Not a rebirth story, and the male and female leads are both native to ancient times!
No golden finger, slow-paced, and not a feel-good power fantasy.
Ding Ling is the accursed wretch the You family blames for the deaths of her parents and for every misfortune that befalls them. After they hire someone to dump her body in the wilderness, a reclusive physician saves her.
Given a second chance at life, Ding Ling is no longer afraid of anyone or anything. This time, she’s going to live for herself.
When news arrives that her master has died, Ding Ling can’t talk the grief-stricken Lin Feng out of his despair, so she slaps some sense into the physician who has given up on life.
Disaster strikes as the land is torn apart and foreigners massacre a village. Ding Ling drags the barely conscious Lin Feng out of a pile of corpses and takes him through one obstacle after another as they struggle to flee.
They face extreme heat and floods along the way. Relying on her intelligence and indomitable will to survive, she escapes danger and makes it through.
They reach Yongzhou safely, and she thinks they can finally begin a new life. But she never expected...
Danger lurks everywhere, and many refugees are reduced to cannon fodder. With no other choice, she and Lin Feng must flee again.
They take refuge in Yuezhou and finally manage to settle down, but then the You family comes knocking...
Very nice, but too short
