had left her and enough savings to live comfortably for the rest of her life, she was perfectly content.
But one day, she woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar era, one that had never appeared in the history books, as if it had sprung out of nowhere.
Most importantly, she was sitting in a wheelchair. She'd thought she'd gone from being a frail orphan to a paraplegic, but it turned out she was only injured and poisoned, not truly unable to walk.
She'd barely arrived when someone knocked her out with a brick. When she woke again, she received all the original owner's memories, and from that day on, modern Mu Yun became ancient Jiang Muyun!
For once, she had found the Jiang family, who cherished her in this era. She thought she could finally live a different kind of life, but a sudden drought and war forced them to flee.
The people of Li Village left without telling the Jiang family a thing. The Jiang family was abandoned and had no choice but to flee the famine on their own.
Later, the people of Li Village regretted leaving the Jiang family behind. Jiang Muyun, meanwhile, led her family down a very different path to survival...
I prefer lighthearted, heartwarming stories with less angst. Constantly battling one awful villager after another is exhausting. This book by the author is excellent; the writing is light and the pacing is fast. Who says fleeing famine has to be a miserable experience? I love stories where the protagonist escapes on her own, without relying on awful villagers.
This is a fantastic read! This is the most realistic famine-stricken farming novel I've ever read. The main characters' journey is filled with genuine kindness, without any unnecessary malice. The family unites to overcome difficulties, facing challenges together. It's a wonderfully heartwarming story with a high level of happiness. 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Well written, especially the exciting part about escaping famine. I listened to the story about what happened after settling down in my sleep to collect coins, and when I checked the ending this morning, all the plot holes were filled, and the ending was good. Deserves five stars.
The female protagonist in modern times is always confined to her bed due to health reasons and cannot go outside. Moreover, her parents both die in an accident. She then transmigrates to a fictional Liang Dynasty with her own space (a modern house and courtyard where she can make phone calls, order takeout, buy medicine, and grow crops).
It was really good, I just wanted more... Five stars ❤️
This is an idealistic tale of refugees fleeing famine, featuring a few eccentric companions and a spirit of unity and friendship within the village. The village chief is portrayed as embodying the responsibilities and obligations of a public servant to ordinary people. It's brimming with positive energy.
So beautiful! So beautiful!
Well written, looking forward to your new work ❤️ 2025.10.03 16:25
It's alright, but the rating is too low.
It's a very good read, a great time-travel story, very warm and has a homey feel to it.
